Gefen Discovery Tool vs IC Scout

The app allows to detect Gefen devices on your network using your mobile device. After finding the device, you have the option to change IP settings (IP address, subnet mask, gateway address). You can also view and edit other device settings, including the device description, the telnet and web GUI ports. The app also allows users to switch between DHCP, static, and Auto IP modes. Finally, there's a useful feature that tells the device to blink its lights in order to easily identify the device.
