VMOS EDGE supports two ways to add hosts to the PC client: Automatic Discovery and Manual Addition.
Method 1: Automatic Host Discovery (Recommended)
Applicable Scenario:
When PC client and host are on the same local network (same subnet), the system can automatically discover host devices.
Operation Steps:
- Ensure host and PC are connected to the same router or switch network.
- Open PC client, enter the "Host" interface.
- The system will automatically scan devices on the same subnet and display online hosts.
- When host status shows Online, you can perform cloud machine management and connection operations.
Tips:
If not automatically displayed, please check:
- Whether host and PC are on the same subnet;
- Whether host network is normal;
- Whether local network discovery service is blocked by firewall.
Method 2: Manual Host Addition
Applicable Scenario:
When PC client and host are not on the same subnet (such as cross-subnet, different router environments), you can add manually.
Operation Steps:
- Ensure PC client can Ping the host IP address.
- On the host device, view the host IP address through the LED display screen.

- Open PC Client → Cloud Machine → Add Host.
- Enter the host IP address in the input box, click "Confirm" to add.
- After successful addition, the host will appear in the host list with status showing Online.

Tips:
- If addition fails, please verify network connectivity again (Ping test).
✅ Recommendations
- Same subnet recommends using automatic discovery for quick identification and connection to hosts.
- Cross-subnet deployment or remote use, manual addition is more flexible, suitable for enterprise environments.
