Advantages of the Digi Device Discovery utility are:
 It quickly locates Digi devices and basic device information, such as the device address,
firmware revision, and whether it has been configured.
 ADDP runs on any operating system that can send multicast IP packets to a network. It sends
out a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) multicast packet to all devices on the network. Devices
supporting ADDP reply to this UDP multicast with their configuration information. Even
devices that do not yet have an IP address assigned or are misconfigured for the subnet can
reply to the UDP multicast packet and be displayed in device discovery results.
Disadvantages include:
 Device discovery responses can be blocked by personal firewalls, Virtual Private Network
(VPN) software, and certain network equipment. Firewalls will block UDP ports 2362 and
2363 that ADDP uses to discover devices.
 Not all Digi devices support ADDP.
Digi Device Discovery is available on the Digi device Software and Documentation CD. After
installation, it is available from the Start menu. Access to the ADDP service can be enabled or
disabled, but the network port number for ADDP cannot be changed from its default.
