How can I ensure continuous service after initial resolution? Please be aware that connectivity for your automated meter management service may be lost if changes are made to your network, if your device is turned off, or if your device is moved to another part of your network. Connectivity can be confirmed via the user interface on your device. In most cases, communication issues may be resolved by amending information that may be incorrect or missing in your printer configuration settings. It is recommended that your IT department manages or assists in resolutions. NOTE: Depending on your devices and network, you may have two options for changing settings These options are outlined in this guide, and include: 1. Changing settings via any PC on the same network as the Fuji Xerox device s web interface (Centreware Internet services). 2. Changing settings via the control panel of the Fuji Xerox device. Setting changes are to be made via one of these options only i.e. if steps have been completed via a PC, they do not need to be repeated at the printer. NOTE: Some steps may be skipped if they are not required on the network e.g. (Proxy server) Technical Information IMPORTANT NOTE: EP-BB communicates securely over SSL HTTPS, and the worldwide default port is 443.
