4.5. SMart eSolutions

SMart eSolutions provides the ability to automatically send data to Xerox to be used for billing (Meter Assistant) and

toner replenishment (Supplies Assistant). The Systems Administrator sets up the attributes for the service via the

Web UI, including enable/disable participation in SMart eSolutions, and time of day for the daily polling to the Xerox

Communication Server. The device can be set to communicate via a proxy server on the customer's network. The

proxy server may be set to auto detect proxy settings or to manually set proxy address using the Web UI.

Meter Assistant

Once the connection with the Xerox Communication Server has been established, the Meter Assistant service will poll

the Xerox Communication server daily over the network. The server will check whether it is time in the billing cycle to

update the meter readings. If so, the server will request reads from the device, and the device will then respond by

sending the meter reads back to the server.

Supplies Assistant

Once the connection with the Xerox Communication Server has been established, the Supplies Assistant service will

be automatically enabled by request from the Xerox Communication Server. The device will then automatically send

supplies data over the network to the Xerox Communication server at a regular interval.

Maintenance Assistant

Once the connection with the Xerox Communication Server has been established, the Maintenance Assistant service

will be automatically enabled by request from the Xerox Communication Server. The device will then automatically

send device fault codes and log data over the network to the Xerox Communication server at a regular interval.

Summary

The SMart eSolutions communication process means that the device initiates all communication between it and

Xerox. Only device ID, device configuration, current firmware versions, meter read and supplies information is

transferred. The information is sent encrypted using https (SSL).

When enabled by the customer at the Web UI, the controller disk is encrypted using the AES algorithm with a 256-bit

key. The key is generated dynamically on each boot, and is kept only in volatile memory.
