# ScanMbusChannels ## 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). ## References XSD: [sm-management.xsd](https://github.com/OSGP/open-smart-grid-platform/blob/development/osgp/shared/osgp-ws-smartmetering/src/main/resources/schemas/sm-adhoc.xsd) WSDL: [SmartMeteringAdhoc.wsdl](https://github.com/OSGP/open-smart-grid-platform/blob/development/osgp/shared/osgp-ws-smartmetering/src/main/resources/SmartMeteringAdhoc.wsdl) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://grid-exchange-fabric.gitbook.io/gxf/domains/smartmetering/smartmeteringws/configuration/scanmbuschannels.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
