3.2 SEARCHING FOR DEVICE SERVERS OVER A LAN
The Broadcast Search function is used to locate all NPort 5400 device servers that are connected
to the same LAN as your computer. Since the Broadcast Search function searches by MAC
address and not IP address, all NPorts connected to the LAN will be located, regardless of whether
or not they are part of the same subnet as the host.
In NPort Administrator, click Search to search your LAN for NPort device servers. When your unit
appears in the search results, you may click Stop to end the search. You may also wait a few more
moments for the search to complete.
