Port:
Port number(s) on which to scan. Default is port 80. If your hardware devices are located behind a
NAT-enabled router or a firewall, you may need to specify a different port number. When this is the case,
also remember to configure the router/firewall so it maps the port and IP addresses used by the
hardware devices.
You can add as many network ranges as needed by clicking

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