Autodiscovery
The autodiscovery process allows you to easily add network devices without knowing their IP addresses. MegaVision polls each IP address within the given range and adds devices automatically. To start the autodiscovery process, select Autodiscovery from the Main Window menu Map item. Autodiscovery window opens.
