Configuring SLP Communication with imageWARE
You can facilitate the collection and management of various information about networked devices by implementing device management software, such as imageWARE Enterprise Management Console *, into the network. Information such as device settings and error logs is retrieved and distributed via the server. If the machine is connected to such a network, imageWARE searches the network for the machine by using protocols such as Service Location Protocol (SLP) to gather information from the machine, including the power status. SLP settings can be specified via the Remote UI.
* For details on imageWARE, contact your local authorized Canon dealer.
