.
Choose to enable or disable successfully detected hardware and cameras. Detected hardware, such as
hardware device, camera, microphone and speaker is listed individually, allowing you to, for example, add a
hardware device's camera without enabling its speaker if needed.
You can change the name of the hardware by clicking
Hardware name
and choosing between:
o
[Hardware model] [address]
o
[Hardware model]
Additionally, you can change name of the device by clicking
Device name
and choosing between:
o
[Hardware name] - [Device type] [number]
o
[Device type] [number] on [hardware name]
o

A change of name for hardware and/or device will be applied to all available hardware/devices and will take
effect immediately.

Address Range Scanning
The
Address Range Scanning
option scans your network for relevant hardware devices based on your specifications
regarding required IP ranges, drivers, and device user names and passwords.
1. Select
Address Range Scanning
and click
Next
.
2. Specify user names and passwords if your hardware devices are not using the factory default user name and
password. You can add as many user names and passwords as required by clicking
Add
. Remember to
select the
Include
check box for each required device. You must add and include at least one user name and
password in order for the wizard to proceed.
When ready, click
Next
.
3. Select which drivers to use when scanning. By default, RC-E will use all known drivers. If your organization
only uses certain hardware devices and/or models, you can achieve faster scanning by selecting only the
drivers required for those hardware devices. Click
Next
.
Tip:
The list of drivers is typically very long, and by default all drivers are selected. With
Select All
and
Clear
All
, you can avoid having to select/clear all check boxes manually.
