## Description

ScanMbusChannels is a request to read the M-Bus Short Equipment Identifier (Short ID) attributes (Identification number, Manufacturer identification, Version identification, and Device type identification) from all four channels on a Gateway device to determine if an M-Bus device is bound on a channel of the Gateway device.

All requests have similar response behaviour which is described in [ResponseMessages](/gxf/domains/smartmetering/responsemessages.md).

The returned response for the ScanMbusChannels request is as specified in [ScanMbusChannelsResponse](/gxf/domains/smartmetering/smartmeteringws/configuration/scanmbuschannelsresponse.md).
