How can I manually start the Network Scanner?


Please read this article if you want to know how to configure and set up the Networkscanner https://skoposlab.freshdesk.com/a/solutions/articles/47001179662


First ensure, under Setting - Networkscanners the scanner is enabled ("ON") and the IP range has been set. It is good practice to rename the Name to something identifiable like "NetworkScanner".


Be mindful to enter the CIDR after the IP range. The /24 is most common



TL;DR The “/” after an IP address denotes the CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation and indicates the subnet mask. For example:

  • /24 (255.255.255.0) – 256 IP addresses in the range
  • /16 (255.255.0.0) – 65,536 IP addresses in the range
  • /12 (255.240.0.0) – 1,048,576 IP addresses in the range

It represents the number of bits used for the network portion of the IP.
