To run a quick scan
6. To conduct a scan, click on the “New
scan” button. After selecting New scan,
you will be prompted to select the
individual scan settings.
7. You must select either
QuickScan, or Custom IP
Range to determine the IP
Addresses to scan. You may
need to consult the IT
Manager at the site to
determine the specific IP
range for their network.
A Quick Scan is usually sufficient and will automatically
estimate and scan the standard IP range of 254 IP
addresses on the system which you are connected to.
If you do not retrieve complete information regarding
the devices on site, then you may need to broaden the
scan by scanning a custom IP range.

To run a Custom scan
Before scanning a custom IP range, you should consult
the network administrator to determine the range required.
8. Select the Custom IP range option. Then input the
starting IP address in the first custom window along
with the ending IP address in the second.
9. Once entered, click the add button to establish the
range, and click “Go” to begin the scan. Once
the scan has completed, the results will be displayed in
the Auditor window for immediate viewing. Scan data is
automatically saved to the USB key in the “results” folder.
Other scan options include specifying the Network Timeout Interval. The Network Timeout interval is the
amount of time the program will wait for a response from a device before canceling the request.
Decreasing this number will result in a faster, but potentially less accurate scan. Increasing this number
will result in a longer, but more accurate scan.
