How are you going to identify a device without knowing it's IP address?  Does it have a host name you can look up?

thanks for your feedback!
its MAC address is printed on the device,can I get its DHCP IP from its Mac Address
Look at your DHCP server on your router. Most DHCP servers show a list of all the IP's they have leased out along with the corresponding MAC addresses.

Thanks for your feedback. I dont have access to the router.
If you are lucky, you can run
ping -n 1 192.168.1.255
arp -a 

Open in new window

and search for an entry containing the MAC address you know.
