Scanning Sky Monitor (SSM) on-board ASTROSAT is an X-ray detector in the energy range 2-10 keV to monitor the sky for transient X-ray sources. The science objective of SSM is to detect and locate these transient X-ray sources. We discuss here in this paper, the spectral calibration of SSM along with on-board calibration plans using the X-ray flux from the Crab nebula. Spectral response for SSM is derived using a routine in ftools and the inputs for deriving the response are got from the results of the experiments done on the qualification model for SSM.
