DISPLAX Service provides a command that allows you to list all available DISPLAX hosts detected on the same network. This feature is commonly used to identify reachable systems running DISPLAX Service for remote management, diagnostics, or network-based features.
To display all DISPLAX hosts currently discoverable on the network, open a terminal or command prompt and run one of the following commands:
displaxservice -m
or
displaxservice --list-hosts
When executed, the command:
Scans the local network for DISPLAX Service instances
Lists available hosts that are reachable and responding
Helps confirm network visibility between systems
This is especially useful in multi-PC installations or distributed touch environments.
For host listing to work correctly:
Network discovery must be enabled in DISPLAX Service
The hosts must be on the same network or subnet
Firewalls or security software must allow discovery traffic
If no hosts appear, verify that network discovery is enabled and permitted.
Verifying connectivity between multiple DISPLAX systems
Identifying hosts for remote configuration or monitoring
Troubleshooting network visibility issues
Preparing for features such as remote casting or control
Use this command only on trusted networks.
Disable network discovery if host listing is not required.
Combine host listing with controlled network access for improved security.
Re-run the command after network or service configuration changes.
