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, the device management software searches the network for the machine by using protocols such as Service Location Protocol (SLP) to gather information from the machine. This section describes the procedures of the SLP settings and settings for communication between the machine and plug-ins for iW Management Console. These settings can be specified via Remote UI.
For more information about iW Management Console, contact your local authorized Canon dealer.
To use iW Management Console plug-ins
You need to enable dedicated setting and SNMP setting (either SNMPv1 or SNMPv3) to communicate with an iW Management Console plug-in.
