# Does every warehouse scanner count as a device in NetSenX pricing?

No. NetSenX counts the agents you run, not the devices they watch. One agent on a SPAN or TAP port counts as one device for the whole segment it monitors, so forty handheld scanners, the label printers and the conveyor controller on one mirrored segment are covered by that one agent. An agent installed directly on a server or laptop also counts as one device, and watches that host. The planning question is therefore how many segments you need to watch and where you can copy their traffic, not how many devices you own. A warehouse with its own switch usually needs one agent there. Handhelds on Wi-Fi access points connected to that switch are seen when their traffic crosses the mirrored port. The pricing page shows the device limit of each plan, from Free upwards.
