Chapter 1: Introduction to Rapid Device

Analysis
Chapter 1: Introduction to Rapid Device

Analysis
The Rapid Device Analysis (RDA) solution allows an organization to quickly
determine the performance of a networked printer fleet by gathering data and
providing detailed analysis with statistical reports. Before implementing print initiatives
such as cost reduction or environmentally-conscious compliance you need to know
how your fleet operates today.
Rapid Device Analysis provides data organization and analysis to target needs, help
focus on a real action plan, and then monitor the plans success.
System Requirements
.Net Framework 2.0 must be installed on the PC running the deviceanalysis.exe.
11
Chapter 2: Launching Rapid Device

Analysis
The Rapid Device Analysis software is delivered preloaded on a USB drive, with the
license resident. To begin using the Rapid Device Analysis software:
1. Insert the preloaded USB drive into a USB port on a PC that meets the System
Requirements above.
2. Locate and double-click on the deviceanalysis.exe file icon.
Figure 1 Activation dialog

3. To receive an Activation key, email the Identification key to
register@capellatech.com.

Time-out (ms)
The number of milliseconds the software will wait for a printer to respond to a TCP/IP
request.
SNMP
Get community name
The name of the SNMP community that the printer belongs to. Enter the correct
community name to gain access to the printer. If a printer has no community name,
the default name is public.
Time-out (ms)
The number of milliseconds the software will wait for a printer to respond to an SNMP
request. The default value is 2000.
SNMP retries
