Smart eSolutions (Meter Assistant and Supplies
Assistant)
Select this feature in Internet Services to access and set up automatic billing meter reading and automatic
machine supplies reporting. Note that this feature may currently be available only in the U.S.A.
Information Checklist
Make sure that you have an account on Xerox.com. Add all devices in inventory that you wish to register
for Automatic Meter Readings to your account. This is supported by Dallas eSupport 888-998-9922.
TCP/IP and HTTP protocols must be enabled on the device so that the device web browser can be
accessed (for Device Direct registration, described in this procedure).
To use the optional Smart eSolutions Windows Client or CentreWare Web, you will need to enable SNMP
as stated in this guide. For full information on these applications, visit www.xerox.com/smartesolutions.
At Your Workstation
1. Open your Web Browser and enter the TCP/IP address of the machine in the Address or Location field
and press Enter.
2. Click the Properties tab.
3. Click the symbol to the left of General Setup.
4. Click the symbol to the left of Smart eSolutions.
5. Click Registration.
6. Click Enable Proxy Server. Note: If your network does not require a Proxy Server, you can skip to
step 13 below. You will, however, need to have DNS settings enabled (see TCP/IP Protocol
Configuration in this guide).
7. Place a check mark in the Use Proxy Server box.
8. In the Addresses to Bypass Proxy Server box, enter in up to 1024 characters of IP addresses, fully
qualified host names, or wildcard host names (such as *.eng), separated by semicolons. Functioning
like the local address exception list in a typical web browser, these addresses will be permitted to
bypass the Proxy Server.
9. For the HTTP or HTTPS Server Names, provide a name of up to 255 characters in length for one or
both of these Proxy Servers. A fully qualified domain name or IP address can be used. Note: Make
sure that DNS is enabled as stated in the TCP/IP Protocol Configuration topic in the NOS Selection
section of this guide.
10. Leave the Port Number set to 8080 (the IANA recognized proxy port) unless you are using a different
port number.
11. Click Apply and supply the administrator User Name and Password, if prompted. The default is 11111
and x-admin.
12. If necessary to see the list of Registration hot links again, click your browser Back button.
13. Click Register with Xerox Communication Server to register this device with the Xerox
Communication Server (Edge Host), which enables the automatic billing meter reading service. After
registration, the device will poll the Edge Host routinely, and send meter readings only in response to
requests from the Edge Host.
