Configuring Settings for Device Management Software

You can facilitate the collection and management of various information about networked devices by implementing device management software, such as iW Management Console*, into the network. Information such as device settings, Address Books, and error logs is retrieved and distributed via the server computer. If the machine is connected to such a network, iW searches the network for the machine by using protocols such as Service Location Protocol (SLP) to gather information from the machine. Sets SLP settings and settings for communication between the machine and plug-ins for iW Management Console. These settings are performed via Remote UI.
* For more information about iW Management Console, contact your local authorized Canon dealer.
