Setting a Temporary IP Address in the Gateway
Important:
ProSoft Discovery Service locates the gateway through UDP broadcast messages.
These messages may be blocked by routers or layer 3 switches. In that case, ProSoft Discovery
Service is unable to locate the gateways.
To use ProSoft Discovery Service, arrange the Ethernet connection so that there is no router/layer
3 switch between the computer and the gateway OR reconfigure the router/layer 3 switch to allow
the routing of the UDP broadcast messages.
1 If you have not installed the ProSoft Discovery Service, refer to Installing the
ProSoft Discovery Service on page 14.
