Device Discovery (Network)

the device discovery service scans the network and returns a list of devices it finds this allows you to easily find manufacturing connect edge devices and copy their ip addresses discovery is disabled on all interfaces by default you can enable it at any time once enabled, discovery scans all network addresses at one second intervals it may take time to scan an entire network scanning doesn't stop until it is disabled if a device is not recognized after ten minutes, it is removed from the list to search for devices that are specific to device protocols and drivers, use the device discovery tool docid 9iwanszfhjey9ytgr4f s important manufacturing connect edge enforces restrictions to prevent the following issues security alerts because discovery regularly scans the network, security systems (such as trojan detection systems) might flag this activity to avoid security warnings, network scans are limited to one second intervals, and devices are removed from the list after ten minutes of inactivity missing devices discovery only supports subnet / 24 networks to limit the number of nodes to discover this restriction prevents discovery from taking longer than ten minutes for each device access device discovery ui you can access device discovery from the devicehub to access device discovery log in to manufacturing connect edge from the navigation panel, navigate to devicehub > device discovery the device discovery pane appears listing all the ethernet interfaces
