If you are unable to discover a device

Try the following if you are unable to discover a new device you have just added to your system
description.

In the discover devices window, click the

Rescan

button to refresh the list of discovered devices

Check if the ProductFrame Discovery Agent service is running on the device.

If you have previously discovered and configured a device

Use the following information if you are having problems with a device that you have previously
discovered and for which you have successfully configured network properties.

SiteConfig should re-discover the device at application startup and display a green or yellow overlay
icon over the device icon in the tree or on the control network interface. If SiteConfig does not
display these overlay icons, it indicates a problem.

Try pinging the device

The ping dialog indicates success or failure. If it fails to ping, check if the device is online and
if network connectivity to the control network is functional.

Open the discover devices window and check the

Show currently assigned devices

checkbox and

then click the

Rescan

button.

SiteConfig attempts to rediscover all devices and you should see the missing device appear in
the list if this is successful.

Check if the ProductFrame Discovery Agent service is running on the device. Restart the service
and try rescanning.
