Meterassistant - Xerox 4112 System Administration Manual

MeterAssistant

MeterAssistant allows the System Administrator to set up, view, and access the automatic
billing meter information by eliminating the manual steps involved in collecting and reporting
meter reads.
Once enabled, MeterAssistant provides the device's billing meters to Xerox Billing over the
Internet with minimal human interaction.

Note
All communications between your Xerox 4112/4127 machine and Xerox Billing is
conducted through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocols and 128-bit encryption to keep
information locked from all unauthorized viewers. By enabling the MeterAssistant feature
on your Xerox 4112/4127 device, you are simply allowing your device to automatically
submit billing meter information on a periodic basis to Xerox Billing as agreed upon in the
"Terms and Conditions." Xerox is NOT accessing your private data, or probing your device.
Only information pertaining to your system's billing meters is actively transferred; no job
data or other private information is transmitted.
If your machine has an Integrated Controller ONLY, then all you need to do is sign up for
this application.
If you have a third-party controller such as EFI Fiery or Xerox FreeFlow Print Services, you
MUST have:
• Two drops/ports for two separate internet connections
• Two IP addresses (one for the machine and one for the controller); MeterAssistant uses
the machine's IP address to obtain billing meter information
Note
Existing customers of the Xerox 4112/4127 Family can perform the eligibility test as listed
