ARNet Discovery v2.16.0 provides a cleaner public Windows package, a refined product page, and documentation that helps engineers download, run, and evaluate the app with less guesswork.

What is included

• Portable Windows x64 package for ARNet Discovery.
• Single-EXE publish configuration where supported by .NET/WPF publishing.
• Quick Start PDF and User Manual PDF included in the release ZIP.
• Product landing page with screenshot preview, clear download path, and engineering-focused FAQ.

How to run

1. Download ARNetDiscovery-v2.16.0-win-x64-portable.zip from the release assets.
2. Extract the ZIP to a local folder.
3. Run ARNetDiscovery.exe.
4. Select the Ethernet adapter connected to the engineering LAN.
5. Use Scan Local, Probe, or Import Excel + Scan List.

No installer, subscription, license key, or Visual Studio installation is required for normal use.

Useful for

• FAT and SAT device visibility checks.
• Relay, IED, gateway, server, workstation, switch, meter, and printer IP verification.
• First-pass troubleshooting when expected devices do not appear on the engineering LAN.
• Exporting CSV evidence for project follow-up.

Known limitations

• Open ports and protocol labels are engineering evidence, not formal device identity proof.
• Network policy, VLANs, routing, firewall rules, and blocked ICMP can affect scan results.
• Formal commissioning, protection testing, and cyber-security procedures remain the final authority for project acceptance.
