Reboot a Device

You can create a task to reboot a device according to a preset schedule.

To execute a reboot, the following access account is required according to the target device.

  • Device Administrator Account: Ricoh devices of models 2007 to 2011 or 2012 and later
  • SNMP account: Devices other than above

For the device models, refer to List of Supported Models and Functions.

  1. Go to [Configuration] → [Configuration Tasks].

  2. Click (Add).

  3. Enter the name and description on the [General] tab.

When Group Restrictions are enabled in the security settings, the Security Group Context item is displayed, and restrictions are applied to the device group that is the target of the template.

For details about the Security Group Context, refer to Configure Group Restrictions.

  1. Select [Reboot] for the type of operation.

You cannot run a Reboot task and configuration templates at the same time. Therefore, when you select [Reboot], the [Template] tab is disabled and removed from view.

    1. Click (Add Group) or (Add Device).

    2. Select and add the target devices or groups to the [Target Device] or [Target Groups] list, and then click (OK).

  1. On the [Schedule] tab, configure the date, time, and interval to reboot the device.

If you select [Once Only] as the schedule type, the task will run when you click the (Save) button.

To specify a time period that is exempt from the task, select the [Advanced Settings] check box.

  1. On the [Notification] tab, specify whether or not to receive a notification when a task is completed.

Specify either Input Email Address Manually or Select Destination.

You can select the destination from the e-mail destinations configured in [System] → [Notifications] → [Notify to]. For details, refer to Create a Destination.

  1. Click (Save) when the settings are completed. Click (Run Immediately) to execute the task immediately.

Execute a configuration task at times other than business hours whenever possible.

If 213 and 214 errors occur in the task log after executing a configuration task, reboot the corresponding device immediately.
