For technicians who do not want to install the full database software on their laptop just to find a device, ZKTeco provides a lightweight, standalone executable often named SearchTool.exe or ZKDeviceSearch . This utility is widely available on the ZKTeco official website and partner portals.
The scanner only works within the same broadcast domain. If your device is on VLAN 20 (IP: 10.0.20.1) and your laptop is on VLAN 10 (IP: 10.0.10.5), the scanner will find it.
Replace an old F7 with a new SpeedFace-V5L. Use the scanner to back up users/logs from the old device (if model supports export), then restore to the new one.
A: No. The broadcast protocol does not traverse routers. You must be on the same local subnet.
