SCN Management Mode - with multiple subnets 2

[MandyDroid]

I am trying to get to use the SCN management mode. My problem is that I have 4 control units in different subnets so I cannot figure out how to get the discovery to9 work for multiple subnets. Can anyone help me figure this out... I have tried from within manager File -> Preferences -> SCN Discovery - but it keeps seeming like if they are not in the same subnet and MICR as my NIC then I cannot access more then one control unit at a time. Has anyone else run into this and am I just trying to make gold out of coal?

Open Manager and go to File -> Preferences -> Discovery -> IP Search Criteria.
Enter all four system IP addresses separated with a ;
Select the SCN Discovery and press OK and open the config.

This should do the trick.

I keep adding the list and it shows when no NIC is selected. When a NIC is selected it only shows the subnet that NIC exists in. I select the NIC and then add the IP Office IP list and it changes back to just the subnet. What am I doing wrong?

Use the bottom field, not the top field.
Then it will work.

I found it!!!!!

In the open Config window I had the Unit/Broadcast Address was set to only one of the IPs. I than considered changing it to a broadcast address of 255.255.255.255 which is default and was only changed by me in the first place. The TCP Discovery then found all units that are online!

Thanks for directing me to where I was already - but verifying it should work and causing me to change the Unit/Broadcast Address - I do feel that this has been a great learning experience.. I really don't like having things handed to me - this way I feel I did something good!

Also have a look at the Known Systems list feature (in the Manager help).

Stuck in a never ending cycle of file copying.

sizbut - thanks for the extra tip for accessing multiple IP Office control units via manager. This feature could reduce my VPN traffic during discovery. Thanks to all!!!
