On-Site Registration in SCENE
Overview
On-Site Registration enables the 3D scan data, whether it be from a single scan or multiple scans in process simultaneously, to be wirelessly transmitted directly to an on-site computer. Additionally, the scans are automatically aligned in real time.
Connecting the Scanner to the PC
To connect to the scanner directly, follow this procedure.
- Power on the scanner.
- Navigate to Manage > General Settings > WLAN.
- Toggle the Status button to the ON position.
- Set the Mode to Access Point.
- Write down your scanner's IP Address and make note of the Network Name.
- On the PC, find the scanner network in the list of available networks.
- Connect using the password: 0123456789
Note: The scanner's network is limited to a data transfer rate of 54 Mbit/s. For a faster connection, you can connect to the scanner over a local network by setting the Mode to WLAN instead of Access Point. This allows for transfer speeds up to 150Mbit/s in 5GHz networks.
Check Network Security Status
- Open your network list.
- Click Properties for the scanner network.
- Make sure Private is checked.
If you are experiencing connection issues, your firewall or Windows Group Policy may be blocking the data transfer. Click here for setup/troubleshooting information. For additional connection information, download the Focus scanner manual.

Troubleshooting
Scan Failed to Register
If a scan fails to register, you will see a warning icon, and the scan's status will be Failed.
The most likely cause of a registration failure is not having enough overlap between scans.
- Move the scanner closer to the last scan position.
- Scan again, and the new scan should register.
- Select the previous failed scan.
- Click Register Again.
- The failed scan should register correctly.
Error Message: "No Connection to SCENE. Trying to connect..."
If you see this message when trying to scan, even after connecting to the scanner through SCENE, your firewall may be blocking the data transfer.
