The BlackArmor Discovery Software, when installed, will locate (discover) Seagate NAS devices on your current local area network (LAN) segment. The BlackArmor Thin Discovery Client allows you to discover Seagate BlackArmor NAS Servers on your network without the need to install the entire Discovery software package. This may benefit BlackArmor Administrators by allowing them to carry the Discovery tool via a portable and/or flash drive between different systems.
