The Ubiquiti Discovery Tool is a powerful and easy-to-use app designed to simplify the management of your Ubiquiti devices within your local network. It includes a streamlined interface and many features. It streamlines the discovery and configuration of your UniFi devices.
Now Deprecated
If you look at the Unifi download page, you will see that both the standalone tool and browser plugin have not been updated in years. Take note of the dates for both. They are now both deprecated. You can get the Java version of the tool to run, but you need an OLD version of Java, Java version 8 update 251.
Since these are now deprecated and super old, you will likely encounter issues trying to run either of the tools, especially with new versions of Java. However, there is a Ubiquiti device discovery tool alternative you can use called WiFiman.
To download the WiFiman Desktop tool, navigate here:
https://community.ui.com/releases/WiFiman-Desktop-0-2-2/74d8bc1d-6735-444b-a7fc-0ea2584ccb89
Installing the Ubiquiti Discovery Tool – WiFiman
Before using WiFiman, you must download and install the software on your computer. The installation process is straightforward and can be completed within a few minutes.
-
Visit the download link provided above for WiFiman and download the file for your system (Linux, Mac, Windows)
-
With the WiFiman desktop tool, there isn’t really an installation per se. It will just run the tool
-
Launch the WiFiman tool.
Discovering Ubiquiti Devices on Your Local Network
Once you’ve installed WiFiman, you can use it to discover your UniFi devices within your local network. The tool scans your network for UniFi devices, displaying a list of discovered devices, their MAC addresses, and other essential information.
-
Open the WiFiman utility and click on the refresh button.
-
The tool will automatically scan your local network and display a list of detected UniFi devices.
-
To view more details about a specific device, click on its MAC address in the list.
-
The device’s details, including firmware version and device status, will be displayed in a separate window.
Configuring and Upgrading Ubiquiti Devices
With the Ubiquiti Device Discovery Tool, you can easily access and configure your devices or upgrade their firmware. By selecting a device from the list, you can send action commands to it or access its Web UI for more advanced configuration options.
-
To access the Web UI of a UniFi device, click on the device’s MAC address in the Ubiquiti Discovery Tool’s list.
-
A new browser window will open, displaying the device’s Web UI. Log in using your UniFi Controller credentials.
-
From the Web UI, you can configure various settings, such as network parameters and device-specific options.
-
To upgrade the device’s firmware, navigate to the “Upgrade” section and follow the prompts to download and install the latest firmware version.
Utilizing the Java Discovery Tool for Ubiquiti Devices
While the primary Ubiquiti Discovery Tool is a standalone application, a Java-based version is also known as the Java Discovery Tool. This version is useful for users who prefer a lightweight, browser-based alternative to the standalone software. To use the Java Discovery Tool, you must have Java installed on your computer and download the tool from the Ubiquiti website.
Again, this tool is extremely old in the Ubiquiti downloads and may not run correctly with the updated versions of Java available today.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
As with any software, you may encounter errors or issues while using the Ubiquiti Device Discovery Tool. Some common problems include:
-
The Java tool simply won’t run – You need a specific version of Java to run the tool, Java version 8 update 251
-
Devices not appearing in the list: Ensure your devices are connected to the local network and powered on. You will need to make sure you are on the same broadcast domain (VLAN) as your Ubiquiti devices to be successfully detected by WiFiman
-
Difficulty accessing the Web UI: Verify that your UniFi Controller is running and that you are using the correct credentials to log in.
-
Issues with firmware upgrades: Ensure you are using the latest version of WiFiman and that your devices have a stable internet connection.
Discovering your devices allows managing them with the Unifi Controller. What is the Unifi Controller?
Managing Multiple Ubiquiti Networks with the UniFi Controller
The UniFi Controller is a management platform that complementsWifiman. With the UniFi Controller, you can easily manage multiple UniFi networks and devices from a centralized location. Some key features of the UniFi Controller include:
