Discovering Instruments on the Network Using Windows
Clients may execute the UDP Anritsu Discovery program on their PC to discover instruments on the same subnet as the PC. The program prints out a list of instruments with information such as the instrument host name, firmware version, MAC address, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The discovery program is available from: http://www.anritsu.com/en-US/test-measurement/support/downloads/software/dwl011065
1. To start the discovery program, run the downloadable “RunDiscoveryProgram.bat” file.

2. Select a filtering method. Since there could be many instruments already connected to the network, a selection filter can be used to narrow the search results. The search filter has four options:
• (M)ac – Mac Address of the probe
• (S)erial – Serial number of the probe
• (H)ostname – Host name of the probe
• (N)one – No filters selected. All instruments attached to the local area network will be listed.
3. If M, S, or H was selected in Step 2, enter a search string. The search query term is not case sensitive. The search string can be a partial match or a full match to the MAC address, serial number, or host name. For example, selecting “S” and entering “0000003” will search for the instrument with serial number 0000003.
4. The program will start listing all instruments connected on the same subnetwork that match the search criteria.
