Driver; furthermore, setup files can also be imported and exported here.

Auto Detect area

The Auto Detect area is used to setup automatic detection of units that are 
connected and capable of communication with the DME-N Network 
Driver. In specific terms, a maximum of 254 addresses (***.***.***.1 
through***.***.***.254) can be detected.

Note: 

Only the MAC addresses of units on the same subnet as the computer can 

be detected. Before searching for MAC addresses, therefore, ensure that 
the computer is connected to the subnet to be searched and that an 
appropriate IP address has been assigned.
