# Discover Devices on the Network

Depending on the enterprise, Litmus Edge may become lost among the thousands of devices in the private network. You can use Litmus Edge with VGA/HDMI to discover devices. 

## Litmus Edge with VGA/HDMI

If the system is running normal Litmus Edge, it can be discovered using TUI (Terminal User Interface) access. Connect a monitor to the Litmus Edge IPC and the terminal shows the IP address of the device. See [Access the Terminal User Interface](docId\:R1Lz44wFFv3H9Jg33NWlP).
