Locating Netio Products and Koukaam smart power solutions (like the legacy NETIO-230A) requires identifying their IP addresses on your local network. Because both brands share structural roots in smart power distribution units (PDUs), they rely on identical UDP broadcast and network scanning principles to be discovered.
You can locate this hardware using specialized manufacturer utilities, mobile applications, or general network scanners. 1. Dedicated Manufacturer Software (Recommended)
The most direct way to locate these units during initial installation is through the official discovery software.
NETIO Discover Utility: This is a dedicated desktop application available for Windows (.exe) and other operating systems via a Java version (.jar).
How it works: When launched, the software transmits a UDP broadcast across the local network interfaces. Any Netio or Koukaam PDU listening on the network will respond back with its current network profile. Key Features:
Displays the IP address and MAC address of all found hardware. Highlights newly discovered units in blue.
Allows you to click the MAC address to toggle between DHCP or configuring a fixed Static IP.
Includes a direct link on the IP address to launch the device’s web administration GUI in your browser.
You can download the desktop utility directly from the official NETIO Discover Software Page. 2. Using Mobile Apps
If you prefer managing the hardware from a smartphone, you can use mobile ecosystem tools.
NETIO Mobile 2 App: Available for Android, this application contains a built-in local network discovery feature.
How it works: Ensure your phone is connected to the exact same Wi-Fi SSID as the target PDU. Tap “Add Device” and select “Discover” to sweep the local subnet automatically. 3. General Network Scanners (Alternatives)
If the official utility fails to fetch the device due to network restrictions, you can use multi-purpose IT scanning software: www.netio-products.com NETIO Discover Utility
