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 Management Console searches the network for the machine by using protocols such as Service Location Protocol (SLP) to gather information from the machine, such as power supply status information. SLP settings can be specified via the Remote UI. This section also describes the procedure to configure settings for communication between the machine and plug-ins for iW Management Console.
* For more information about iW Management Console, contact your local authorized Canon dealer.

To use iW Management Console plug-insYou need to enable the settings of the dedicated port and the SNMP settings. As for the SNMP settings, set [MIB Access Permission] to [Read/Write] for both SNMPv1 and SNMPv3.

Notifying a device management software of the power status of the machine
|
1
|
Click [Edit] in [Sleep Mode Notification Settings].
 |
|
2
|
Select the [Notify] check box and specify the required settings.
 [Notify]
Select the check box to notify a device management software of the power status of the machine. When [Notify] is selected, you can expect the machine to avoid unnecessary communication during sleep mode and reduce the total power consumption. [Port Number]
Change the port number for this function according to the network environment. [Number of Routers to Traverse]
Specify how many routers the notification packets can pass. Enter a number from 0 to 254. [Notification Interval]
Specify how often the machine notifies a device management software of its power status. Enter a number in seconds from 60 to 65535. |

Restart the machine.
Turn OFF the machine, wait for at least 10 seconds, and turn it back ON.
Configuring Settings for Communication between the Machine and Plug-ins
You can specify the settings to enable communication between the machine and iW Management Console plug-ins. Use of plug-ins allows you to manage the machine's settings from iW Management Console.
1
Start the Remote UI and log on in System Manager Mode. Starting Remote UI
2
Click [Settings/Registration].
3
Click [Network Settings] [Settings for Device Settings Management].
[Settings for Device Settings Management].
4
Click [Edit]
5
Select [Use Device Settings Management] [OK].
[OK].
[Use Device Settings Management]
To communicate with iW Management Console plug-ins, select the check box. When the check box is cleared, the machine will not be recognized as a device to be managed from plug-ins.
