Getting Prepared, Preparing the CSV file

Page 102 highlights

 Inspect them for current configuration  Find printer group associated with the subnet  Read desired static IP address for the subnet from the database as an attribute of associated printer group  Configure print device to desired static IP address  Update the database with new IP address of the device The tool can also inspect previously discovered devices that are already in the database, and update them based on attributes of related printer groups. Getting Prepared: Formulate a schema for setting IP address of connected network printers in each location. For example, the last octet of the subnet address of all printing devices will be 23 and it will have static IP address. Select the list of printers that need to be configured to the static IP address. If PSV is already used to discover and monitor the devices, use PSV Printers List and Printer Groups to create a list. Preparing the CSV file: Create a CSV file, which lists down the address range (referred to as subnet), in which Printer Model is to be searched. The first row must be the header row (case sensitive) and should contain the names for all attributes that are to be imported. A short description of the attributes required for configuring device settings follows:  "IP range": Defines the IP address range for a subnet. It is also used as name of the printer group associated with the subnet. The last octet contains the start (including) and end (including) addresses in the range. For example: 172.31.19.50-250 means from address 172.31.19.50 to address 172.31.19.250.  "PrinterIP": Attribute for desired static IP Address of the device. This value should be complete, for example: 123.45.67.89  "SubnetMask": Attribute for Subnet Mask to be set in the device, for example: 255.255.255.0  "DefaultGateway": Attribute for Default gateway to be set in the device. 102

Inspect them for current configuration
Find printer group associated with the subnet
Read desired static IP address for the subnet from the database as an attribute
of associated printer group
Configure print device to desired static IP address
Update the database with new IP address of the device
The tool can also inspect previously discovered devices that are already in the database,
and update them based on attributes of related printer groups.
Getting Prepared:
Formulate a schema for setting IP address of connected network printers in each location.
For example, the last octet of the subnet address of all printing devices will be 23 and it
will have static IP address.
Select the list of printers that need to be configured to the static IP address.
If PSV is
already used to discover and monitor the devices, use PSV Printers List and Printer Groups
to create a list.
Preparing the CSV file:
Create a CSV file, which lists down the address range (referred to as subnet), in which
Printer Model is to be searched.
The first row must be the header row (case sensitive) and should contain the names for all
attributes that are to be imported. A short description of the attributes
required
for
configuring device settings follows:
“IP
range”: Defines the IP address range for a subnet. It is also used as name of
the printer group associated with the subnet. The last octet contains the start
(including) and end (including) addresses in the range. For example:
172.31.19.50-250 means from address 172.31.19.50 to address 172.31.19.250.
“PrinterIP”: Attribute for desired static IP Address of the device.
This value
should be complete, for example: 123.45.67.89
“SubnetMask”: Attribute for Subnet Mask to be set in the device
, for example:
255.255.255.0
“DefaultGateway”: Attribute for Default gateway to be set in the device.
