Set up and Manage Discoveries

If authorised, go to Customer Management, then Monitors and select the monitor where you wish to set up or edit the discovery IP's or ranges.

Select the Discovery Ranges tab to show current discoveries (this may be empty).

To add a discovery, click Add/Import. Either use the drop down to supply a predefined zone name or enter the location of the devices (for example, Top Floor)/ Enter the range as x.x.x. <start IP octet>, then provide the <end IP octet> and click Create Discovery Ranges.

Import Discoveries

A file or IP address/ranges can be imported using the following rules:

For example:

Zone1, 192.168.0.1,254 – search full range (1-254)

Zone2, 192.168.10.1,100 – search full range (1-100)

Zone2, 192.168.10.200,200 – add single device at .200
