Initialisation of communication

  1. Link-local addressing:
    Both devices automatically assign themselves an IP address in the range 169.254.x.x, as no DHCP server is available. This allows direct communication.
  2. Avahi (mDNS) hostname resolution:
  3. Result:
    The devices can communicate directly with each other without manual IP configuration, either via the IP address (169.254.1.1) or the host name (c6c3.local).
