What happens during an IP polling should be clear. The system pings all addresses of one or more specified IP ranges systematically. If something answers the sender will be included in the pool of unassociated computers. Depending on the selected search model, you can search for all replying PCs, all replying PCs with running Lan-Inspector agent, or simply include everything that replies a ping. This includes other network objects such as network printers etc. All objects that don’t seem to use a Windows operating system appear as “OB_IP_Address” while “IP_Address” ist the pinged address of the object.
