Flow of Settings for Operating with Local Device Authentication

This section describes the flow of settings for operating the Access Management System with local device authentication.

IMPORTANT
The steps that are required differ according to the system configuration. When operating with server authentication, see "Flow of Settings for Operating with Server Authentication."

1. Preparing the Device and Network Environment

Set the network environment and date/time settings, etc., of all devices to operate with the Access Management System, and register a System Manager ID in each device.

2. Enabling the AMS

Enable the AMS on all devices to operate with the Access Management System.

For more information, see the instruction manuals of the device.

3. Starting User Authentication

Start User Authentication in all devices that support AMS.

For more information, see the instruction manuals of the device.

4. Setting Security

Precautions When Operating with Local Device Authentication

This section describes precautions to take when operating the Access Management System with local device authentication.

Using the Access Management System in Conjunction with the Department ID Management Function

When using the Department ID Management function in conjunction with the Access Management System, start the Department ID Management function and register the Department IDs after the Access Management System setup (the above operations) is complete. For information on the Department ID Management function, see the instruction manuals of the device.

When using the Department ID Management function in conjunction with the Access Management System, the [Department ID] and [System PIN] registered in the user information must match the [Department ID] and [System PIN] registered in Department ID Management. If the information in Department ID Management changes due to device information delivery settings, etc., change the user information in accordance.

Restricting Printing from Computers

To restrict printing from computers, it is necessary to add the AMS Printer Driver Add-in to the printer drivers installed in the computers, after the above operations are complete. For more information, see "Setting Up the Client Computers."
