Examples
Add a device by IP address when it can't be auto-discovered (for example across a VPN or a router that blocks multicast):
bb-eco discover add 192.168.1.101
IP MAC Model Name Firmware Family
------------ ----------------- ------ ------ -------- ------
192.168.1.101 00:0A:4F:06:4A:EE ED-549 ED-549 8.25 ED
Device added: ED-549 at 192.168.1.101
The device is probed directly over HTTP, identified, and saved alongside auto-discovered devices, and bb-eco list shows it from now on.
A device whose web server was moved off port 80 (its own Network page, Web Config Port) on a network without UPnP cannot be found any other way. Give the port with the address:
bb-eco discover add 192.168.127.24:90
The port is asked first, then the usual 80 and 5001, and the port that answered is saved with the device: every later command given the bare address (bb-eco config 192.168.127.24) reaches it on 90 again. A port that is not a number from 1 to 65535 is refused before anything is asked.
