FAQ

No.1
Q: In what case does a communication test with UGW fail?
A: The following cases can be considered in the becoming "Could not execute." case.
1. Name resolution was failed due to an incorrect host name or DNS server has been
halted.
2. Network cable is blocked off.
3. Proxy server settings is not correct.
No.2
Q: I want to know the interval of data transmitting from E-RDS to the UGW, and what data
size is sent to the UGW?
A: The schedule of data transmitting, the start time are determined by settings in the UGW
side. The timing is once per 16 hours by default, and counter data volume could be maximum
250 bytes.
No.3
Q: Does error-retry carry out at the time of a communication error with the UGW?
A: Retry of SOAP communication is performed as follows.
• In the case of an error in SOAP communication (i.e. a trouble at UGW side) at transmission
of the alarm code list and the service mode counter (postAlert) due to change of device
status, the data failed in transmission equivalent to 3 retries is to be stored in the
RAMDISC. In the case of anther transmission error (the 4th error), the oldest data of the
stored data is deleted and the newly-generated retry data is stored in the RAMDISC.
• In the case of SOAP transmission errors as described below, the unsent (and remaining)
data is sent again depending on the storage status of CPCA data:
• At transmission of a jam log and service mode counter (postJamLog) when the jam
log was obtained from the device.
• At transmission of a service call log and service mode counter (postServiceCallLog)
when the service log was obtained from the device.
• At transmission of an alarm log and service mode counter (postAlarmLog) when the
alarm log was obtained from the device.
NOTE:
• The retry data will be sent at interval of 5*n minutes. (n: retries, 5, 10, 15 minutes...up to
30 minutes)
• HDD is not installed in this device; even after the power is turned OFF/ON, postAlert,
postJamLog, postServiceCallLog, postAlarmLog will not be resent.

No.4
Q: How many log-data can be stored?
A: Up to 5 log data can be saved. The data size of error information is maximum 128
characters.
No.5
Q: Although Microsoft ISA as a proxy server is introduced, the authentication check is failed.
Can E-RDS adopt with Microsoft ISA?
A: E-RDS must comply with "Basic" while "Integrated" authentication is used for Microsoft
ISA (as default); therefore, authentication with E-RDS is available if you change the setting to
"Basic" authentication on the server.
No.6
Q: Can I turn the device power off during the e-Maintenance/ imageWARE Remote system
operation?
A: While operating the e-Maintenance/ imageWARE Remote system, the power of the device
must be ON. If power OFF is needed, do not leave the device power OFF for long time.
It will become "Device is busy, try later" errors if the power supply of network equipment such
as HUB is made prolonged OFF.
No.7
Q: Although a Service call error may not be notified to UGW, the reason is what?
A: If a service technician in charge turns off the power supply of a device immediately after
error occurred once, It may be unable to notify to UGW because data processing does not
take a time from the controller of the device to NIC though, the data will be saved on the
RAM.
If the power supply is blocked off while starting up, the data will be inevitably deleted.
No.8
Q: How does E-RDS operate while the device is placed in the sleep mode?
A: While being in Real Deep Sleep, and if data to be sent is in E-RDS, the system wakes up
asleep, then starts to send the data to the UGW. The system also waits for completion of data
transmission and let the device to shift to asleep status again.
However, transition time to the Real Deep Sleep depends on the device, and the transition to
sleep won't be done if the next data transmission will be done within 1 minute.
No.9
Q: Is E-RDS compatible with Department counter?
A: No, E-RDS does not support Department counter.
