Monitoring Locally Connected Devices
PSV allows you to monitor Oki devices that are connected to laptops or desktops
via USB rather than connected directly to the network.
Local monitoring is achieved by installing the PSV Agent on each client that has a
locally connected Oki device. The agent consists of a Windows Service that
monitors local print devices connected through USB ports. The PSV Agent
periodically collects management data from the device and sends it to a PSV
Enterprise server. The agent reports alert conditions, supply levels and page
counts just as if the device was directly connected to the network.
The agent supports all popular Windows operating systems including Win XP, Vista,
Windows 7, Server 2003, Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2.
Installing the PSV Agent: Option 1
The PSV Agent can be installed individually at each desktop or laptop computer or
can be pushed down to each PC using command line installation.
To install the PSV Agent:
1.
Copy the PSV Agent file to the system
–
for example: Oki-PSVAgent-3-1-0-
21.exe. If the file name extension is not .exe, change the extension to .exe.
2.
Launch the EXE
If PSV Agent is already installed in the system, the installer will upgrade the Agent
version keeping the existing configuration parameters.
The Agent is packaged as a self-installing .exe and can be invoked with command
line arguments in silent mode for batch installation on large numbers of computers.
The command line options for the Agent installer include:
/S
silent mode
/url=”http://myserver/psv/”
address of PSV server to send data to
(required)
(can be https)
/interval=60
number of minutes between sending data to
server (optional)
