Scanning tips:
The VLC feature relies upon light for its communication. If the lighting around the display or the lighting
going through the lens of the smart device is not optimal then the OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
will struggle to capture the data. W hen looking at the smart device screen during capture, you can see if
the characters of the LED display are in focus and bright, if they are blurred, with a surrounding glow or
are faint then the VLC capture will fail to work quickly and may be unable to scan at all.
NOTE
When a device is scanned for the first time, the Vertiv Mobile app will recog-
nize the serial number as being new and ask if it should be added to the da-
tabase as shown below. If added to the database, all future scanned data
will be added to the device serial number record.
