Installing ProScan
• Download ProScan and either Save or Open the compressed .zip file.
• Click the .exe setup file and follow the prompts.
• Choose a folder for the install.

Notes

• There is never a need to uninstall ProScan if any previous version of ProScan is installed prior to installing.
• The existing configuration, logging & recording files will be retained after installation.
• On 64 bit systems, If installing in the folder: "\Program Files (x86)", The OS will put all the ProScan generated files
(Configuration, Recordings, Logging, etc...) in "\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\ProScan"
unless ProScan is elevated to administrative rights.
• ProScan is designed for the Microsoft .net 2.0 Framework. Your computer should have .net 2.0 installed as it's part of the
Microsoft Windows Update. If it's not installed, it will be installed automatically during the setup.

Change the Scanner Type

• Go to Menu --> Scanner Type and choose the type of scanner using with ProScan.

Notes

• Changing the scanner type should be done first before setting the comm port options, general options, or opening a database
file.
• If connecting to a Remote Scanner Over IP server then the scanner type will change automatically upon connection to the
server.
Communications Serial Port Setup
The Comm Port is for transferring data between ProScan and the scanner for logging, uploading & downloading, remote control, etc.

Before setting up the scanner, a cable should be connected from the scanner to the computer.

Using a RS-232 Cable

1. If connecting to a scanner port that doubles as a GPS port then a null modem adapter is required. Otherwise use a RS-232
straight through cable.

Using a USB Converter Cable

1. Connect the cable from the scanner to the computer.

2. Install the USB Converter driver.
3. Check the Windows Device Manager to see if the driver is installed correctly and is working.
4. Note the port assignment shown in the Device Manager.

Set the Port number and Baud Rate

1. Go to the scanner menu and find the port options. Some of the scanners have the port options in the GPS or Location section.
2. Set the baud rate to the highest baud rate listed.
3. Go to the Menu --> Comm Port.
4. Set the baud rate to match the scanner baud rate.
5. Set the Port to the same shown in the Windows Device Manager.

ProScan should now be communicating with the scanner and the virtual display should come to life resembling the scanners display.

Notes

• If using a BC780XLT, make sure the scanner is in Remote Mode. "RMT" will appear on the scanner display. To turn on
remote mode, press the "E" key on the scanner for 2 seconds.
• A Null Modem Adapter connect in-line from the scanner and computer. The purpose is to reverse pins 2 and 3 (TX and RX).
It's needed on scanner ports that doubles as GPS ports.

7. If success, "UDP Not Connected" message should disappear and "Bytes RX" increments.
Opening a Database File
Before data in a database can be uploaded to the scanner or downloaded from the scanner, a database file must be opened.

Before opening a database, make sure the Scanner Type is correct for your model. This will insure the right database format is
used.

1. Go to the Menu --> Database.

2. If an exiting database has been created before, Go to the Menu --> Database --> Open and choose the file name.
3. If creating a new database file, Go to the Menu --> Database --> New and type in any file name.

Audio Setup
Audio from a sound card is used for the Recorder, Source Client, Web Server, and Remote Scanner Over IP features.

Steps

1. Go to Audio Control tab then the Recorder, Source Client, Web Server, or Remote Scanner Over IP tab.
2. Select the Input Sound Device. In most cases, this will be the Primary Sound Device which is the 1st item in the selection.
3. Select the Mode Mono or Stereo. It's recommended when streaming to the public, the mode should be mono.
4. Select the Format WAV or MP3. Choice may not appear depending on the type of service.
5. Select the Samples Per Second. A higher number will give better quality but uses more bandwidth. It’s recommended that
this setting be kept at the default setting of 22050.
6. Select the MP3 Bitrate. A higher number will give better quality but uses more bandwidth. It’s recommended that this
setting be kept at the default setting of 16 (mono) or 32 (stereo).

