You would need to connect the iPads via Wireless to detect them. The iPad won't have a network IP address when connected to a computer via USB.<br />

I have my iPhone on Wireless and can see it with Advanced IP Scanner (Famatech)

<br />
What does this mean? If you have a tool that can tell the iPad is powered up, then it has to be connected to it via Wifi or GSM modems, if they are so equipped, to know their status. Can you explain this please?
</div>


<div>
I checked with our IT section. &nbsp;They said that the iPads periodically connect to our WiFi and that with AirWatch, they can see when the iPad was connected. &nbsp;If an iPad is connected to WiFi, it will have its own IP Address. &nbsp;Is it possible to identify the PC it is tethered to?
</div>


<div>
If connected by Wi-Fi, it is not tethered. You can use Advanced IP Scanner (Famatech) to see it on the network, but not tethered. <br />
<br />
USB is tethering but then the iPad is not on the network.<br />
<br />
There is no native way I know to tell from a server where the USB connected iPads belong.

Thanks very much to you both. &nbsp;I was hoping to be able to derive the information about the pc, but I appreciate your responses.

Unable to locate an iPad that is connected to a network PC via usb. Can it be located by scanning the network?

iOS is a mobile operating system developed by Apple; it is a derivative of the Mac OS X desktop operating system, with which it shares many (but not all) common frameworks and other components. These include Cocoa Touch, the Mach/Darwin/XNU kernel and code from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). Each iOS application runs in its own secure sandbox to prevent altering other applications, the operating system, or any other data.

iPad is an iOS-based line of tablet computers built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard. The iPad includes built-in Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity on select models. An iPad can shoot video, take photos, play music, and perform Internet functions such as web-browsing and emailing. Other functions – games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking, etc. – can be enabled by downloading and installing apps.

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Windows 10

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.
