10.1 RDS

10.1.1 Overview

Product Overview
Embedded RDS (henceforth: e-RDS) is the front-end module of e-Maintenance embedded with a network module of a device controller.
Product Package Configuration
Embedded with a network module of a device.
Features
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)

10.1.2 Application Operation Mode

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'.)

10.1.3 Communication Test

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.

10.1.4 Communication Log

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)

10.1.5 Detail of Communication Log

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

10.1.6 Initialization of e-RDS

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.
(As for deletion of certificate, see 'CA certificate'.)

10.1.7 SOAP Communication Function

Following processings are enabled by use of SOAP communication (SSL client communication).
Server authentication is performed by use of CA*1 certificate issued by VeriSign.
In case the server certificate or CA certificate is expired, the device is not connected to UGW.
