SConfigurator will use to detect Nextiva devices on the network. Contact

your system administrator to know which method your network supports.

Possible methods are:

Broadcast:Sending a message to all devices physically connected to the

same network as SConfigurator; it may not reach devices on other LANs.

The broadcast IP address is 255.255.255.255. (Default).

Multicast:Sending a message to a selected group of devices. With the

multicast method, SConfigurator can discover devices located across

multiple networks, but not through the Internet. The current multicast IP

address is 224.16.32.1 and should not be changed.

9. Click OK.

Discovering Devices

By default, the S1800e series devices are Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

(DHCP) enabled. Use SConfigurator to obtain the IP address of the encoder. If

you have a DHCP server, the encoder will automatically obtain a valid IP

configuration.

► To discover devices

1. Start SConfigurator.

2. Select the Units tab, then click Discover. The information displayed for the

will vary depending on whether your network is using a DHCP server or not.

In a DHCP environment, the Unit Name column in the Units box displays

the model name and a unique alpha-numeric value that corresponds to the

MAC address of the encoder.
