The Scanners are connected to the EZ-Panels with the Scanner Attachment Cords. The Scanner monitors all ports on these EZ-Panels.

In addition to the core scanning functionality, the scanner acts as the mediator between the Control Pad, which is used to control system processes, and the Master. The Control Pad may be connected to any scanner, both controlling the specific scanner, locally, and sending\receiving instructions to\from the master via the Expander.

Scanners are mounted in the communications center racks at various sites, such as different floors of a building or in other nearby buildings. They report on-site EZ-Panel connectivity information to the Master, which contains the SNMP agent.

There are two kinds of Scanners:
Scanner � includes 12 connectors and can support up to 24 EZ-Panels
Mini Scanner � includes 6 connectors and can support up to 12 EZ-Panels
