ADDING A SITE WITH AN UNKNOWN IP ADDRESS

This section describes how to add a site with an unknown IP address. To be successful, the following stipulations must be satisfied:

•Each HVR must be attached to the same subnet.

•The first three octets of the IP address of the subnet must be known.

•The range of addresses used in the last octet of the subnet must be known.

NOTE: The DX8100 scan process running on the computer takes much longer than the scan process does running on the DX8100 server.

To add a remote HVR site to the Connection List when you do not know the IP address of the site:

1.On the DX8100 toolbar, click the Connection List button . The Connection List dialog box opens.

2.Click DX8100 Scan. The DX8100 Scan dialog box opens.

3.Enter an IP address range to search for HVR sites.

b.Enter the beginning value for the search range in the fourth octet; for example, 001.

c.Enter the final value for the search range in the box provided; for example, 254. Each octet of the IP address must be an integer between 1 and 255.
