Method Detail

OpenRemote

public int OpenRemote(int serverSerial,
                      int port,
                      int serialNumber,
                      java.lang.String pass)
Open the device when it is on the local network. This uses a UDB broadcast to find the server with a specified serial number, so you don't need to know it's IP address, but only works on internal networks where broadcasting is allowed

Parameters:
serverSerial - Serial number of the server, or -1 for any serial
port - Server port
serialNumber - Serial number of the device or -1 for any serial
pass - Server password
Returns:
0 on success

OpenRemoteIP

public int OpenRemoteIP(java.lang.String ip,
                        int port,
                        int serialNumber,
                        java.lang.String pass)
Open the device when it is on a remote network. Use this when OpenRemote fails, such as opening Phidgets over the internet. You need to know the IP address here.

Parameters:
ip - IP address or hostname of the server
port - Server port
serialNumber - Serial number of the device or -1 for any serial
pass - Server password
Returns:
0 on success
