Device Discovery
The MST Device Scanner can be used to discover and change the IP address of ImPact devices from any
PC connected to the same network switch (i.e. the tool will not work if there is a router between the PC
and the device being scanned). Upon opening, the Device Scanner will automatically scan for devices.
To use the Device Scanner, navigate to the folder where the program is stored, and double click
devicescanner.exe .
The Device Scanner shows several columns of information for each discovered device:
• Name - The hostname of the device. For the WAP, the default name is
MST PoE Access Point
.
• IP Address - This can be set remotely on the device, in Settings > LAN > LAN Settings , or from
the Device Scanner (see below).
• Type - The device type or model.
• MAC Address - The MAC address of the device.
•
Interface
- The network interface via which the Device Scanner is communicating with the device.
•
ID
- The serial number on the device housing.
• Firmware - The version number of the firmware running in the device.
• Status - The uptime of the device. This can be used to easily determine which devices have recently
been connected to the network.
•
Revision
- The hardware revision of the main processor PCB (not the overall product version).
To discover devices after the program has been opened, click the Scan button. To allow the Device Scanner
to continually check for new devices, tick the Continuous checkbox.
To change the IP address or settings of a device, highlight the row, then click the Configure IP button.
This will open a dialogue box allowing you to set the device to
Obtain an IP address automatically
using DHCP, or to manually set an IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway with the Use the
following IP address option.
