====== Automatic Discovery over the Network ======
----

**XcaliburW** employs a methodology of discovery and enrollment to register and make devices available for management by **XcaliburW**. This process can be automated as well as be handled using manual intervention – which one you decide to use will depend mainly on your security policies.

The Discovery is mainly used in LAN Environments. It enables to send packets onto the network so as to identify Devices that have the XcaliburW Device Agent installed.
  
From the **Discovery / Enrollement** section, you can access to **Discovery** page as follows
