NPort IA5150/5250 Series User’s Manual Configuring NPort Administrator
6-6
Broadcast Search
The Broadcast Search function is used to locate all NPort IA5150/5250s that are connected to the
same LAN as your computer. Since the Broadcast Search function searches by MAC address and
not IP address, all NPort IA5150/5250s connected to the LAN will be located, regardless of
whether or not they are part of the same subnet as the host.
1. Position the cursor in the right middle section of the Administrator window and then click the
right mouse button.
2. The Broadcast Search window will open and display the Model, IP Address, MAC Address,
and Progress of the search for that particular device.
3. When the search is complete, the Broadcast Search window will close, and the NPort
IA5150/5250s that were located will be displayed in the right pane of the Administrator
window. If you found more than one server connected to this network, refer to the MAC
address sticker on your server(s) to determine which server(s) are the ones you wish to
configure. To configure an NPort IA5150/5250, place the cursor over the row displaying that
NPort IA5150/5250’s information, and then double click the left mouse button.
