e-RDS is embedded with a network module of a device controller, which works as a front-end module of e-Maintenance without any hardware other than device.

With use of e-RDS, device information such as counter information, failure information, consumables information of device controllers are transmitted to a back-

end server called Universal Gateway (centralized device information management host computer, henceforth: UGW) using SOAP protocol. (https(SSL) commu-

nication)

11.1.2 Application Operation Mode

iR1020J / iR1024J / iR1020 / iR1024 / iR1024A / iR1024N / iR1024F / iR1024i / iR1024iF

Whether to enable (ON) /disable (OFF) the Operation Mode is selectable by setting from e-RDS setting display from the service mode (E-RDS SWITCH).

- OFF (default) : e-RDS is disabled.

- ON : All e-RDS operations are enabled.

By setting from UGW, operations including counter transmission, log transmission, and alert transmission can be controlled.

Note that the communication test (COM-TEST) is required prior to start of e-RDS operation.

(For detail, see 'Settings of e-RDS'.)

11.1.3 Communication Test

iR1020J / iR1024J / iR1020 / iR1024 / iR1024A / iR1024N / iR1024F / iR1024i / iR1024iF

By implementing a communication test (COM-TEST) from the service mode, service technicians can test the connection of the device with UGW.

In case of a communication error, you can find its cause by referring to the communication error log.

e-RDS obtains the schedule information from UGW by performing COM-TEST.

The obtainment of the schedule information from UGW enables e-RDS to start its operation.

11.1.4 Communication Log

iR1020J / iR1024J / iR1020 / iR1024 / iR1024A / iR1024N / iR1024F / iR1024i / iR1024iF

In case of a communication error (such as proxy server error), error log is recorded (for 5 cases).

Error code and error information can be displayed on the control panel as a list (service mode: COM-LOG), and printed out as a report.

(service mode: #REPORT > #REPORT OUTPUT > ERDS COM LOG LIST)

11.1.5 Detail of Communication Log

iR1020J / iR1024J / iR1020 / iR1024 / iR1024A / iR1024N / iR1024F / iR1024i / iR1024iF

Error code and detail of the communication error log can be displayed on the control panel and printed out as a report.

11.1.6 Initialization of e-RDS

iR1020J / iR1024J / iR1020 / iR1024 / iR1024A / iR1024N / iR1024F / iR1024i / iR1024iF

e-RDS setting can be returned to the factory default.

Step

Initialize the e-RDS setting values using the service mode items below:

#CLEAR > ERDS-DAT

Initialized setting values and data

Followings are the setting values and internally used data that are initialized:

#E-RDS > E-RDS SWITCH

#E-RDS > RGW-PORT

#E-RDS > RGW-ADDRESS

#E-RDS > COM-LOG

Initialization of e-RDS resets all the port and address settings so that they are suitable for UGW, but does not reset the CA certificate data.

For this reason, in case a non-default CA certificate data is installed, you need to delete the certificate (installation of the default certificate) after initialization of

e-RDS.
