easily discovered via the Ethernet network without any knowledge of the IP address or default
network configuration of the device.
The two methods supported are:
1.
Accessing the PremierWave XN Device Using UPnP
2.
Accessing the PremierWave XN Device Using DeviceInstaller
Accessing the PremierWave XN Device Using UPnP
This section covers the steps for locating a PremierWave XN unit and viewing its properties and
device details using UPnP (Network Discovery). You may also use the DeviceInstaller utility to
discover PremierWave XN units. See

.
The PremierWave XN units can be discovered automatically from Microsoft Windows® platforms
using UPnP (Network Discovery). UPnP enables devices to be discovered and a refreshed list of
devices available under "Network Places" within Windows Explorer as devices come online or go
offline.
Using the operations described below, it becomes a "plug and play" mechanism to reach the
device's Web UI (Web Manager) and complete the rest of the configuration.
Note:
There is no new software to install as UPnP support is built-into Windows
operating systems, however it must be enabled on the Windows PC. Please see notes on
enabling UPnP (Network Discovery) on Windows XP and Windows 7 operating systems.
