Finding Clients by Searching a Network Range
To locate computers by network range, you provide a beginning and ending IP address
to scan, and Apple Remote Desktop queries each IP address between them in
sequence, asking if the computer is a client computer. This method is best when
searching for clients outside the local subnet, but on the local area network.
To search a range of network addresses:
1 Select a scanner at the left of the Remote Desktop window.
2 Select Network Range.
3 Enter the beginning and ending IP address.
4 Click the Scan button.
All responding clients are listed in the Remote Desktop window.
5 Select the desired computers.
6 Drag the selected computers to the Master List.
7 Authenticate by providing a login name and password for an ARD enabled
administrator.
The computer is now in your Master List.

If you know the exact IP address or fully qualified domain name of a computer, you can
use that IP address or domain name to add it to your Master List.
To search for a specific address:
1 Select a scanner at the left of the Remote Desktop window.
2 Select Network Address.
3 Enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name in the Address field.
