ScanRouter & PC-Cillin

Some versionsof PC-Cillin also have a mini Firewall built in and that is likely what is blocking your communications. You need to either disable it or open up the ip addresses of the internal network.

Windows XP also has a builtin firewall that will block the ports necessary for Scanrouter communication.

The following protocols and port numbers are used between DeskTopBinder, ScanRouter Link and ScanRouter server.

TCP/IP Protocol
Epmap Port: 135 (For file end command)
DCOM Port: 1024-65535 random

For firewall purposes, port 135 needs to be open. Random port numbers normally go through firewalls without any issues.

The following protocols, services, and port numbers are used between ScanRouter server and I/O device.

TCP/IP Protocol
FTP Port: 3670 (As control port)
FTP Port: 1024-65535 random (As data port)
HTTP Port: 80 (For XML data)
SNMP Port: 161 (For I/O device settings)
When browsing the I/O device from ScanRouter Delivery Server, HTTP and SNMP are used.

For firewall purposes, ports 80, 161, and 3670 need to be open. Random port numbers normally go through firewalls without any issues.

Also keep in mind regarding XP...
Officially it is not a supported OS.
This is stated in the readme.txt file that
is with the program download.
Most of the time it works, just FYI

Could you clarify you statement? Do you mean that XP is not a supported OS for the PC-Cillin program, or XP is not a supported OS for the Ricoh stuff?

Not officially endorsed or supported by the Ricoh sutuff. Like the message said above, it is a matter of either taking down the internal firewall or opening specific ports and you really should have no problems.

Thanks

I found a little box in the PC-Cillin program that, when checked, enable a personal firewall. It is checked by default. I unchecked the box on each PC and the Server, and they now comunicate just fine.
