Enter IP Browse Address (Advanced) dialog

Subnet

This option provides an efficient method, in terms of the network traffic it generates, for finding Students. By entering a target IP address and the subnet mask that you wish to browse, NetSupport School will send a broadcast packet to the specified network. When you subsequently perform the browse action, all Students found on the target subnet will be listed.

Address Range

This differs from the above option in that it provides a reliable method for finding a specific range of Students. It may generate additional network traffic due to individual packets being sent to each machine in the range but at least you are targeting the required Students.

Terminal Services

Use this option to find Students in a Terminal Server environment. Enter the IP address of the Terminal Server and the port range to browse.

Multicast

This option will only browse for Students using the specified IP multicast address; the default address is 225.2.2.2. This will reduce network traffic as the multicast packet is sent in a single transmission only to the required machines.
