WinBox.exe is it possible?
« on: July 29, 2024, 01:05:30 pm »
Using Delphi / Lazarus, is it possible to create application Winbox.exe?
usually i use ip address to access netwoork devices.
btw, winbox is able to access via mac address.

I haven't tried but I believe Lazarus can be used to create the program you want. Here you can see Lazarus has been used to create communication software:
https://wiki.freepascal.org/Projects_using_Lazarus_-_Communications_software

In the link above you can find Siemens Speedstream 4200 Utility.

Lazarus, Delphi and other development software are just tools. What can be built using them depends more on the programmer skill. Lazarus as a tool of general purpose language, basically you can build any kind of software using it. Some plus are, Lazarus/Pascal allow to access hardware directly, you can also include Assembly code if you want.

I believe that what he is trying to ask is whether Lazarus can be used to write a program which references a specific host (node on a network) by MAC address.

Without a great deal of additional information relating to available protocols, protocol-specific libraries and so on I feel that's unanswerable.

Indy and synapse use ip address in order to reach the device.
i'm always using tcp protocol anyway cause only this one is needed.
so i never do anything with udp.
is winbox.exe using udp protocol?

How the Hell do you expect us to know? When you started you were asking about MAC addresses... do you understand the difference?
