WinDiscovery Installation and Operation
Using WinDiscovery
Open WinDiscovery from the “Start Menu” or by double-clicking the shortcut icon on the desktop.
Once you click [Discover], shown below, all network clocks accessible on the network will announce
their presence and the status bar will display the count of devices found. When complete, a list of
device families and groups will be displayed in the left pane of the WinDiscovery window. RC500 will
be displayed along with any other devices that are on the network
.
Click [Discover] to view NTP devices on your network.
Each clock is configured with a device name from the factory. This name includes the model name and a
“MAC address” (Media Access Control) extension. You can change the device name to one convenient for
your site – preferably one that helps you to later identify the exact physical location of the device.
It is highly recommended that only one user uses WinDiscovery at a time and other methods
should not be used to manage the network clocks while using the WinDiscovery software
application.
