Discover devices

Device credentials

During the initial setup of your Gateway, you specify credentials to communicate with the SNMPv1, SNMPv3, NetBotz, Redfish, or Modbus devices you want to discover. To modify these settings later, go to Settings > Device credentials.

EcoStruxure IT Gateway versions older than 1.15 do not allow discovery of SNMPv3 devices with the Authentication type or the Encryption type set to None. 

Discover devices

To discover devices after the initial setup of your Gateway, go to Discover devices. During device discovery, the Gateway uses all the communication settings you configured. If you prefer, you can use only one of the settings for a discovery.

To discover devices, specify the IP addresses or address range of the devices, or import a device list. 
Note: You cannot import a device list for serial Modbus discoveries.

Check out the on-screen device discovery tips.

Discovery results are displayed including discovered devices and unsupported devices that were not discovered. You can view details about unsupported devices, and see discovery results in the discovery log.

If you find that one or more of your devices is not supported, you can request device support here.

All discovered devices are listed on the Devices page.
