# Discover Misconfigured Devices

The Discover Misconfigured Devices option is used to identify devices that are present on the same physical network, but are not configured for the same logical subnet as the PC running the software.

For example, the device is on the physical network, but not on the logical subnet. This can occur when the device address is set to a static IP address off of the subnet. In this type of scenario, the IP address of the PC running the software could be 10.28.96.5 with a subnet mask of 255.255.224.0, while the device has a static IP address of 10.28.95.5 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

In this event, you can use the Discover Misconfigured Devices option to identify the device. After that, correct the misconfiguration before continuing with the use of the device.

Misconfigured devices are indicated in the In-Sight® Device Pane with the following graphic:
