Goal / when to use

Get IDFM running on the PC you will use for commissioning so amplifiers can be discovered and configured.

Download

  1. Open the Innosonix downloads page.
  2. Select the IDFM tab.
  3. Download the build for your OS:
OSFileNotes
Windowsidfm-….exeNSIS installer — choose install directory; desktop / Start menu shortcuts available
Linuxidfm-….AppImageMake executable, then run (no separate installer)
macOSidfm-….dmgUniversal build; open the DMG and install the app as usual

IDFM may offer an in-app update when a newer tool version is published on the download service.

First launch

  1. Start IDFM.
  2. Open the DEVICES page (default).
  3. Check UDP STATUS (top right).
  4. Confirm devices appear, or that the status does not show UDP blocked / port unavailable.

Expected result

The device table loads. Online count updates as amps answer discovery. If nothing appears yet, continue with Discover and IP (same L2 segment, or add/scan).

Firewall and UDP status

Automatic discovery uses UDP 9453. The PC firewall must allow IDFM to send and receive that traffic on your control network.

  • Use UDP STATUS to see whether discovery sockets are healthy on local interfaces.
  • If another IDFM instance is already running, you may see a port already in use message — quit the other instance.
  • Windows: if devices never appear, open HELP in IDFM. The FAQ can re-apply Windows firewall allow rules for the app, or (last resort) temporarily disable the firewall profile while diagnosing. Prefer fixing rules over leaving the firewall off.
