6.2 Scanning for COM24 Cards
Using the Scan link is not recommended. Figure 26 below is the result obtained by clicking the
Scan link at the top of any COM1000 web interface page. You may suppress the status messages
at the top by the clicking the Display link.
It should be noted that the more chassis a property has, the longer the Scan command will take.
There are cases where the scan can take an hour or more. As a result, the Discover command is a
better choice in nearly all cases, unless you have found that it does not work for you.
The Scan operation is limited in its capabilities. The COM24 card will scan through four full
subnets including and following the current one, looking for other COM24 cards. For example,
if the card‟s IP is 192.168.3.100, it will scan for cards in the range of 192.168.3.1 through
192.168.6.254. If your network topology is such that the IP Addresses of your COM24 cards lie
outside of this range, the Scan command will not return any data.
