Discover Devices
The Device Discovery function ensures that all vNet Devices
connected to your network are identified by viewLinc or vLog
software with a reserved or static IP address.
Note:
If you use viewLinc 4.3 or higher, and are installing
vNet Devices with serial number 1411xxxx
or
Firmware 1.4 or higher, the viewLinc Aware Service
ensures vNet Devices are discovered automatically
(see “viewLinc Aware Service” on page
1). Refer to the
viewLinc User’s Guide to learn how to enable the
viewLinc Aware Service.
Before you start, ensure your firewall software settings are
adjusted, as described in the section, “Connecting to an external
power supply” on page 3.
