HP Imaging and Printing Security Center 2.0 - Instant-On Security

The device’s Announcement Message request includes device identity information, such
as; the MAC address, the IP address, model and the serial number. Upon initial
authenticated communication between the device and server, IPSC inserts this gathered
identity information into the database. See Figure 21. This identity information, specifically
the serial number, can now be used if the serial number filtering option is selected. Every
announcement scenario is handled in identical fashion to the initial device discovery
scenario. However, once the device is discovered, no further database entry occurs which
eliminates duplicate device entries.

Serial Number Filtering
Instant-On Security includes the ability to utilize serial numbers as a means of filtering the
devices that participate in the Instant-On process. See Figure 22. Serial numbers can be
singularly added or imported via a text file. With serial number filtering enabled, only the
devices whose serial numbers match a database entry in the Serial Number List table are
granted Instant-On processing. Figure 23 shows the two tables that require a serial number
match.
