How Do I Use Angry IP Scanner?

Before you use it, you have to understand the following concepts:

Concept Type	Explanation
IP	The IP (Internet Protocol) address is a numerical label that’s assigned to every device (i.e., printer, computer) participating in your computer network. Every computer uses the IP address for communication.
Subnetwork	The subnetwork is a subdivision of the IP network. Subnetting is the practice of dividing the network into two or more separate networks.
Port	In your internet protocol suite, the port is a communication endpoint in the operating system. While this term is used for the management of hardware devices, in software it acts as a construct that shows a specific type of network service.
Subnet mask	Subnet masks is a bitmask that you can use to separate bits of the host identifier from the bits of your network identifier. Also, it’s written in the same notation to show the user’s IP address.

Now that you’ve learned the important factors, now we can help you learn how to use this ip network scanner correctly.
