Canon imageRUNNER Knowledge Module for PATROL 13
Discovering Non-Canon Devices 0
You can better refine the discovery process by including or not including
other standard MIB devices not manufactured by Canon. Specify your
choice based on whether you want to broaden the discovery process
beyond Canon devices, or to focus the discovery on only Canon devices.
Managing a Maximum Number of Devices 0
To further refine the discovery process, you specify the maximum
number of devices you want to manage. Since each managed device uses
system resources, this setting enables you to preserve system resources
during the discovery process, by limiting the number of devices to be
managed.
For example, since each managed device requires approximately 3MB of
memory, managing a large number of devices may quickly deplete
available memory, which in turn may cause system performance
problems. Therefore, you may want to monitor your available memory, to
assess the impact of increasing the number of managed devices.
Manually Starting and Stopping the Discovery Cycle 0
If you did not set the discovery process to run automatically, you need to
start the discovery cycle manually. Once started, you can manually stop
the cycle as needed.
If you set the discovery process to run automatically, the discovery cycle
starts automatically at the specified time interval. However, you can stop
the discovery cycle once it starts. Once stopped, you can manually start
the discovery cycle again.
To start a discovery cycle that has not started or was stopped:
Under Settings, click Start Discovery.
To stop a discovery cycle that started (automatically or manually):
Under Settings, click Stop Discovery.
