UDP MultiCast on cFP

[GeneHancock]

I am attemtping to write an application for the cFp 2120 that uses UDP multicast.  I developed it mostly on my PC and was surprised to find it not supported on cFP once I downloaded it for the first time.  I have searched for information on this and can't find much.  I found in one post that the I should use UDP Broadcst instead of multicast but there is no UDP Broadcast vi.  Is the standard UDP read and write whatthey are refering to?  Is this truely not available?

Thank you for your help.

Hi GeneHancock,

UPD is supported on cFP. It is lossy. There are other methods of communication detailed here. Can you clarify what you mean by unsupported? Did you install all the drivers onto your FieldPoint as well?

A broadcast is sending the message to a broadcast address in the subnet. Each device will get the message send to the broadcast address.