Listening With The Computer Speakers

1. Go to Audio Control --> Monitor & Test tab.

2. Click the Capture Audio Service combo box and choose one of the audio services using.

Headphone jack to the computer sound card Line In (light blue) or Mic (pink) jack.
• If using the Source Client feature with the Server Type set to Broadcastify then the Samples Per Second is fixed at 22050 and
the MP3 Bitrate is fixed at 16 (mono) / 32 (stereo).
For reference, see the excellent article Connecting Radios to Soundcards.

Audio Level Adjustment Procedure

• Start with the ProScan input level controls. Turn up the connected input (left or right) to 100% and turn down the non
connected input to 0%.
• Click the Windows Mixer button and go to the Recording side, not the Playback side. Insure that the input is enabled and set
to 100%. If using a microphone input then the level control should be turned way down to minimize distortion.
• Tune the scanner to a constant channel such as weather or a control channel frequency. Turn the scanner volume up until you
hear distortion and back off about 10%.
• The audio is setup correctly when the level indicators changes with the audio level. If it doesn't change then check the
Windows Mixer controls and cables.

• Red Light - Indicates that the audio is being recorded. The red light turns on when the green light turns on at the start of
audio detect and turns off after a 1 second delay when audio is no longer present. This assures that no audio would be loss
during the recording if there is an audio pause.

Recording Options located in the Menu --> Options --> Recording

• Use Tones For Frequency / Tone Matching & Tone In Filename On Conv. Channels Recording When Tone Arrives
Or 5 (DMA) To 20 (Non-DMA) Seconds - When a transmission is received, this option will match the tone along with the
frequency in the file name. The CTCSS/DCS tones arrives after the transmission starts due to the scanner tone detection time.
DMA scanners improved the detection time. If the scanner is in search mode or the mode of the scanner tone feature must
search for the tone of the channel then it's best to turn this option off as the tone will arrive late after the log entry. A second
log entry will show, one without the tone and another with the tone. If the scanner is scanning with the tone specified then it
is best to turn this option on.
• Delete < 2 Seconds Log Entries - This will delete any transmission with a duration lasting less then 2 seconds.

The Treeview is the object to the left in the Database Tab --> Systems . The treeview displays the system, group, and channel
names on the left side. The system type is displayed in the middle. The SQK is the System/Site quick key. On trunking systems,
the lowest SQK number is displayed at the system level. The Freq's show the number of frequencies contained in the system.
TGID's show the number of Talk Groups contained in the system.

Multiselecting Treeview Nodes

To select multiple treeview nodes, click the first node with the mouse then hold down the Control key and select the next nodes.
Only the same type of nodes can be selected at the same time such as Systems, Groups, Conventional frequencies, and trunking
frequencies.

Multiselecting Treeview Nodes are for

• Drag & Drop or Copy & Paste to other systems, groups, other ProScan instances.
• Deleting multiple nodes in one operation.
• Updating TextTags

The Nodes in the Treeview can be dragged with the Mouse or Copy & Paste. When dragging, the nodes can be moved or copied. To
Move, select the nodes with the mouse and left click the mouse button and drag them to desired location. To Copy, right click the
mouse and drag them to location. The nodes can also be copied to other instances of ProScan.

Steps

1. Get the Web Server to work locally

1. In the Web Server Server Port box, choose a port number from 1 to 65535.
2. Start the Web Server. If the port is in use then a message will appear, advising to use another port.
3. If your computer has a firewall running, ProScan must be added to the firewall exception list. The firewall software may
show a prompt asking for your permission to allow ProScan in the exemption list.
4. Using your favorite web browser, in the URL area, put in the computer address followed a colon and port number.
Example 192.168.1.4:5000
If the browser fails to connect with the Web Server, troubleshoot before continuing.
2. Get the Web Server to work remotely
1. Configure your router to allow incoming TCP connections. Log in to the router and look for a section called Port
Forwarding, NAT, Applications, or Port Routing. Consult your router manual. Enter the server port number.
2. Using your favorite web browser, in the URL area, put in the outside address followed a colon and port number. Example
71.165.76.211:5000
If the browser fails to connect with the Web Server, troubleshoot before continuing.
3. Use a free DNS service For those with a dynamic IP address, it may change periodically. It's recommended that you use a
free DNS service like dyndns.com, no-ip.com, or dynip.com where you can choose a name that never will change.
1. Using your favorite web browser, in the URL area, put in the no ip address followed a colon and port number. Example
proscan.dyndns.org:5000

