Click Device Discovery.
The Device Discovery dialog box appears.
Device Discovery option- Select only one of the following fields to use for discovering the device.
- Discovery Server URL (Servers and Endpoints Discovery): No prior setup/configuration is needed to use this field. Replace localhost with the appropriate IP address or domain name that will be used to search for the device. Ensure the correct port number is entered.
- Server URL (Endpoints Discovery): You'll need to enable/configure the server to use this field. Replace localhost with the appropriate IP address or domain name that will be used to search for the device. Ensure the correct port number is entered.
- Delete all text from the field not being used.
- Click Start discovery. When the search is complete, available servers with corresponding security policies will be listed.
- Click the appropriate server/security policy, and then click Update form with discovery results. The Connect Device dialog box appears with Server URL, Security Policy, and Security Mode pre-filled based on the discovery results.
