• Network management functions for Domain Address Scan
  The domain address scan method from the INetworkManagement interface scans for all individual and domain addresses defined by the KNX handbook, but be careful this might take several hours. You could also use DomainAddressScanEx from the INetworkManagement3 interface. Here you have the possibility to fine-tune the scan. Moreover, this scan can be aborted by using the CancelDomainAddressScan method called from e.g. a second thread.
