6.1.2 Configuring Remote Services

NOTE
Refer to Appendix D.1 Troubleshooting Remote Services Problems if difficulties are encountered in this
section.

__1. If this is a Xerox site (e.g., training centers, customer support centers), go to Appendix D.2, Using
Remote Services at Xerox Sites at this time. Do not continue with Step 2 until the type of product
license has been determined.

NOTE
Remote Services may also be initiated by typing the following command in a terminal window:
/opt/XRXnps/XRXrs/clientStart <↵>

__2. To open Remote Services, select the Remote Services icon in the upper-right corner of the FreeFlow
Print Server GUI. The Remote Services Home window is displayed. A short delay (~30 seconds) may
occur before the window open.
__3. If the Registration window opens automatically, minimize it at this time. It is not needed until later in
the procedure.
__4. Select [Setup] at the bottom of the Remote Services Home window. The Setup window is displayed.
__5. Enter the Print Engine Serial Number, and then select [Apply New Settings]. The three digit Product
Code must be appended to the front of the Serial Number. All letters must be entered as
UPPERCASE. Do not enter spaces or dashes.
Examples: PYW123456 (NASG) 1121234567 (XE/DMO)
__6. Record the Host ID and Print Engine Serial Number at this time. This information will be required at
a later time if the customer decides to register Remote Services from an alternate location
Host ID: ____________ Serial Number: _____________________
__7. Select [Network Settings] to display the Network Settings window.
__8. Check the Remote Services Installation Worksheet W-11 from the Getting Ready for FreeFlow Print
Server Installation document. If a firewall or proxy is used to access the Internet, enter the Server
Address (Worksheet W-11 Item 6) and Port (Worksheet W-11 Item 2) of the HTTP Proxy. Leave
these fields blank if the customer does not use a firewall or proxy.
__9. Check the Installation Worksheet W-11 Item 5. If a firewall/proxy is used to access the Internet and
requires a User Name (Worksheet W-11 Item 6) and Password (Worksheet W-11 Item 6), enter
them now. Leave these fields blank if a firewall/proxy is not used.
__10. If changes were made on the Network Settings window, select [Apply New Settings]. Select
[Verify Connection] to determine if Remote Services can connect to the Xerox Servers. If the
connection fails check the network settings are correct, and if required see Appendix D.1
Troubleshooting Remote Services.
__11. Select [Home] to display the Remote Services Home Window.
6.1.3 Remote Services Registration and Acceptance

NOTE
Ensure that the customer registers the Remote Services feature at this time. The customer MUST accept
the Terms & Conditions of the Remote Services offering before the feature can be activated. If desired, the
customer may register Remote Services from any Internet-connected computer at:

D.2 Using Remote Services at Xerox Sites

Caution
Information in this procedure is for internal installations only. It is not intended for general field use.

By default, Remote Services will assume that the product has a production license issued by Xerox
Document & Support Services (XDSS). Sometimes, however, a Xerox site such as a training center or
customer support center is issued an internal test license from a different database than the one used by
XDSS. If a product has been issued an internal test license, Remote Services will not function properly until
it has been reconfigured.
If you know for certain that the product’s license was issued by XDSS, continue with the setup and
configuration procedure. The following steps are not applicable.
If you are uncertain as to the type of license installed on the product, determine the license type using the
License Validation Tool.

NOTE
Use of the validation tool requires access to the Xerox Intranet.

Determining the License Type


Run the License Validation Tool and follow the instructions provided on the screen. The tool is available at
the following website:
http://xww.softwarelicensing.world.xerox.com/internal/RSVerifyRegistration/

License Validation Tool for Internal Installations Only

If you are unable to access the License Validation Tool, call the Xerox License Center and verify that the
license was issued by them. Write down the Host ID and Serial Number before placing the call.
NASG (US & Canada): 800-890-3260 XE: 44 1707 352668
Internal Test Licenses are issued by the engineering teams supporting each product. If an internal license
has expired, or other difficulties are encountered, escalate problem through normal channels.
Reconfiguring Remote Services for an Internal Test License
If the product has an internal test license, complete the following steps BEFORE starting Section 6.1.1 of
this guide:

__1. At the FreeFlow Print Server, open a Terminal window and login as root.

FreeFlow Print Server Installation Guide for Version 7.0 SP-2 45


Xerox 4590/4595, 4112/4127 with U20 M2 DFE Appendix D: Remote Services

__2. Type the following command: /opt/XRXnps/XRXrs/bin/serverReconfig.sh psi <↵>


__3. Close the window when the command finishes its execution.
__4. Return to Section 6 and continue with the setup and configuration procedure.

NOTE
Make every attempt to register Remote Services from the product UI. If it is necessary to register from
another computer, DO NOT use the registration url shown in Sect 6.1.3 (it is for registering products with a
production license). Products with an internal test license must use the following registration site:
