Rediscovering a group

To rediscover all devices in a group, complete the following steps.

1.Select the IP tab.

2.Select the group you want to rediscover in the Product List. You can select one group at a time.

3.Click Rediscover on the Product List toolbar.

The Rediscover product dialog box displays. If you selected more than 10 devices, the client only sends the first 10 devices to the server. When rediscovery is complete on the first device and the server returns the status to the client, the client sends the next device to the server. This process continues until rediscovery is complete.

The Rediscover product dialog box displays the progress status for each product in the Progress Status column. If an error occurs the status displays as ‘Failed” and an error message displays in the Description column.

Click Abort to stop rediscovery for any pending devices. Note that rediscovery continues for all devices already sent to the server. The Rediscover product dialog box closes when rediscovery is complete for the active rediscovery devices.

4.Click OK on the Rediscover product dialog box when rediscovery completes.
