Do you know the MAC address of the device? That's usually written on the
box somewhere, so you can usually examine the output of arp -n to findthe
associated IP address.

If it's not in the arp table, and it's your network, a QAD method is

sudo nmap -sP 192.168.0.1-254 | grep -B 3 MACaddress

Substituting the address range of your network if it's not 192.168.0.
