Monitoring Locally Connected Devices PSV allows you to monitor Oki devices that are connected to laptops or desktops via USB rather than connected directly to the network. Local monitoring is achieved by installing the PSV Agent on each client that has a locally connected Oki device. The agent consists of a Windows Service that monitors local print devices connected through USB ports. The PSV Agent periodically collects management data from the device and sends it to a PSV Enterprise server. The agent reports alert conditions, supply levels and page counts just as if the device was directly connected to the network. The agent supports all popular Windows operating systems including Win XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Server 2003, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 and Server 2012.
