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

11 If it's not in the arp table, and it's your network, a QAD method is
12
13 sudo nmap -sP 192.168.0.1-254 | grep -B 3 MACaddress
14
15 Substituting the address range of your network if it's not 192.168.0.
