Broadcast packets sometimes cannot be sent using 255.255.255.255 depending on the OS settings, etc. If the IP address of the device (MFP) to register is already known, register that address without performing a search.
If the IP address (MFP) is not known, search by a broadcast address that targets only inside the subnet of the network where the PC is connected. The broadcast address to specify in this instance can be obtained by the following method. When the device has multiple NICs, specify the broadcast address of the interface to which the target device (MFP) is connected.
