Broadcast Search
The Broadcast Search function is used to locate all NETRS2321P devices that are
connected to the same LAN as your computer. Since the Broadcast Search function
searches by MAC address and not IP address, all NETRS2321P connected to the LAN
will be located, regardless of whether or not they are part of the same subnet as
the host.
NOTE: Broadcast packet packets are not passed through a router. The VCom utility can
only be used to monitor devices in the same segment of the LAN.
Web Console Operation
Enter the IP address you have set for the NETRS2321P device into your web browser
address bar (default IP: 10.1.1.1) and you will prompted to login with your user ID and
password (Default: admin/admin).
After a successful login, you will see Administrator, TCP Mode, UDP Mode, UART, and
Reset Device selections in left frame of the web console.
See the full manual at www.StarTech.com/NETRS2321P for a detailed explanation of
web console functions.

(outlined in Installation section), all NETRS2321P devices on the LAN should appear in
