Performing a Manual Device Discovery
The Device Discovery’s manual mode allows you to focus your device search by limiting the
search to particular port and IP limits. The search begins scanning for devices from the port
number specified and then each sequential port up as specified by the Ports to Scan value.
It is recommended that you use the manual method if you are wanting to configure a
particular Vertigo device and you know roughly, or even exactly, where the device is located
on the network using its port and IP address information.
To perform a manual device discovery:
1.
Open the Device Discovery tool by selecting T OOLS > S ETTINGS > D EVICE D ISCOVERY .
2. Set the D EVICE D ISCOVERY METHOD in the device discovery tool.
a. Select the M ANUAL Discovery Method.
b. Set the S TARTING P ORT parameter by typing in the port number that you suspect
the device to be using for the Vertigo device.
c. Set the P ORTS T O S CAN parameter.
d. Verify that the appropriate IP address appears in the IP Information list (see IP
I NFORMATION in the table above).
If the desired IP address does not exist, type the IP address digits in the A DD text
box and click the A DD button. Be sure to pay close attention to the dot separators
when typing the IP Address.
e. Click OK.
3. Start the device discovery process by clicking the R EFRESH button .
Dashboard will start scanning the specified IP addresses and ports for any available
Vertigo devices. Dashboard then automatically updates the Device List.
