The Device Discovery task
The Device Discovery task can be selected from either the All Tasks list or by clicking Actions Device Discovery from the menus.
You can use a "0" (zero) or asterisk (*) as a wildcard character to performing a device discovery based on a network subnet. To stop a device discovery once it has started, click Stop Discovery.
For a more in depth look at discovering devices, see Using the Device Discovery task.
The Quick Find task
The Quick Find task is capable of initially discovering devices and filtering a device search for previously discovered devices.
While searching by TCP/IP address, multiple devices can be discovered using a wildcard variable when typing in the criteria for the TCP/IP address. You can use a zero (0) or asterisk (*) as a wildcard character when performing a Quick Find based on a network subnet. For example, in order to find all the printers on the 122 subnet, the user would type in the address value 138.188.122.0. This would find devices with IP addresses of 138.188.122.2, 138.188.122.3, 138.188.122.4, etc.
Note: If you enter a TCP/IP address, MarkVision Professional will first check the list of devices already discovered. If the address is not in the list, MarkVision Professional will initiate a device discovery to find it.
Note: IPX discoveries can only be performed using the Device Discovery task.
