When RRC is launched, it sends out UDP broadcast on port 5000 to discover Raritan devices. If there is a Raritan device on the network, it will respond back with broadcast on UDP 5001. While this happens, you will see browsed (sphere like icon) profile. To prevent the UDP Broadcast, click on the globe like icon on RRC icon menu to turn off browsing. Note that this action will work only for this session. The Next time a user launches RRC, it will send out broadcast again because this function is on by default.
