The Digi Device Discovery Tool will figure out what it believes to be your Network Adapters IP Address and Submask, and if a Digi Unit on the network reports back with an IP address that does not seem to line up it will report the Unit as mis-configured. In the Example below the IP Address and Submask the PC is using is 10.4.110.1 and 255.255.255.0. When the Digi Device Discovery Tool sees the unit with a 192.168.1.12 IP address it will recognize the fact you can not communicate to it (as it is on a different network segment) and report back to you it is mis-configured. Please note that the utility will not report back mis-configured if, for instance, the serial ports on the device are not setup correctly in how you intend to use them, mis-configured only applies to the IP settings of the unit.
