CHAPTER 1

Introduction

Device Discovery is a utility used for locating and managing IP devices on a network. It consists of the Device Discovery Console and Device Discovery Service. The Device Discovery Console can discover devices in the local subnet, or connect to the Device Discovery Service to find devices on other subnets.

Note: Devices located on a different subnet may not be able to launch the device Web page or change IP address.

Functions

The Device Discovery Console can perform the following functions: • Discover device

• Ping device • Reboot device • Get version

• Check default password • Change IP

• Assign a range of IP addresses to devices

Supported Device Types

The following IP device types are supported:

• Access controllers (LNL-3300, LNL-2210, and LNL-2220) • Cameras

• Video recorders (goVision) • Device servers (Lantronix) • Access point devices (Lenel ILS)

(6)

Introduction

Supported Camera Types

The following camera types are supported: • Lenel

• Sony • IQEye

• Axis - new models, with the exception of first generation Axis models: 2100, 2110, 2120, 2130, 2401, 2411, 2420

• Panasonic - newer models support the ability for discovery for only 20 minutes after they are powered on. To work around this issue, restart the camera or configure the Network setup > Easy

IP Setup setting on the camera Web page. This setting is available with newer firmware versions.

Panasonic Camera Display Names

Some Panasonic cameras are displayed by their series number rather than their model number in the Device Discovery Console. These cameras will not display their camera model numbers, but instead they display the series of the camera. For example, the Panasonic NS954 is part of the WV-NS950 series and would be displayed as a Panasonic NS950. The following table provides a list of the Panasonic camera series and their display names. Refer to your manufacturer documentation to determine which series your camera belongs to.

Architecture

Architecture

The Device Discovery Console installation includes a “internal” discovery service used to discover devices on the local subnet. To discover devices on other subnets, the Device Discovery Service must be installed on each additional subnet that devices are located.

Introduction

User Interface

The Device Discovery Console user interface consists of three panes, Discovery Services, Device List, and Device Management.

Discovery Services Pane

The Discovery Services pane is located on the left side of the interface. It can be minimized by clicking the arrows on the Discovery Services title bar.This pane is used to add, modify, remove, import, and export services located in other subnets.

Device List Pane

The Device List pane is located in the center of the interface. It can be used to scan for devices, select devices for performing operations, or sort devices for easy viewing.

Device Management Pane

The Device Management pane is located on the right side of the interface, and consists of four accordion buttons: Status, CREDENTIALS, IP ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT, and DEVICE DETAILS. This pane is used to retrieve information from devices, set and change credentials, update IP address assignments, and view device information.

Installation

The Device Discovery Console and Service can be installed from the OnGuard disc. A custom installation is required to install either the Device Discovery Console or the Device Discovery Service. The Security Utility must be run after the Device Discovery utility is installed.

WinPcap

WinPcap is a required third-party component and must be installed manually from the Supplemental Materials disc.

Bonjour

Bonjour is a third-party protocol used to discover device services on a local area network. Bonjour is supported, but not required or installed with the Device Discovery utility. If Bonjour is installed, it will be used for device discovery.

CHAPTER 3

Managing Devices

Devices can be managed with the Device Discovery Console.

Device List

The device list provides a summary of the devices that have been discovered using the Device Discovery Console and any configured discovery services.

Grouping and Sorting Devices

The order of devices in the device list can be customized using the Group by and Sort by drop-downs. Devices can be grouped by brand, discovery service, device status, or device type. Groups can be expanded or collapsed for easier viewing by clicking the accordion buttons in the device list. The Sort by drop-down provides an order to the device list. Devices can be sorted by brand, model, version, command status, IP address and port, hardware address, discovery service, and device type.

Device Status

There are three device statuses that may be displayed in the Device List:

• Online, green circle icon - Device is powered on and has proper connection with the Device Discovery Console

• Offline, red square icon - Device is powered off or is not connected to the network

• Unknown, yellow triangle icon - Device is connected to the network, but with an incorrect IP address

Note: The Device Discovery Console considers an IP address incorrect if the network address is different than the IP address discovered by the Device Discovery Service.

(14)

Managing Devices

Command Status

As commands are performed on devices in the device list the Command Status display will be updated. If an error occurs, the status will be displayed in red. To view a tooltip with more information about the error, position the mouse over the error status in the device list.

Command Status Descriptions

• Get version succeeded - Displayed after a successful Get Version command.

• Credential invalid - Displayed when the device credentials are incorrect. The device default user credentials are attempted as items are discovered which results in a Credential invalid message for all devices that have changed the default password.

• Ping succeeded - Displayed after a successful Ping Device command.

• Credential changed - Displayed after credentials have been updated in the Device Discovery Console.

Device Procedures
