How To Discover Room Alert Devices With Link

Room Alert Link can discover these types of Room Alert Monitors: Room Alert 32S, 12S, 3S, 32E/W, 12E, 4E, 3E and 3W.

Discovery Through Room Alert LinkView Discovered Devices In Your Room Alert Account

Room Alert Link scans your network in the following ways:

  • Automatic discovery with a UDP broadcast on UPD Port 30718.
  • Manual discovery with a unicast UDP scan on UDP Port 30718.

For more information about these types of discovery, please see the tabs below.

Room Alert Link displays all discovered devices in its Dashboard, as shown here:

Automatic Discovery With Room Alert Link

Room Alert Link runs in the background as a Windows service even when you don’t have it open in your browser. By default, it scans your network every 15 seconds using a broadcast on UDP Port 30718.

If your Room Alert Monitor is not automatically discovered by Link, we first recommend checking that UDP port 30718 is open between the device and Link. For more information, please see List Of Ports Required By Room Alert Products.

If Link still does not automatically discover your Room Alert Monitor, follow the instructions in the next section to manually discover the device.

Manual Discovery With Room Alert Link

If your Room Alert Monitor is not automatically discovered by Link, you can try manually discovering the device by scanning its IP address or a range of IP addresses.

Please follow these instructions to manually discover your device:

  1. First open Link’s web interface by following the instructions in our FAQ, How To Access Link’s Local Web Interface.
  2. In Link’s interface, select the Settings button in the upper right corner of the page.
  3. This will open Link’s Discovery Settings page.
  4. Here, you may choose to scan a single IP address or a range of IP addresses.
    • To scan a single IP address, enter it in the Enter an IP Address field. Then select the + button.
    • To scan an IP range, enter the first IP address of the range and the last IP address of the range. Then select the + button.
  5. Then select Save Changes at the top or bottom of the screen.
