# Configuration Parameters

Note: "Scan Method" and "Web Service Address" are typically the only parameters that require adjustment.
1 - Scanner Menu - After logging in, select "Configuration > Parameters" 2 - Scanner Parameters Scanner ID - Factory assigned serial number Scanner Communication BAUD Rate - Default Value: 115200 ** USB Communication Timeout - Default Value: 50 ** - This is the time (in seconds) it takes for the scanner skip a given panel if the panel has not responded in the given period.
Scan Cycles before full panel scan - A cycle is when the system scans the patch cords as designed. This value defines the number of “as designed test cycles” that occur before the system looks for a new panel. The default value is 1000. **
Scan cycles before full patchcord scan - A cycle is when the system scans the patch cords as designed. This value defines the number of “as designed test cycles that occur before the system looks for a new patch cord. The default value is 100. **
Scan Method - Scanner scanning mode

Scan method options; New Installation - This mode is used when installing (or re-installing) a scanner into a system. In this mode, the scanner will write its profile into the server. This mode will overwrite the panel connectivity in the server for a panel with the same ID already installed in the system. This method includes an exhaustive scan for patch cord connection.
Quick New Installation - This mode is used when re-installing a scanner into a system. In this mode, the scanner will write its profile into the server. This mode will overwrite the panel connectivity in the server for a panel with the same ID already installed in the system.
Resume from last state - The scanner automatically changes to “ResumeLastState” mode after the scanner completes the “NewInstallation” routine. In this mode, the scanner works with the server to monitor day-to-day connectivity changes.
Resume from server - Downloads scanner configuration from server (requires scanner was previously installed and configured)
Factory - Factory test mode **

Delay to setup panel - This value represents the number of cycles “as designed test cycles” that are completed before a panel receives data from the scanner. Do not change this value unless directed by technical support. **
Delay to setup port - This value represents the number of cycles completed before the port receives data from the scanner. Do not change this value unless directed by technical support. The default value is “0”. **
Web service address - IMPORTANT: Defines the URL and server instance communication path between the scanner and the server . Machine name or IPv4 based addressing is acceptable.
** - Change only upon direction from technical support
