5.8.3 Identification of remote systems
PhoneSweep can only identify computer systems for which Sandstorm Enterprises has determined correct
response strings (presently over 450 systems). If you encounter a system that PhoneSweep cannot
identify, please contact Sandstorm. We will incorporate the response strings into the next version of
PhoneSweep.
For a complete list, please see List of Identified Systems in Appendix I.
5.9 Rescanning a Profile
In some situations, you may want to rescan a previously scanned set of numbers such as when you want
to be sure that no new modems have been added to the system since the last sweep. Or perhaps you
previously made a scan that detected insecure modems, and want to make sure that those modems have
been removed.
The Rescan function makes a clone of the current profile (or the Profile you have highlighted on the
Profiles sub-tab), preserving the same set of phone numbers and scanning options with a new name, but
without call results information from the previous scans.
To rescan the current Profile, click the Rescan button on the menu bar. To rescan a different profile, go to
the Profiles sub-tab and highlight (select) the profile you want to rescan, then click the Rescan button.
You will be prompted to name for the new profile. Once you have entered a profile name, Rescan creates
the new Profile and opens it for scanning. You can then click the Start button to begin the new sweep.
Normally you will not want to use the Rescan button until the first sweep has been completed, but it is
possible to Rescan an unfinished scan if required. If this has been done, the unfinished scan can be
completed later by switching to it and clicking Start.
