asterisk users - Dec 2018 - DPMA - simulate mDNS scan from command line

I'm working on an asterisk upgrade to 16.1 and am remote from that 
location. We use Digium phones there, configured with DPMA. From my VPN 
I can connect to the server directly with the phone on my desk, but it 
doesn't find the configuration server automatically since I'm on a 
different physical network.

Is there a way to simulate on the linux command line whatever mDNS scan 
the phone does when looking for a configuration server, so that I can 
verify that it is set up correctly?

Answering my own question:
avahi-browse --resolve _digiumproxy._udp

That seems to do the trick.

Howdy,

Aye.  I've put an example over here:
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/DIGIUM/Provisioning

look for the expand under "Here is an example Avahi services definition
file..."

Cheers
