When WallNet Assistant starts, it looks for all Planar device servers on the network
and lists them in the window.
• Each Planar device found on the local network is listed with its name, IP
address, date and time.
• New device servers just out of the box are listed with default names. The date
and time shown are from the device’s own clock. Both of these can be
changed later.
• WallNet Assistant uses a very simple broadcast protocol to discover Planar
device servers on the local network. Most networks do not route broadcast
packets, so it is very possible to have properly configured, reachable devices
on your network that WallNet Assistant won’t find. Consult with your network
administrator if you are having trouble using WallNet Assistant to find Planar
devices. Also see the information about the Route Add Command at the end
of this section if you are trying to find a device at the factory static IP address.

You can double-click any Planar device server in the list to open your default
browser pointed at that device.
