Digi Navigator device discovery process

When the Digi Navigator is launched, it discovers Digi devices that are on your local network and that also support device discovery. A list of the discovered Digi devices are displayed by default in the Digi Navigator.

If a Digi device is not on the same network as your computer or the device is not discoverable, the device is not automatically displayed in the Digi Navigator. You can manually add a device's IP address to a list of known devices, and after it has been added, it also displays in the Digi Navigator.

The table below describe different methods for discovering devices.

Method Description

Device supports Digi Navigator discovery

When the Digi Navigator is launched, all discoverable devices are displayed in the application screen. These include devices that are on the same network as your computer and the network has a DHCP server, or devices that have a static IP address.

The Digi Navigator uses the HTTPS service by default to discover devices to your network. Other services can be used.

Device cannot be discovered by Digi Navigator

If a device is not on the same network as your computer or the device is not discoverable, you can manually add the device's IP address to a list of known devices.

Device supports Digi Navigator discovery, but a DHCP server is not on the network

If the device is directly connected to a computer or connected to a network with no DHCP server, there are two options available to connect to the device:

Note If you use either of these IP addresses to connect to the device for initial configuration, you should then set a unique IP address for the device that is appropriate for the network on which it will be deployed.
