Auto Discovery

The innovative Auto Discovery feature provides quick, instant agent search function. If this option is enabled, the system will automatically search for the available agents and add them into agent list without manually key-in each agent IP address.

To setup the Auto Discovery option, please follow the steps below:

Step 1: Open the Module Configuration page. Use the Module Name pull-down menu to select the Auto Discovery option.

Step 2: Double-click on the Current Value field of the IP scan range to open the Auto Discovery dialog box.

Step 3: Enter a range of IP addresses by entering the start and end addresses in the dialog box. You may modify an existing IP range by clicking the Modify button or delete an existing IP range by clicking the Delete button. Click on the Cancel button to cancel any action you made in the Auto Discovery dialog box and return to the Auto Discovery main screen.

Step 4: Click the Configure button to add the new IP range.

Step 5: Click the Finish button to close this dialog box and return to the Auto Discovery option main screen.

Step 6: Double-click on the Current Value field of the Rescan time row to modify a time frame in minute that you like the system to scan the network.

Step 7: You may turn this option on and off by double-clicking on the Current Value field of the Status row or click on the On/Off switch button to enable the option.

Once the Auto Discovery option is successfully configured, the system will detect the IP range that you designated, and automatically add the search results into the agent list. An Auto Discovery Notice window will prompt, you may click OK button to close the window and start using Configuration Client and the Manager main program.

If you open the Root Agent setting option under the module configuration window, an available agent list will be shown in the lower section of the Configuration Client user interface.

When you start up the Manager main program next time, the program will automatically show the available subsystems that were detected by the Auto Discovery option in the Agent List window.

In the Manager main program, if you like to start an auto discovery, click System on the outer shell window command menu and then select Auto Discovery command. The system will start checking your network. To see the search result, open the Agent List window. While the system is checking the network, the Auto Discovery command will be greyed out with a checked mark in front. Once the system finishes checking the network, the Auto Discovery command will be available again.

Note:

1. The auto discovery default rescan time is set to 0 minute that indicates the system will scan the network only when the Configuration Client is starting up. The Auto Discovery option will be turned off after the first scan.

2. If you already have the Auto Discovery option turned on, be sure to turn off and then turn on the option for any adjustments that you newly made to take effect.
