10.8 Find devices in the network
All ADAMCZEWSKI units present in the local network can be accessed by means of
the auxiliary programme
Find NETWORK-DEVICE
can be identified. This is nec-
essary if the DHCP function has been set on a unit and the unknown IP address must
be determined.
The programme package can be downloaded from the website:
https://www.adamczewski.com/media/find-network-device.zip
After unpacking the file and calling
setup.exe
, the programme is installed. In the
process, confirm the required permissions in the firewall messages. The programme
Find NETWORK-DEVICE
requires network access.
When the programme is started, the unit messages of all units found are listed in a
window. A unit message contains the unit name with the associated MAC address. In
the following line, the link to the accessibility of the found units appears. In this way,
the units can be localised in connection with their MAC address, which is also located
on the unit.
