Member Function Documentation

static lookup (  port  , server  )  [static]

Static method for resolving the multicast port and group values. Parameters: port  An integer containing the multicast port to use, e.g. from the port() method above, or None to indicate that the value will come from the supplied server string. server  A string that contains either the machine ID (test stand instance number), or <port><group IP or name>, or <group ip ="" or="" name=""> when a port number is also supplied. These last two can be used to override the values chosen by this class. The machine ID is a number from 0 - 999, where the hundreds digit represents the site ID and remainder (0-99) is the machine ID at the site. This latter portion is what's used. Returns: A list made up of the resolved port and group values.
