Add New Blue Heat/Net
You can add a Blue Heat/Net by specifying the Blue Heat/Net’s IP address or MAC address.
If you specify an IP address, the Configuration Manager will connect to that specific Blue
Heat/Net and the configuration information for installation. If it cannot connect, it will not install
the unit. The Blue Heat/Net may get the IP address from DHCP server or it can be manually
fixed. The Configuration Manager will use 49152 as the default TCP port. This value is
configurable.
If you specify a MAC address (located on the underside of the device), the Configuration
Manager will use the auto-discover mechanism to retrieve the information for installation. The
auto-discover mechanism uses UDP broadcast, so the unit must be located on the local network
to install via MAC address. The Configuration Manager will use 49152 as the default UDP port.
This value is configurable.

Auto Discover Blue Heat/Net
The auto discover will broadcast a message to all the Blue Heat/Net devices on your network.
Upon receiving the broadcast packet, the Blue Heat/Net device will respond. Click the Auto
Discover button to search for Blue Heat/Net. The searching domain can be changed by checking
Use Specific Broadcast IP and entering an IP address domain in the IP address box. The
broadcast packet will use the default UDP port 49152, but it can be changed in the Blue
Heat/Net configuration. The Stop button will end the search.
