Discovering Sites
If your computer is on the same network segment (subnet) as a site, that site is automatically discovered and displayed in the System Explorer.
If the site you want to access is not listed, it is because the site is on a different subnet and must be manually discovered. There is no limit to the number of sites that can be discovered by the Client software.
Tip: After you discover and login to a parent site, all the child sites are automatically discovered.
By default, when a server is first connected to the system, it is added to a site with the same name. To locate a new server, you need to search for its site.
