Broadcast Discovery

Discover devices via broadcast search. You can configure the following settings in a broadcast discovery.

Access account to be used
Broadcast discovery range
Set a scheduled broadcast discovery
Configure automatic settings
Limit discovery to Ricoh devices only

If you are attempting to reach external network segments other than the segment to which the Delegation Server belongs, modify your router settings to enable broadcast.

The discovery can detect devices that support Printer MIB v2 (RFC 3805), Printer MIB (RFC 1759), MIB-II (RFC 1213), or Host Resource MIB (RFC 2790).

To create a broadcast discovery profile, follow the steps below:

Go to [Discovery & Polling] → [Discovery] then select [Broadcast].
Click (Add).
Enter the name and description on the [General] tab.
Select the Delegation Server to be the target of discovery.
Select [Perform Reverse DNS Lookup] to identify the host name of the device.
Enable [Ricoh Devices Only] to limit discovery to Ricoh manufactured devices.
Select the Security Group Context.

The security group items are displayed when the group restriction function is enabled in the security settings, and you can restrict the device group to be specified for the template target.

For the security group context, refer to Configure Group Restrictions.

Go to the [Access Accounts] tab and configure the account to be used to access the device when performing device discovery.

Move the account to be used from the [Not Assigned Accounts] list to the [Assigned Account] list by clicking the arrow up button or dragging and dropping.

There are three types of [Access Accounts] as shown in the following table. Each account type is displayed by a tab.

Tab name	Description
Device Administrator Access	Displays the access account that is used in Web service protocol.
SNMP Access	Displays the access account that is used for SNMP.
