Device Discovery is a utility used for locating and managing IP devices on a network. It consists of
the Device Discovery Console and Device Discovery Service. The Device Discovery Console can
discover devices in the local subnet, or connect to the Device Discovery Service to find devices on
other subnets.
Note: Devices located on a different subnet may not be able to launch the device Web page or
change IP address.
Functions
The Device Discovery Console can perform the following functions:
• Discover device
• Ping device
• Reboot device
• Get version
• Check default password
• Change IP
• Assign a range of IP addresses to devices

Architecture
The Device Discovery Console installation includes a “internal” discovery service used to discover
devices on the local subnet. To discover devices on other subnets, the Device Discovery Service must
be installed on each additional subnet that devices are located.
User Interface
The Device Discovery Console user interface consists of three panes, Discovery Services, Device
List, and Device Management.
Installation
The Device Discovery Console and Service can be installed from the OnGuard disc. A custom
installation is required to install either the Device Discovery Console or the Device Discovery
Service. WinPcap is a required third-party component and will be installed along with the Device
Discovery Console and Service. WinPcap has a separate license agreement that will be displayed
during the installation.
IMPORTANT: The Security Utility must be run after the Device Discovery utility is installed.
Bonjour
Bonjour is a third-party protocol used to discover device services on a local area network. Bonjour is
supported, but not required or installed with the Device Discovery utility. If Bonjour is installed it
will be used for device discovery.
The Device Discovery Service is installed automatically with the Device Discovery Console to
discover devices on the local subnet. The Device Discovery Service can be installed on other subnets
to discover devices located on other subnets.
Note: Devices located on a different subnet may not be able to launch the device Web page or
change IP address.
Note: By default the user credentials for the Device Discovery Service are user name “lenel”
and password “lenel”. These credentials can be changed using the Service Credential
Management Tool. For more information, refer to Service Credential Management Tool
on page 10.

Device List
The device list provides a summary of the devices that have been discovered using the Device
Discovery Console and any configured discovery services.
The Sort by drop-down provides an order to the device list. Devices can be sorted by brand, model,
version, command status, IP address and port, hardware address, discovery service, and device type.
Device Status
There are three device statuses that may be displayed in the Device List:
• Online, green circle icon - Device is powered on and has proper connection with the Device
Discovery Console
• Offline, red square icon - Device is powered off or is not connected to the network
• Unknown, yellow triangle icon - Device is connected to the network, but with an incorrect IP
address
Note: The Device Discovery Console considers an IP address incorrect if the network address
is different than the IP address discovered by the Device Discovery Service.
Command Status
As commands are performed on devices in the device list the Command Status display will be
updated. If an error occurs, the status will be displayed in red. To view a tooltip with more
information about the error, position the mouse over the error status in the device list.
Device Procedures

Discovery Console will be reset to the default for that device type. To save device
credentials for later use, use the Export command on the CREDENTIALS panel. For
more information, refer to Export All Device Credentials on page 16.

Device Discovery Console to perform commands on the device.
Note: Device credentials are not automatically saved when the device list is cleared. To save
device credentials for later use, use the Export command on the CREDENTIALS panel.
For more information, refer to Export All Device Credentials on page 16.
1. Select the device from the device list.
2. Expand the CREDENTIALS panel by clicking on the accordion button.
