Make Sure SMart eSolutions is Setup Correctly. Configure the Proxy Server, and Create a Machine Digital Certificate (if Required) Using CentreWare Internet Services (CWIS)

IMPORTANT: Auto Supplies Replenishment (ASR) requires device connectivity. If a device loses connectivity, ASR will cease and the customer will need to place manual supplies orders. Once connectivity is reestablished, the process for automatic delivery of supplies is re-initiated in Europe with no further customer intervention. In US and Canada, ASR will resume once a manual order (phone or web) is placed after reconnection. For questions regarding ASR, contact your regional metered supplies help desk.

NOTE: Users may be required to login as a System Administrator to view or modify settings within CWIS. If prompted, login using the System Administrator username and password. The default username is "admin", and the default password is "1111".

1. From a computer, open an Internet browser window.
2. Enter the IP address of the machine in the Address field, and then press [Enter] on the keyboard. The CentreWare Internet Services Description and Alerts page will be displayed.
   
   NOTE: The IP address of the machine can be found in the Description & Alerts section and also on the Configuration Report.
   
   
3. Click on the [Properties] tab to open the Configuration Overview page.
4. View the status displayed for SMart eSolutions in the Connectivity and Printing area.
   • If a "Fully Configured and Communicating with Xerox" message is displayed, the setup has been successful. No further action is required.
   • If a "Communication Failure" message is displayed, continue with step 5.
     
     NOTE: Communication failure may be due to the use of a proxy server for Internet access. The proxy server must be setup to allow SMart eSolutions.
     
     
5. Click on [General Setup] on the left side of the page, and then click on [SMart eSolutions Setup].
6. If a proxy server is not required, skip to step 13.  When a proxy server is required for your network:
   • If "Not Configured" is displayed for the HTTP Proxy Server, continue with step 7.
   • If "Configured" is displayed for the HTTP Proxy Server, skip to step 13.
7. Click on the [Configure] button in the Communication Setup area. The Proxy Server window will be displayed.
   
   NOTE: Machines cannot be connected directly with a proxy server that requires authorization or authentication (login and/or password). If authorization or authentication is required, proxy connectivity software, Xerox Device Agent (XDA) or CentreWare Web must be used.
   
   To access the required software download link(s) and documentation, go to the Xerox SMart eSolutions website. See the Related Content for additional information.
