USING DISCOVERY

Running the Discovery Application

3Com provides a user-friendly Discovery application for detecting the Switch on the network.

If your computers are configured with static addresses (also known as fixed addresses) and you do not wish to change this, then you should use the Discovery program on the Switch CD-ROM to detect and configure your Switch.

Windows Installation (95/98/XP/2000/2003 Server/NT)

1Insert the Switch CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive on your computer. A menu will appear; select Switch Discovery.

Discovery will find the Switch even if it is unconfigured or misconfigured.
