    attributes and each has a unique pre-defined name recognized by PSV, i.e. "SNMPv3_Username". Distinct attribute values can be saved for each compatible printer. Attributes can also be saved and shared by all compatible devices. Attributes shared in this way are called common attributes. The steps to

    To delete a value from the PSV database, click on the "X" next to the value in the Attribute Value column. Note that common attributes have preference over individual attributes. If both common and individual attributes are defined in the database, the common attribute will be displayed and used. 70

    to all devices selected in the "Print Device" list. By selecting "All Compatible", PSV will apply all attributes from the database to all devices that support the selected form. If "All Forms" is selected for Config Form, the program will apply changes to all forms that match. If "All" is selected

    Click the Set Selected Devices from Attributes button and PSV will apply changes only to the devices that have the checkbox checked next to the IP address. To verify that the new values have been configured in the device, click the Get Values from Devices button. The attribute values should be

    Sample Configuration Exercise: In this example the goal is to set all network protocols that are not used to disabled, and to set SNMP v3 enabled along with SNMP v1 and v2. The first step is to select a print device. The attributes we are interested in are part of the "Network -> Basic Setup" form.

    Configuring Scan Profiles: Many OKI MFPs have the ability to use "scan profiles" which instruct the device to send scanned documents to shared folders, FTP and HTTP resources. Scan Profiles can be created and configured from the device's embedded web
  • Oki B430d-beige | PrintSuperVision 4.0 User Guide - Page 79
    Method 1: The "Common Attributes Template" method The first step to method 1 is to configure a Scan Profile on a target device by accessing and using the devices embedded web page. Login to the device web page with username: root and default password: aaaaaa. Select Scanner Menu, click Scan to
  • Oki B430d-beige | PrintSuperVision 4.0 User Guide - Page 80
    Getting and Setting a Scan Profile to one MFP device: The second step is to acquire the scan profile configuration values from the target machine using PSV. In this example the scan profile values will be applied to one device. The next section will describe applying the values to many devices.
  • Oki B430d-beige | PrintSuperVision 4.0 User Guide - Page 81
    Configuring Scan profiles to several devices: Before describing how to apply a scan profile to many devices, a short discussion on common attributes is needed. Common Attributes for MFP Scan Profiles When multiple devices are sending scan files to the same (FTP or CIFS) share server, it is usually

    a new value to the selected device. Select "All Compatible" devices and apply, and they will all be configured. Besides {ADDRESS}, the system supports {NAME} and {LOCATION} properties, and any other attribute that can be assigned to print devices as described in previous sections of this document

    Editing Common Scan Profiles and Attributes To modify a Common Scan Profile template, click on Edit Common link. Expand text box next to "Scan_Profiles", edit CSV text, and click Save. Note: that "Common Attributes" can include any name-value pair. You can add at the bottom of the form both new name

    The rows that have a '*' in the 'Address' column will apply to all devices that do not have Scan Profiles with same 'EntryNumber' already defined. Please observe that rows are trimmed for clarity: Address,EntryNumber,Name,Protocol,TargetURL,PortNumber,... *,#01,ftp_01,FTP,//{FTP_SERVER}/scan/01/{
