Steps for auto discovering devices on the network:
1.
Download and install N-Able.
2.
Attach devices to the managed network switch.
3.
Disable the wireless adapter on your computer (it must be hard-wired to the switch).

Auto discovery is a broadcast command and will discover all units even if they are not in the same
IP subnet. However, you will not be able to configure units until they are in the same subnet as the
host PC. N-Series devices are shipped in Auto-IP mode with a default IP address of
169.254.xxx.xxx. Before attempting configuration, some changes must be made to the host PC.
