New hardware device information
Specify details about the new hardware device:
Name Description
IP Address IP address or host name of the hardware device.
Port
Port number on which to scan. The default is port 80. If a hardware
device is located behind a NAT-enabled router or a firewall, you
may need to specify a different port number. When this is the case,
also remember to configure the router/firewall so it maps the port
and IP address used by the hardware device.
User Name
User name for the hardware device's administrator account. Many
organizations use the hardware device manufacturer's default user
names for their hardware devices. If that is the case in your
organization, select (do not type a manufacturer's default
user name as this can be a source of error
—trust that your system
knows the manufacturer's default user name).
You can also select other typical user names, such as admin or
root, from the list. Type a new user name if you want a user name
which is not on the list.
Password
Password required to access the administrator account. Some
hardware devices do not require user name/password for access.
To specify which device driver to use for the new hardware device, you can:

Select the video device driver in the Hardware device type list, and then click Auto-
detect/Verify Hardware Device Type to verify that the driver matches the hardware device.