Web Server Configuration

• Server Port - Select any port 1 to 65535. Don't choose port 80 as many ISP's block that port for incoming traffic.

Troubleshooting
To test if the Web Server can be seen from the outside, start the Web Server then go to canyouseeme.org. Enter the same
port that you have in the Server Port box. If the web site does not see the Web Server then that must be resolved first. Try
connecting with the browser on the same computer with the Local IP address in the browser. If it does not work that must be
resolved. Enter in the outside IP address in the browser. If it does not work that must be resolved.

Notes

• Web Server works best with Chrome. If the Web Server page doesn't work correctly, try the latest version of your favorite
browser.
• JavaScript should be enabled in the browser for some of the features of Web Server to work.
• The remote audio playback may have slight delay due to the Media Players built in buffering.
• URL can be directly entered in Media Players. If an audio streamn is password protected, use this format. Example:
proscan.dyndns.org/stream mypassword. On a few media players, spaces may not be allowed so use + in place of a
space. Example: proscan.dyndns.org/stream+mypassword

Metadata Setup
The Metadata is for the Source Client and Web Server features. It is text embedded in the audio stream. Not all media players
support Metadata. Windows Media Player does not support Metadata. WinAmp & iTunes does. Metadata can come from the
scanner, another program (or another instance of ProScan), a file, or a program that puts descriptive information such as the
channel name in the title / caption bar of that program.

Select the Source Client / Web Server tab and click the Metadata Source button.

Metadata Source

Click the OK button when finished setting up the Metadata. The Metadata will show in both the Source Client and Web Server tabs
next to the Metadata Source buttons.

Custom Format
The Metadata can be customized using the Custom Format Specifiers. See the Custom Format Specifiers in the top right area of the
dialog. The Custom Format Specifiers may show differently depending on the type of scanner. An example: The Custom Format
box contains the text My City - %C- %TF This will show as My City - Montclair FD - 004240.
Remote Scanner Over IP
Remote Scanner Over IP or RSOIP is for Remote Control of the scanner including Downloading & Uploading the database, Logging,
and Recording.

RSOIP Featured

• Unlimited servers and or clients can run on the same computer depending on the resources such as serial ports, memory, and
bandwidth.
• Servers can accept unlimited amount of clients depending on the bandwidth.
• Low latency data / audio streaming.
• Stream MP3 or G729 format.
• No external software needed.
• One port for both the data and audio.
• Server can send messages to clients.
• Server "Hot Event" messages to inform the listeners of anything of importance or specific activity (Pursuits, fire, etc...).
• Clients display real time published server list.
• Clients show the display as if you are at the scanner.
• Client audio recorder.
• Client history logging.
• Client proxy support.
• Status logging of connections.

RSOIP has two modes, Server and Client. The scanner side is the Server and the far location is the Client side. The client can
connect in a monitor only mode or full control if password is known.

Control Client
All scanner operations can be done remotely such as uploading & downloading, controlling scanner, adjusting volume and squelch
(newer scanner models). A password is required for this mode.

Monitor Client
Monitor Clients can not control the scanner, only view and listen to the remote scanners. Password box should be blank.

