Single Device Auto Discovery provides you with the ability to discover a single device from the Edit menu within a Network. This eliminates the need to access System Administration to manage newly deployed devices. You only have to enter the Management IP Address of the device to be discovered, complete the remaining options in the window and tabs, then Execute. The Scheduler Job window is bypassed for a Single Auto Discovery task.

While in the Devices view, you can select Edit from the menu bar, and then go to the Single Device Auto Discovery , to run an Auto Discovery job on a single Device.
