To add a device to the Manager:
1. Make sure that the device you want to add is running, and is not in sleep/energy save mode.
2. In the Administration Console, on the Ribbon, click Add Device. You can also select Devices on the Welcome
page and then right-click in the Device Configuration pane and select Add Device. The Add Devices window
opens. The window displays available eCopy-enabled devices along with informationsuch as the host name,
the IP Address, the vendor, Client software version, and the Manager that is currently managing the device.
3. If a device that you want to add does not appear in the list of available devices, select a protocol in the
Discovery list and then click Refresh.
4. Select the device or devices that you want to add and then click OK.
5. When the system prompts you to confirm the device that you want to add to the device list, click OK.
Troubleshooting tip: If your device(s) cannot be discovered and are not shown in the list on the Add device
dialog with any of the protocols, then make sure that:
l The device is up and running.
l It is connected to the network (use the ping <IP-address> command in a command window).
l In case of non-web based devices, the ShareScan client software is installed and enabled (running).
l The required ports are open on the firewalls/routers.
Note:
The automatic device discovery is only supported via UDP. If the autodiscovery does not succeed, use TCP/IP to add
the device manually.
