Understanding Messages
During operation, the Scanner Appliance reports the following errors in the
Scanner Appliance user interface (LCD display and Remote Console).
Activation Code At startup, the Scanner Appliance failed to make a
connection to the Qualys Cloud Platform and the Scanner
Appliance has not been activated yet. Please activate the
Scanner Appliance as described in the Quick Start.
Network Error At startup, the Scanner Appliance failed to make a
connection to the Qualys Cloud Platform. This message
may appear because you need to enable additional
configurations, such as a static IP address and/or
Proxy support.

appliance tried to poll the Qualys Cloud Platform during
normal operation. This error can occur only after successful
completion of the Quick Start.

configurations options and setup steps. See the Troubleshooting section for
help with resolving any errors.

Review Network Requirements
The Scanner Appliance has the following network requirements.
Outbound HTTPS Access Your local network must be configured to allow outbound
https (port 443) access to the Internet, so that the
Scanner Appliance can communicate with the
Qualys Cloud Platform.
Accessibility of Target IPs The IP addresses for the hosts to be scanned must be
accessible to the Scanner Appliance. This is particularly
important if your network is designed with VLANs.
Bandwidth Minimum recommended bandwidth connection of
1.5 megabits per second (Mbps) to the Qualys Cloud
Platform.
DHCP or Static IP The Scanner Appliance is pre-configured with DHCP.
If you wish to configure with a static IP address, be sure
you have the IP address, netmask, default gateway, and
primary DNS.
Proxy Support Proxy support is available with or without authentication —
basic or NTLM. The Proxy server must be assigned a
static IP address and must allow transparent SSL
tunneling.
