Fortunately Windows does not do broadcast pings, but there are otherways to find all the ipaddresses on your network. Have a look at this.
If you use Linux you can do "ping -b aaa.bbb.ccc.255", with OSX there is the network utility in the Utility folder which can help you.
Also in most cases vendors give their equipment a static address which is something like 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1....

Depends on the equipment and the equipment it attaches to.
If you can get a command prompt and it's windows based then IPConfig will do it.
If it's on a network and you know it's name then on another machine ping -a \\name should give you the IP address.
If you have an intelligent managed switch then querying the routing table should get it for you.
If it's address is provided by DHCP then the DHCP server should be able to tell you.
If you have a DNS server then that may be able to tell you.
Hope something there is useful for you.
Good luck

in windows, open a dos/command prompt and type ipconfig/? or ping/? this brings up a little help for each of the commands and it should be self explaining.

What is this piece of equipment and how do you know it is connected to the network?? Do you have access to the equipment?
Try any/all of the following:
Call the equipment installer to tell you how to do this
Call the equipment installer and get them to demonstrate it to you
RTFM and connect a laptop to the equipment and use telnet to extract info
