ProScan: Official Software Thread
// deleted
That's it. Thanks.
I think that's more to do with Win 11 changing the styles.
Ugh, I upgraded to Win 11 an hour ago, ok.

I was just going to ask if you did. I don't like the styles either.
Hello,
I have a configuration with Intel NUC and UBCD3600XLT scanner (Win 10 and latest Proscan, but earlier versions also had the same issue). I have a problem to reconnect to the scanner after a Windows upgrade reboot or grid power failure (as UBCD3600XLT is on battery). Every time this happens I have to manually turn off and on again the scanner for Proscan to see it correctly. I have tried reseting the port to 0, refreshing the ports, turning off and on the port via device manager, but no success. Any ideas how to solve this issue?

I may be missing something. But every time I have to reboot the PC. I have to:
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the scanner
2. Power cycle the scanner
3. Re-connect the USB cable
4. Start Proscan
There is no need to change the port for this.
Try just power cycling the scanner and not disconnect and reconnect the USB cable then start ProScan.

For anyone that wants to use ProScan behind a Traefik reverse proxy I've created a file provider config that will rewrite the references to the local address and port. You can find it here with explanations of what it is doing. It's not 100% though and still has some issues, that is also outlined in the snippet. (this post is likely mainly going to be helpful for people that come looking in the future)
I have also sent an email to Bob about what changes could be made to make ProScan reverse proxy (or even just port forward) friendly so hopefully this won't be needed at all in the future 🤞
I've also created my own web page that displays multiple scanners on the same page making it easier for me to pull them up quickly from my phone in one place, and monitor more than one channel at once.
This taps into ProScan's web socket to communicate with the scanners so it is still necessary to have the web server running, but it doesn't need to be exposed and you can proxy the web socket. It uses PHP to load the scanner list from a files so you can easily add or remove scanners without modifying the page. The source code for this is here if you would like to implement it yourself. There is lots of things I would still like to add to the page, check out the issue list to see what I have planned.

Had to reinstall all my software. Is there a driver I need to hook up my SDS200 for proscan to recognize it? Been awhile since using proscan.
OK, but I want to run it fully remotely. From your responses I understand that it cannot be reconnected without physically turning it off and on again?
That sounds like the infamous driver to scanner communications problem that happens on the 996P2 and later scanners. The problem is when ProScan or any software is communicating with the scanner and the computer reboots then the scanner stops responding to polls. The only way to restore communications is by reinserting the USB cable or power cycling the scanner. If you're using the Uniden driver, see if the Microsoft driver works better.
I can power cycle any of my scanners remotely with ip controlled switches.
The 536 and SDS200 return to last state meaning if on and power is lost they come back on when power is restored.

I solved this problem by using a serial port on the computer instead of USB. Luckily the mini-pc I use to host has a serial port.
Could you provide a link to a correct Microsoft driver, please?
I don't have a link. It was installed automatically on Win 11. Not sure about Win 10. I use it with the 996P2 and SDS200.
Hi Bob,
Does the Microsoft driver seem to help with the issue being discussed?
I'm used to power cycling the trouble models and also built some remote power switches accessed via TCP/IP if needed for those same models.
Anyway, just curious if the Microsoft driver installed with your Win 11 install seemed to help or not.
Thanks Bob
Can you try it and find out out. I don't want to reboot my computer now as I'm in the middle of a coding session. Thanks.
// I think I tested that a few months ago using the MS driver and the scanner comms came back up on its own but not certain.

No, cannot test. I'm not running ProScan on anything higher than Win 7.
It was just a curiosity thing! Don't stop your coding session to answer my question! Someone else may test and reply.
Flanker, Same here. Except w/ Win 10, I used a Uniden USB driver, until I upgraded to Win 11.
