Disable the network discovery port

You can disable the network discovery port on Pearl-2 using the Admin panel so that services can no longer discover Pearl-2 systems using multicast DNS (mDNS). The network discovery port on Pearl-2 is port 5557 and is enabled by default.

Important considerations

• You cannot connect to the Admin panel using a DNS-based service discovery if you disable the network discovery port, see Connect using a DNS-based service discovery.
• The network discovery port must be enabled to use the NDI feature on Pearl-2.

Disable the network discovery port using the Admin panel

1. Login to the Admin panel as admin, see Connect to Admin panel.

2. From the Configuration menu, select Network. The Network configuration page opens.
3. Uncheck Make this device discoverable on the network as <uniqueID.local>, then click Apply.
