WinDiscovery
The WinDiscovery (WD) program is a Windows OS based program supplied with the NTP100. WinDiscovery is supported
under Windows 98se/Me/NT , and 2000/XP operating systems. To install the WinDiscovery program on your
server/workstation/PC, complete the following steps:
1. Insert the software distribution diskette that shipped with your NTP100.
2. Run the ‘setup.exe’ application from the diskette.
3. By default, the setup utility will suggest installing files to C:\Program Files\WinDiscovery. (Another path may be
selected if desired.)
4. Press the
Unzip
button to unpack the files to the specified location.
5. Optional: create a shortcut to the ‘windiscovery.exe’ application in your Start Menu or on the Desktop.
Potential Communication Problems
Networks separated by physical routers will often block UDP broadcasts preventing WinDiscovery from locating
devices on a remote network. Under such circumstances, WinDiscovery must be operated from a computer within the
remote network or routers separating the networks must be configured to pass through (both directions) UDP traffic
(including broadcasts) on port 6163.
Personal computer firewall applications, such as ZoneAlarm©, may also prevent WinDiscovery from operating
correctly. Configure the firewall to allow bi-direction UDP traffic on port 6163 or temporarily disable the firewall
while using the WinDiscovery application.
Using WinDiscovery
Open the WD program by clicking the shortcut on your desktop (or other fashion dictated by your installation). Only
one user should be using WD at a time, and other methods should not be used to manage the NTP100 while using WD.
Click the Discover button on the lower left of the screen. All Masterclock, Inc. network appliances accessible on the
network will announce their presence. The real-time 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 WD window. The NTP100 is a member of
the Masterclock, Inc. NTP Server family. Click on the plus [+] sign to the left of any family or group to open and view
device types that were found.
Clicking on any device group will list in the right pane of the WD window all devices of that type found. Only the
devices shown in the right window can be managed. To configure another device group, click on the device name in the
left window and the device names will then appear in the right window, ready to be managed.
