model number, IP address and MAC address of each unit.To use the discovery tool, do the following:
1. Open a web browser and go to www.patton.com/SNDiscovery
. A list of SmartNode utilities displays.
Identify the SmartNode Discovery Tool item in the list. Click the Download link and agree to the ser-
vice terms to save the file to your PC.
2. At your PC, double-click the SNDiscovery.exe filename to activate the tool. The SmartNode Discovery
Tool window will display the IP Address, MAC Address, Device Type (model number) and Build (soft-
ware release) of your SN-DTA.
