SEARCH [DISABLE; KNOWN; SEARCH ]
  • If discover = SEARCH, the administration server handles SEARCH discovery requests from clients. SEARCH provides a superset of the functionality provided by KNOWN discovery. When discover = SEARCH, the administration server will handle both SEARCH and KNOWN discovery requests from clients.
  • If discover = KNOWN, the administration server handles only KNOWN discovery requests from clients.
  • If discover = DISABLE, then the administration server will not handle any type of discovery request. The information for this server system is essentially hidden from clients.

Discovery mode is enabled by default.
