Below are detailed information for each type of MAC scanning operation,

Single Host Scan

Quickly single domain name or ip address as shown below.

Network Scan

Network Scan allows you to scan 256*256*256 Hosts (*.0.0.0/8) in one go as shown below.

To optimize scanning performance, make sure to configure Scan & Timeout Settings

File IP List Scan

This is one of the advanced feature which allows you to scan only selected list of systems in your network. This is very useful when you have your servers scattered across different subnet or internet making the scanning operation faster and efficient.

You can specify list of specific domain names, IP address or range of IP address (in both regular and CIDR format) in the file as shown below,

#this is comment
#specify single IP address or domain name
192.168.0.1
192.168.0.100
dlinkrouter
mywindows11
#
#specify IP address range in CIDR format (192.168.0.1-192.168.0.255)
192.168.0.0/24
#
#specify IP address range for 255 * 255 hosts
192.168.0.1-192.168.255.255
#

To start the File IP Scan, first click on “Start Scan”. Then in the input dialog, check “File (IP List)” scan and select input file to begin the scan as shown below.

Note: This feature is available only in Premium & higher editions.

Right Click Menu Options

Right click context menu allows you to quickly perform many useful tasks like,

  • Rescan Host
  • Open Shared Folders
  • Open Website
  • Reboot/Shutdown System
  • Wake-On-LAN System
  • Run Network Tools like Putty, Ping, SSH, RDP, FTP, Tracert etc
  • Copy full row or selected fields

Reboot/Shutdown Command

Now you can directly send Reboot/Shutdown command to any machine in your network.

But you can send it to only authorized machines to which your PC is connected.

Here are the easy steps to establish connection,

  • Launch cmd prompt (cmd.exe) on your PC
  • Type this command to connect to target remote PC (net use \\192.168.0.111\ipc$)
  • Next you will be prompted to enter username & password
  • Upon success, you can see all connections using “net use” command

Tip: This is needed only one time per remote PC even if that PC is restarted multiple times.

Once connected, now you can send Reboot/Shutdown command successfully to this remote PC.

Settings

Settings panel allows you to tweak various scan options including Timeout, Database & Email Notifications as shown below,

Note: Command-line version automatically uses all these settings.

Below is the detailed information for each of the Settings.

Scan Settings

Here you can set Timeout settings to optimize your scans based on your network traffic conditions

First option, “Find Host Name for Every IP Address” helps you to find device/machine name for identification. You can disable it if you want to save some time for large network scan.

Next, you can enable ‘Ping Each Host for Faster Scan’. This will check if host is alive before trying to retrieve MAC address. It is not recommended as MAC address retrieval is fast enough now.

If you enable it, you can set timeout (default is 30ms) as per your network conditions.

Also to speedup the scan further, you can increase “Maximum Number of Scanner Threads”. Default value is 50 and maximum Thread count is 200.

Database Settings

XenArmor MAC IP Scanner Pro helps you to store each scan results to local SQLite database file. It is enabled by default.

You can enable/disable Database feature, via setting ‘Automatically store every scan results to database…’ as shown above & set the appropriate folder location. Later, you can view each scan results by clicking on “Open DB” button.

Note that for Command-line version, it is mandatory to enable this Database storage feature.

Email Settings

XenArmor MAC IP Scanner Pro allows you to automatically send Email Notification with full report automatically for each scan. This is very useful if you are automating your scan.

To enable/disable Email notification feature simply check or uncheck ‘Send email notification…..’ in the Setting dialog as shown above.

Once you enable it, you can set various Email settings and then click on ‘Test Email’ button to verify if the email is sent successfully or not.

Important Note: This feature uses password authentication (non-OAuth). So it will not work for email services (like Gmail) which enforce OAuth based authentication now.

Here is the real example of Email notification of Scan summary along with attached report

If you want to receive report containing only expired/expiring certificate list then check “Include only expiring/expired…” at the bottom. Else you will receive the complete scan report (may exceed size allowed by your email service)

Note: This feature is available only in Premium & higher editions.

Migration from Old to New 2025 Version

If you are upgrading from old version to new 2025 then please note following things,

  • Launch your current software and copy the Settings options like Timeout, Database, Email (or take screenshot). Later, when you launch new 2025 edition, just copy these settings to new one & then optimize
  • Unlike old versions, new v2025 comes with both GUI & Command-line version in same exe file (MACIPScannerPro.exe).
  • File IP List Scan: now you can specify IP address range normally and in CIDR format (as mentioned here). You can use this to refine your old automations/scripts.

MAC IP Scan Report

XenArmor MAC IP Scanner Pro helps you to generate detailed MAC IP Scan Report in HTML, CSV, XML, JSON, SQLite format.

On complete of scan, click on Export button and then select the type of report (HTML, CSV, XML, JSON,) from the File Save Dialog as shown below,

Here is the sample HTML report,

Advanced Feature – Automatic Database Storage

XenArmor MAC IP Scanner Pro allows you to automatically store every scan results to local Database without any installation/setup of external database softwares.

You can enable/disable the same in Database Settings as explained here

Once enabled, each scan results with summary is stored in local file (with timestamp) in SQLite database format.

Anytime, you can click on “Open DB” button to load the file to view the scan results as shown below.

How to Use Command-line Version?

XenArmor MAC IP Scanner Pro v2025 supports both GUI & Command-line version from same application. Cmdline version helps you to integrate scanning in your scripts as well as automate scan via Task Schedular.

Here are the screenshots of performing Network & File IP list scan using command-line version.

  • //Scan from File having IP Address/Hostname list
  • MACIPScannerPro.exe -o c:\output.html -f c:\iplist.txt

By default it will generate report in HTML format. You can specify csv, xml, json or db extension to output file to generate report in CSV, XML, JSON or SQLite format respectively.

Command-line version automatically uses the same Timeout, Database & Email notification options configured through Settings in MAC IP Scanner Pro GUI version.

Note: Command-line version is available only in Premium & higher editions.

Automation of MAC IP Scan

Command-line Version helps you to easily automate periodic MAC-IP scanning operation.

Also you can enable “Send Email Report” feature (via Settings) to send complete scan report to your email. In addition to this, you can enable “Database Storage” feature (via Settings) to store each scan results to local database file for future reference.
