Well since you need to know it's IP address I will assume that you are not 
using static IP addresses and thus you are using DHCP. It should be as easy 
as checking the DHCP server logs or the table of active leases and searching 
for you MAC address.

You could try running:

arp -e

Thanks, that is perfect (need to record this command in my handy book).

I've assigned static address to this device (it is an ATA phone adapter
AG468).
It worked initially, but when I pressed reset button it shows
(incomplete), is it off.

Address                           HWaddress           Flags Mask
Iface
10.0.0.111                       (incomplete)
eth0

The manual is indicating that the ATA should return to its default
setting, that is:
IP 192.168.1.200.
Though, I have another network running on IP 192.168.1.2 and can not
find it on 192.168.1.200 either.

maybe with arp?  but that's only if it's on your local segment.
