# Virtual Scanner

| The scanner displayed in the rack actively represents the operational status of the MIIM scanner. Selecting a scanner, then hovering over the green LAN port shows the IP address of the port. Right clicking on a green scanner LAN port will open a web browser window of the selected scanner.
The color of the LAN port indicates the state of communication between the scanner and the server. A red LAN port indicates a broken communication path between the scanner and the server. A green port indicates that communication is established and operational between the scanner and the server.
The LAN2 port IP address is ALWAYS 192.168.10.117.
Hovering over the S1 and S2 lights yields an indication of the present state of the scanner. The system continually monitors all known patches but scans for unknown patches at user-defined intervals. These lights blink depending on present scanning mode.
Scanner lights S3 through S6 show operation status of the scanner’s internal sub-systems. All lights are continually “on” for an operational scanner.
