Device Discovery Test
After a successful autolink, the instrument performs
active discovery, searching for APs and network devices.

possible problems.
The Device Discovery test lets you know what devices the
instrument sees on your network. As devices are
discovered, they are automatically added to the
instrument’s discovery database.
