Remote panel Tool KM

[miesjel]

Hello!

Im trying to setup remote panel tool for our support. I've configured the server as told in the manual, placed the server in DMZ (seperate from our corporate network). We can acces the server perfectly with the client software on the desktops. those are configured with the external IP address for the DMZ. (thats a separete internet connection).

Now when i try to connect an MFP with it, it just wont connect. It gives an error when pressing start (could connect). I saw some settings for Certificate Verification level settings, i believe thats the part where it goes wrong. I've setup the external serveraddress (under client), turned it on offcourse, portnumber is correct, no proxy.

It worked when the server was in the same netwerk but now im getting trouble. What are the correct settings for the MFP? We use a Self-Signed certificate with IIS7.

thanks in advance!

Michel

Hello

Thank you for the reply!

Thats not exactly what i was looking for. Its okay for our network. But we use this for remote support, like teamviewer. In order to get it working we had to set up a server, so we did. I tested it here and it works. Instead of server in the MFP you use client. Now for security reasons we placed inside DMZ and made it accesible from the internet. The only ting we have to do now is connecting the printers to that server. On the network side everything is double checked and checked again, thats working. The client software can access the server from everywhere outside the network so thats working.

I've added the manual i used to install all this.

I think the setting that you are looking for is as follows:

1. Web interface of copier
2. Login as Administrator
3. Security
4. Certificate Verification Setting
5. Turn off the Certificate Verification

I have had to do this before with these machines when getting them to embed with PaperCut. Because the server had a self signed certificate installed, the machine didn't automatically trust the certificate and therefore wouldn't connect.

Try turning this setting off and see if it helps. If it does, then you might just want to spend the $60 odd bucks and get a CA certificate (signed via a trusted Certificate Authority) which would save having to change every machine.

Re: Remote panel Tool KM

If you are already using teamviewer to access local work stations externally, why not just access the terminal that does connect to Remote Panel locally through Teamviewer from your help desk and connect that way? Once the copier is set up and actually working it wouldn't be very often you would have to be remoting into it anyway. Just a thought.

Re: Remote panel Tool KM

We recieve a lot of questions regarding settings en how to setup stuff. Also is it possible to access the Service Mode via this screen, wich can be usefull. I dont want to drive 100 km to change one setting en drive back.

WOW! Thanks for that information. I've been trying for hours now ... but absolutely nowhere in any of the manuals was the information about the correct URL (.../panel/top.html).

Re: Remote panel Tool KM

If you're remoting on the client's PC through TeamViewer, why don't you just open their browser and pull up the machine's web interface.

I'm confused.

Re: Remote panel Tool KM

Does anyone know the name of the corresponding -Server- application (in order to use the client setting on those machines)?

Re: Remote panel Tool KM

@JR2ALTA, i dont want to work via someone elses computer. Not every customer wants that.



Its called to Konica Minolta remote Panel tool. You can get it when you are an ASP.

Re: Remote panel Tool KM

Every manual is referring to the manual of the corresponding MFP, but the manuals on the CD (deliverd with the MFP) show nothing about the remote panel config.
