each role is permitted. Privileges for all roles can be edited, except for the

Administrators role. The default users are Administrator and Guest.

There are different sets of privileges for each default role. The Administrators

role is assigned all privileges by default. These privileges include options to edit

Administration and Device Manager consoles.

group from which the subscription is inherited is shown in parenthesis.

Alert e-mails can be sent to any user. The application allows Subscribers, as

well as Administrators and Help Desk users. Subscribers do not have access

Networks and Agents

With Networks and Agents, you can create device networks on both IPv4 and

IPv6. (IPv4 is the default selection.) Properties can be displayed for the selected

network, and discovery of printing devices can be started or stopped for one or

more networks. Once multiple networks have been added, using the Select All

button removes or changes the discovery mode for all networks at once.

For remote agents, install the agent remotely and save the agent details on the

server. Once installed and registered, the remote agent can be reused for other

networks and appears in the Add Network wizard. Network discovery is started

through the assigned agent.

To ensure secure communication, the time setting must be no more than 1

minute apart on server and agent computers. For computers in different time

zones, use a global time server or domain time server to ensure synchronized

time settings.

Adding Networks

The Add Network wizard provides a quick method for adding new networks.

In the navigation area, select Preferences > Networks and agents.

Click the Add Network icon.

In the Add Network wizard dialog box, type an alias for the network. If the Alias

text box is left blank, the network IP address is used as the alias. If the

application server is multihomed, you can choose and name a local network.

Type the address for the IPv4 or IPv6 network.

Adding an IPv4 Network

You can add an IPv4 network. Editing the network address or subnet mask may

create an orphan device.

Type the IPv4 network IP Address. You can edit this field for all networks

except the local network, or local networks if the server is multihomed.

Select the Subnet Mask from the list. Devices belong to a network based on the

network range, not on the subnet of the device. For example, if the network

address is 10.10.8.0, then 255.255.252.0 will contain any device with an IP

address from 10.10.8.1 through 10.10.11.254. If you add a network address of

10.10.9.0 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, then devices from 10.10.9.1

through 10.10.9.254 will appear on both networks.

2-5 User Guide

Administration

Click Next to proceed to the Select an Agent page.

Adding an IPv6 Network

You can add an IPv6 network. IPv6 options are not available if the IPv6 protocol

is disabled or not supported on the server. Specify as much of the specific

address and prefix as necessary to discover your device. The application uses a

one-by-one discovery method for IPv6 addresses.

For example, in prefix 64 networks, to discover a device with the network

address fd80:39f0:a2ae:82a:0:0:0:0150, it is sufficient to type the address as

fd80:39f0:a2ae:82a:0:0:0:0100, and select 120 as the prefix. The discovery

process will cover the range of the following addresses, and the device will be

added:

Start IP: fd80:39f0:a2ae:82a:0:0:0:0100

End IP: fd80:39f0:a2ae:82a:0:0:0:01FF

Type the IPv6 network IP Address, for example,

fd80:39f0:a2ae:82a:0:0:0:0100.

Select the Prefix for the network address. The prefix is an analog of the IPv4

subnet mask. Prefixes in the list range from 112 to 127. The default selection is

120.

For example, prefix 120 is selected. The first 120 bits then defines the subnet

mask of the network. (Prefix 120 is the same as the

ffff::fffff:fffff:fffff:fffff:fffff:ffff:ff00 IPv6 mask.)

Click Next to proceed to the Select an Agent page.

Preparing Windows XP to Install a Remote Agent

Computer > Tools > Folder options.

In the Folder Options dialog box, click View.

Under Advanced Settings, clear the Use simple file sharing

(Recommended) check box.
