Advanced IP scanner in test

Advanced IP Scanner provides a quick overview of all devices on the network.


Conclusion


Since Bring your own device becomes more and more on the subject and employees bring their personal smartphones or notebooks into the office, no admin can know each device by heart. Advanced IP Scanner scans the entire network or a specific IP address range and displays all active devices with IP and MAC addresses. It does not matter whether the devices use static IP addresses or DHCP assigned.


In large or confusing networks, administrators create favorites to easily locate certain PCs. For documentation purposes, they export the captured data in CSV or HTML format. If the devices on the network support this, the program can directly connect via Ping, Tracert, Telnet or SSH.


FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS connections can be established to servers or network hard disks. Furthermore, the Admin device shuts down or wakes it up via Wake-on-LAN. Advanced IP Scanner also supports Radmin, a remote control software from the same manufacturer. This allows the Admin also Telnet connections, file transfers or chat with users. This is convenient for remote support.


The program has a small beauty problem: Devices whose network name does not recognize it all appear with the name of the scanning PC in the list, which does not contribute to a clear overview.


Advanced IP Scanner provides a quick overview and easy connection to all PCs on the network.
