Digi Navigator device discovery process
When the Digi Navigator is installed or launched, it discovers Digi devices that are on your local
network and that also support device discovery. A list of the discovered Digi devices are displayed by
default in the Digi Navigator.
If a Digi device is not on the same network as your computer or the device is undiscoverable, the
device is not displayed in the Digi Navigator. You can add the device using that device's IPaddress,
and after it has been added, it also displays in the Digi Navigator.
The sections below describe different scenarios for discovering devices.
Device supports Digi Navigator discovery
When the Digi Navigator is launched, all discoverable devices are displayed in the application screen.
These include devices that are on the same network as your computer and the network has a
DHCPserver, or devices that have a static IPaddress.
The Digi Navigator uses the HTTPS service by default to discover devices to your network. Other
services can be used. See Services used to discover a device when connected to a network.
Device cannot be discovered by Digi Navigator
If a device is not on the same network as your computer or the device is undiscoverable, you can
manually add the device using that device's IPaddress. See Specify the IP address to discover a Digi
device.
Device supports Digi Navigator discovery, but a DHCPserver is not on the network
If the device is directly connected to a computer or connected to a network with no DHCP server,
there are two options available to connect to the device:
n 192.168.210.1: A set up address that is available in the OS. See Assign a generic IP address to
the device.
n 169.254.100.100: An auto-IP address available in the OS. See Use the autodiscovery protocol
to discover a device.
Note If you use either of these IP addresses to connect to the device for initial config, you should then
set a unique IP address for the device that is appropriate for the network on which it will be deployed.
Services used to discover a device when connected to a network
To discover the IPaddress for a Digi device connected to your network, the Digi Navigator uses the
HTTPS service by default. Other services can be used, if needed.
