If the network environment of this software is changed from a domain to a workgroup environment or from a workgroup to a domain environment, or if the firewall service is started, it is necessary to manually register this software as an application for which communication via Windows firewall is allowed.

When the IP Address/FQDN of the Computer Has Been Changed
If the IP address or FQDN (fully qualified domain name) that was specified in [Site Address] when installing the Manager of this software has been changed, perform the following operation.
IMPORTANT |
When the Manager and Agent are operating on different computers, do not change the IP address of the computer where the Manager is running and the IP address of the computer where the Agent is running at the same time. Doing so will prevent the Manager and Agent from communicating, and this software will not operate correctly.
When it is necessary to change both at the same time, change one first, confirm that the Manager and Agent are communicating, and then change the other. |
1.
On the [System] menu > [Agents] page, confirm that the Manager is correctly communicating with all the Agents.
2.
Stop the service of this software on the computer where the Manager is running.
Open [Windows Administrative Tools] > [Services] from the Start menu.
Stop the services in the following order.
Canon Management Console Agent (only when the Manager and Agent are running on the same computer)
Canon Management Console Manager
IMPORTANT |
Do not stop the Agent service running in computers other than the computer where the Manager is running. |
3.
Change the site address in the configuration file of this software.
Open the following file in a text editor.
%ProgramFiles%\Canon\EMC\Manager\ManagementConsoleService.exe.config
Edit the following key value. Specify an IP address or FQDN (fully qualified domain name).
<add key="SiteAddress" value="<IP address or FQDN>" />
NOTE |
If the IP address may be subject to change, it is recommended that you specify the FQDN (fully qualified domain name). |
When the Manager and Agent are running on the same computer, perform the following operation.
Open the following file in a text editor.
%ProgramFiles%\Canon\EMC\Manager\agent\app_data\configs.json
Overwrite the IP address or FQDN of the Manager specified as the value for "HostUrl" with the new value, and save the file.

When Changing Port Numbers
You can change the port numbers used by this software, as required.
For details on the port numbers that can be changed and the intended uses of each port, see the following.
IMPORTANT |
When the Manager and Agent are operating on different computers, do not change the HTTPS port number of the computer where the Manager is running and the HTTPS port number of the computer where the Agent is running at the same time. Doing so will prevent the Manager and Agent from communicating, and this software will not operate correctly.
When it is necessary to change both at the same time, change one first, confirm that the Manager and Agent are communicating, and then change the other. |
1.
On the [System] menu > [Agents] page, confirm that the Manager is correctly communicating with all the Agents.
