Parameters

client

The client object that will perform the operation.

serverCapabilityFilter

List of Server capability filters. Only records with all of the specified server capabilities are returned.

discoveryHost

The name of the machine that runs the discovery server that will be used for discovery task.

flat

Determines whether one element will be returned for each discovery URI.

Return Value

This method uses the so-called Local Discovery Server with Multicast Extensions (LDS-NE). You can influence how the discovery works using the properties in SharedParameters.

Invokes the FindServersOnNetwork service.

When the flat parameter is false, the discovery query returns one OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Discovery.UADiscoveryElement for each application found, and its OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Discovery.IUAReadOnlyApplicationElement.DiscoveryUriStrings property contains one or more application discovery URLs.

When the flat parameter is true, the discovery query returns one OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Discovery.UADiscoveryElement for each discovery URL of each application found. In this case, the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Discovery.IUAReadOnlyApplicationElement.DiscoveryUriStrings property of each returned application element contains precisely one string, and you can therefore use the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Discovery.IUAReadOnlyApplicationElement.DiscoveryUriString property instead to obtain the discovery URL.
