Lights-Out for Windows Server Solutions 2011/2012

You can add network devices automatically or add them manually. This section explains the difference and gives some background information
To add your network devices on your local network run a "Scan network for new devices" on the computers task pane.
This command will find all local attached network devices and add them automatically with IP-Address and MAC-Address to the list.
The MAC-Address is the physical address of a device and is used by Lights-Out to uniquely identify a device.
You can double click a device in the list or select "View device properties" to change device settings.
The automatic detection will fail when a device is located behind a bridge or a gateway.
In such a case the scan will always detect the bridge or gateway but not the device behind.
Do not use a gateway (or your router) for monitoring because these devices are always on.
To address the network device we have to add this device manually.
Manually adding a device
Note: A fixed IP-Address is required for your device! You can't use DHCP for devices behind a router or gateway.
Click on the "Add device with IP-Address" command to open a device dialog.
Enter a device name and the IP-Address
The device is now listed and can be added to monitoring.
