a

To set the simulator to discovery mode, type

0

for both “Number of MFPs” and Repetitions fields.

b

Click

to save the test profile, and then click

to start the simulator in discovery mode.

c

Make sure the LDD system is online.

d

Upload the solution to be tested in LMC.

e

Add the performance simulator to a device group in LMC, and then discover it.

Note:

The IP address of the simulator is the IP address of the computer where it is running. This address

appears in the Client IP field in the MFP Simulator configuration window.

f

Deploy the solution and modify the home screen for the device group as necessary, and then perform a policy

update.

g

Click

to stop the simulator.

6

Type the number of MFPs to simulate.

7

Type the number of repetitions for the test.

8

In the Scan File field, browse to a TIFF, JPEG, PDF or PostScript file to use in simulating a scan task.

9

If necessary, configure advanced settings, including any answers to prompts that should be different than the

default. For more information, see “Configuring advanced properties” on page 54.

10

To create a log during the test in Log4J, select

Enable UI Logging

.

11

Click

to save the test profile, and then click

to start testing.

You can stop a test that is still in progress by clicking

.

Configuring advanced properties

Several advanced properties for the performance simulator, including custom prompt answers, are found on the

Advanced tab of the MFP Simulator configuration window. Some properties also appear as fields on the Configuration

tab. The selection of

E

‑

Task2

or

E

‑

Task

on the Configuration tab determines whether the Advanced (e

‑

Task 2) or Basic

(e

‑

Task) properties are used.

To save the test configuration after modifying advanced properties, click

.

Simulator properties

Property

Description

Default

serverAddress

The IP address or host name of the LDD system

None

profileName

The profile to run on the LDD system

Note:

The profile name refers to a Device Profile created using the Device Policy Editor in the

solution. A list of profiles can also be found in the

Profiles

task for the relevant device group

in LMC.

None

cancelProbability

The probability that the profile will be canceled, expressed as a decimal between

0

and

1

. In

repetitive testing and testing on multiple printers, the profile is canceled for the specified

percentage of the tests, with canceled tests randomly selected. When the application

determines that a particular test will be canceled, a random prompt is selected within that test

for the point of cancellation. The setting

0

specifies that no tests are canceled, and the setting

1

indicates that every test is canceled at a random prompt.
