Initial Configuration

SLNX offers a total solution for secure and large-scale, integrated management of devices. In addition to providing remote management of device settings, monitoring of devices, and output of reports, SLNX can also expand the print and scan functionality of devices.

SLNX requires internet access to communicate with the RICOH Software Server to obtain software and firmware updates and to the RICOH Activation Server to perform product activation. If necessary for security purposes, you can restrict the use of SLNX so that it does not access the internet beyond the firewall.

After the installation of SLNX is completed, configure the basic system settings as shown below.
