Discovery Tool
The Barix Discovery Tool is a Java application to find your Barix Devices on the local network. It helps you identify the IP-Address of any Barix Device based on their MAC-Address, which you can find on the backside of the device. It can even find devices when they have no or wrong IP address settings and allows even to set the IP address.

- make sure Windows firewall does not block traffic (UDP port 30718)
