If the box next to “Delete all devices in the existing list” is checked, the discovery 
process will replace all of the devices in your current database with the new 
devices it discovers. If unchecked, the discovery process will add newly discovered 
devices to the current database.
Click OK to start the discovery process.
The device discovery tool will return the following information from the IntelliJacks 
on your network:
• IP address
• MAC address
• Subnet address
• Group name
• Location information
• Firmware version
You can sort this information in ascending or descending order.
NOTE:  Discovered devices are automatically added to the default database. 
This default database will open automatically when you launch the Central 
Configuration Manager. If you like, you can keep several database files, each 
with its own list of devices. For example, you may want a separate database for 
each subnet you manage. To save a database file or open another database file, 
select the Open Database or Save Database As option from the File menu.
