The UDP Broadcast protocol is a method of sending Sensor Seal measurements via UDP to all other devices on the local network segment that the Sensor Seal Gateway is connected to. The UDP datagram payload simply contains a single Sensor Seal measurement as specified by the configured measurement format.
Using the conntype command, the connectivity type can be set to
UDPBroadcast
and the measurement format set to the desired value. A destination port can then be configured using the udpsetup command.
Example Configuration
An example configuration is shown below. In this, the gateway is configured to send Sensor Seal measurements to all devices within the Gateway's subnet which are listening on UDP port 2828.
conntype UDPBroadcast SSRB
The destination port is then specified using the udpsetup command:
udpsetup 2828
Now, when the Gateway receives a Sensor Seal measurement, it will encode it into the SSRB format and broadcast on port 2828 a UDP datagram containing this measurement to all devices within the subnet.
