What does an Unknown Device Type entry under the Live folder mean?
An “Unknown Device Type” indicates that Drag Net was able to find the device during its polling operation, but was unable to fully communicate with it to retrieve specific information (type, name). Since polling is a broadcast operation, it is likely that the device’s IP address falls outside of your computer’s subnet mask. Example (you can access this information using the Configure Hardware IP application, or from the Windows Network configuration dialog): • Your PC’s address is set to 192.168.48.100 • Your PC’s subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0 In this case you will be able to communicate with any Live unit that has an IP address of 192.168.48.xxx (where xxx is 1 through 254) . The trick is the ‘0’ in the last field of the subnet mask setting. If this value is set to something other than ‘0’ (which is a common thing to do, e.g., to divide a company LAN into smaller LANs), then you will not be able to talk to all Live units, even though the IP addresses seem to match.
