Adding and Discovering Devices
When SMARTsend is first installed, you must configure it for use by adding one or more devices. This can
be accomplished by using the automated device discovery features provided by SMARTsend, or by
manually entering the individual IP Addresses or Host Names of the devices you want to use with
SMARTsend. Keep in mind that SMARTsend uses SNMP broadcast to discover Xerox Multifunction
Devices that are capable of supporting network scanning, and the discovery process may take considerable
time on large networks with many devices. Therefore, manual entry of IP Addresses or Host Names may be
faster under some conditions.

CAUTION:
SMARTsend discovery locates Xerox Multifunction Devices that are capable of supporting
network scanning, but it does not confirm that each device is properly configured for network scanning. To
avoid problems, please confirm that each device to be used with SMARTsend is properly configured before
you add a device to SMARTsend. See Device Communication and Configuration Issues on page 7-6 for
additional information.

The following options enable you to discover and configure devices for use with
SMARTsend:
SMARTsend:
Enter Host Names or IP Addresses (Add Devices panel)—This feature provides a direct method of
adding specific devices to the Xerox Multifunction Devices list. Simply enter the Host Names or IP
addresses of the device and then click the Add To List button. To enter multiple devices, use a
semicolon to separate each entry. This option may be preferable on larger networks where the
automated discovery process can take a considerable amount of time.

Discover Now (Add Devices panel)—This feature provides an automated method of locating Xerox
Multifunction Devices that are capable of supporting network scanning. By default, SMARTsend
searches only in the local subnet. Any devices found during this discovery will be displayed in the
Xerox Multifunction Devices list.

Devices that have been manually added to the Xerox Multifunction Devices list are never
removed via automated cleanup. The user must explicitly delete the device in order to remove it from
the list. See Deleting Devices on page 4-14 for more information.

Automated discovery is only initiated via the Discover Now button. When the Discover Now
button is clicked, devices that respond to the SNMP broadcast issued on the local subnet and any
additional user subnets with the SNMP credentials entered on the Configure Discovery Settings -
SNMP Credentials page are added or updated in the Xerox Mulifunction Devices list. Any device that
was previously discovered automatically and has not been discovered within the last 24 hours will be
removed from the list.
