OMPE architecture
OMPE is a web-based application deployed on a tomcat web server engine. It is
installed in a local server on an IPv4 LAN network with printers and other
components.
OMPE uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to discover printers.
It uses both SNMP and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to retrieve and set
printer parameters.
OMPE uses a private database to store information retrieved from printers,
settings, configuration and user data.
OMPE communicates with Dell Cloud Connect Server to retrieve printer
firmware files, templates, warranty information, online licensing and send
printer data if Dell Print Metering service is enabled. An internet connection is
required to communicate with Dell Cloud Connect Server.