Server Side Setup

1. check the audio format options in the Audio Control --> Remote Scanner Over IP tab. See the Audio Setup section
2. Get the Remote Scanner Over IP to work locally
1. In the Remote Scanner Over IP Server Port box, choose a port number from 1 to 65535.
2. Start the Remote Scanner Over IP Server. If the port is in use then a message will appear, advising to use another port.
3. If your computer has a firewall running, ProScan must be added to the firewall exception list. The firewall software may
show a prompt asking for your permission to allow ProScan in the exemption list.
4. Try to connect from the client, in the Server IP Address or Name box, put in the computer address followed a colon and
port number. Example 192.168.1.4:5000
If the client fails to connect with the Remote Scanner Over IP server, troubleshoot before continuing.
3. Get the Remote Scanner Over IP to work remotely
 1. Configure your router to allow incoming TCP connections. Log in to the router and look for a section called Port
Forwarding, NAT, Applications, or Port Routing. Consult your router manual. Enter the server port number.
2. Try to connect from the client, in the Server IP Address or Name box, put in the computer address followed a colon and
port number. Example nbsp; 71.165.76.211:5000
If the client fails to connect with the Remote Scanner Over IP server, troubleshoot before continuing.
4. Use a free DNS service For those with a dynamic IP address, it may change periodically. It's recommended that you use a
free DNS service like dyndns.com, no-ip.com, or dynip.com where you can choose a name that never will change.
1. Try to connect from the client, in the Server IP Address or Name box, put in the computer address followed a colon and
port number. Example proscan.dyndns.org:5000

Technical Support, Bug Reporting, and Request / Suggestion

Bug Reporting

If you have a bug, it can be reported via email or RadioReference. The advantage of email is if I can not reproduce the bug, I'll send
you production quality files with additional testing to help fix the bug and the person reporting the bug will get the fix sooner then
waiting for the next release.

Email the bug reports to support@proscan.org

Bug Reports - Advise on the following:

• Product (ProScan, Free Client, or RadioFeed):

• Version:
• Scanner type:
• OS type:
• Options pertaining to the bug:
• Describe in detail what the bug is doing or not doing:

Request / Suggestion Guidelines

If you have suggestions, they can be sent via email or RadioReference. The advantage of email is I can ask additional questions to
make sure the suggestion is done right and send you the latest ProScan file with the suggestion implemented.

All suggestion are prioritized with the following factors:

• I like it or I think others will like it.

• Time value benefit.
• Similar to another request or in the same category as another request so they can be done at the same time.
• Please keep the commentary and drama out. A simple suggestion or request is all that's needed.
• Please don't disguise a bug as a request. It's acceptable when the user not sure if a bug or by design.
• Please don't ask that your suggestion be done next or bumped up.
• Please don't be pushy, rude, or manipulative. For the very few users that are like this.
 • Please don't request Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry, etc... It will take several years to do each and I would rather
spend the time on ProScan & RadioFeed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ProScan do this or does it do that?

The best way to find out is to download ProScan and try it. Your questions may be answered by using ProScan. If still in doubt then
email or post the question.

Can I run multiple copies of ProScan on one computer?

Yes. Many instances of ProScan can run on the same computer. 1) Copy and paste an existing folder and rename the new folder.
2) Run from the new folder and change the options specific to that instance.

Do I need to purchase a ProScan license for this feature to work in the demo mode?

No. The 30 day demo / trial is 100% fully functional.

I can't control the scanner when I'm connected to a Remote Scanner Over IP server.

If you were given a password by the Server operator then you can control the scanner. If you don't have a password, then you can
monitor only.

What is the Free ProScan Monitor Client?

It enables people to connect to ProScan servers in Monitor Client mode to view and listen. No control of scanner.

How can automatically start streaming after the computer reboots?

Add a shortcut to the Windows Startup Group. ProScan will start the Source Client, Web Server, and Remote Scanner Over IP
(Server & Client) automatically if running when ProScan was closed.

How can I stream multiple feeds at the same time?

By running multiple instances of ProScan

Can you put a feed on-line?

I don't run the feeds. I just make the software for others to run Remote Scanner Over IP feeds.
