Overview

The Remote Management Server Setup feature allows the printer to detect, and communicate with one or more remote management servers in the network The remote management servers can be Xerox CentreWare Web, Xerox Device Manager, or other Xerox partner servers. The Remote Management Server Setup feature is enabled by default The setup feature uses industry standard DNS mechanisms to locate management servers in the network Ensure that you set up DNS server addresses on the printer The simplest way to set up DNS is to use DHCP, at least temporarily.When the printer is set up, you can switch to a DHCP reserved address, or a static IP address. The feature uses the Xerox Discovery Service to detect the remote-management servers To detect the remote-management server, the feature queries your DNS server. The service discovery runs after the printer starts, or when you request that the printer performs the discovery. For more information on setting up the Xerox Discovery Service in DNS, refer to the Xerox website. Configure a Remote Management Server Connection The feature searches for a server called XeroxDiscoverService in the same network domain as the printer, for example yourdomain.com If you have only one remote-management server in your network, name the remote-management server XeroxDiscoverService.yourdomain.com in your DNS servers. The Remote Management Server Setup feature looks for a server with an alias address For example, if the remote-management server is called server1.yourdomain.com, create a DNS alias XeroxDiscoverService.yourdomain.com Use the alias to refer to server1.yourdomain.com. The feature looks in DNS for DNS-SD records DNS-SD records are DNS text records that contain service discovery keywords The DNS server can have many remote-management servers listed with a XeroxDiscoverService keyword DNS returns the server list to the printer The printer works down the list of up to 10 servers, then attempts to check in to all of them. If your DNS servers do not have DNS-SD records, enter the remote-management server address using an IP address, host name, or IPv6 address.

In the Embedded Web Server, click Properties → General Setup → Remote management server setup . For Enablement, select Enabled . To discover a management server, click Discover servers . If needed, to enter the remote-management server address manually, for Server address, enter the IP address, host name, or IPv6 address.
