DISCOVERY
When looking for devices using Broadcast, you may need to press the Broadcast button several times to ensure that all attached devices have responded. For nodes that do not respond to broadcast queries, use the Search function. In general, it may be necessary to search for devices not located in the same network with the EliteView management station.
