eASY.eFFICIENT.eMPOWERED.
eMAINTENANCEFEATURESeMaintenance is an empowering service that lets you manage and control your Canon multifunction devices more efficiently. With this service, you can reduce administration burden, increase machine uptime and save the environment.
eMaintenance includes consumables management to assist with
order planning and stock control. That means you never have to
run out of toner, nor do you have to stockpile to avoid running low.
TONER-ON-DEMAND
The system will immediately send an alert if a critical fault occurs,
or when a device is not performing up to standard. Statistics will
be automatically collated and sent to the administrator (subject to
operating conditions) for the provision of proactive, timely support.
PROACTIVE DEVICE SUPPORTThe system automates firmware download to prepare
imageRUNNER ADVANCE for updating, making it possible to update
your entire device fleet in a shorter time frame. Updates can be
scheduled to take place during off-peak hours to further reduce
interruptions.
FIRMWARE UPDATES
Canon’s unique Remote Diagnostics System (RDS) allows the
central administrator to monitor the status, workload and usage
pattern for each individual device, and create performance
overview reports.
REMOTE DIAGNOSTICS
eMaintenance lives up to very high security standards. All
communication between the system and Canon devices are
encrypted using HTTPS protocol.
SECURE AND SIMPLE
The eMaintenance system automatically reports the counter
readings to Canon Services. Non-manual reporting means less
administration and more accurate billing.

If customers turn off their device, the server will retrieve device information on the next working day when it is turned on again. When no signal is detected from customer’s device after 7 days, Canon will contact the company for clarifications and/or troubleshooting.
02 What if customers turn off the devices during weekends?
01
The eMaintenance System (eRDS, RDS Agent) can generally work in an environment with Internet access. Broadband network is strongly recommended for optimum performance.
Can the eMaintenance System (eRDS, RDS Agent) work in an environment where there is Internet access via dial-up connection, but not via internal proxy server?
The firmware in the Canon devices is developed under maximum scrutiny and procedures in Japan. Typically, a new device will undergo a thorough set of parametric and functional QA testing prior to market release.
04How do we know if the device will not contain any malicious program within it that may hack into our LAN and transmit information to outside world?
The transmission of data from the Canon device to the UGW server over the Internet is by means of HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) protocols. The UGW is hosted at a fully qualified data center that is certified to BS7799 standards (the equivalent of ISO17799 standards) for Information Security Management System (ISMS).
06 How secure is the eMaintenance System?
The 3 types of data being transmitted from the device are:
• Counter Data: Billing Counter/Detail Counter
• Quality Data: Error/Jam/Alarm Information (including toner low)
• Debug Log Information
07 What data is sent from the device to the UGW server?
The eMaintenance system is based on the Canon devices communicating to a central server (the UGW server) hosted at a remote data center. The live IP address of the UGW Server is not disclosed due to network security reasons.
05 Can Canon reveal the live IP address of the UGW server to customers?
It is unlikely to experience any slowdown under normal internet traffic conditions.
03 Will eMaintenance slow down network traffic in the customer’s environment?

SECURITY FEATURES
eMaintenance offers you automated, pro-active support
without ever compromising your organization’s need for
security. Within this brochure, we will review the various
aspects of eMaintenance: its structure, data transmission,
traffic, network protocols, and the security functions
implemented into each device for stable monitoring.
eMAINTENANCE MEANS
SECURITY
The eMaintenance system consists of a secured internet server (Universal Gateway, or UGW) and monitoring equipments. These monitoring equipments collect the device information from the customers’ sites and send it to UGW.
THE eMAINTENANCE
SYSTEM
embedded Remote Diagnostic System (eRDS) runs inside a device to acquire device
information and sends it to the UGW
RDS Agent is a small
piece of hardware designed
to monitor 1 to 30 devices
and RDS Server, a dedicated server
used to perform remote diagnostics
(subjected to network environment)
Three types of monitoring equipments are available:
There are four specific types of data handled by the monitoring equipment:
Information such as Service Call Log, Jam Log, Alarm Log, Alerts, and Firmware version are sent as and when needed.
^ For full listing of the data send to UGW, please check with your Canon representative.
The eRDS system is embedded and does not communicate to collect data, but transmits directly.
The eMaintenance system is designed to minimize network load while ensuring your systems are up and running. The monitoring equipment collects approximately 3MB a day per device, depending on device type, setting, and frequency. Information is transmitted over the HTTPS protocol on port TCP/443 for peace of mind.
DATA TRAFFIC
Monitoring equipment control information includes
the ID and log information of the monitoring equipment, and
setting instruction from the UGW.
Device control information is used to identify and control
monitored device.
Network environment information is essential for
communication with the devices and UGW.
Device monitoring information is obtained via the
monitoring equipment, and the eMaintenance system processes it
into more effective information, and provides it to service persons.

eMAINTENANCE SYSTEM WORKFLOW
IT administrators and operators can obtain the device status information on UGW using
a web browser. Billing and error information can be obtained by the backend system of
Sales Companies through linkage with the server.
Encryption key lengths comply with the industry
standards set by National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST).
• Public key encryption: RSA 2048 bits
• Shared key encryption: AES 256bits
Self Monitoring is performed on the monitoring device to ensure it is active 24/7.
Each device monitors its own processes so even when a fatal failure occurs, the devices
continue to monitor via a self recovery function.
Support for Failover ensures your system is stable even in the event of a Web server
or application server failure. Processing is automatically transferred to an unaffected server,
so that users can continue to access information when required.
Only authorized users can access the asset information. A reliable, encrypted channel is created during communication to ensure data security.
Availability in the eMaintenance system means that the system keeps running and monitoring the devices, and that authorized users can be notified and access the system whenever needed.
Data security is a key concern when designing the eMaintenance system. To protect your data, we built the system based on three key principles:
SECURITY MEASURES
CONFIDENTIALITY
AVAILABILITY
Authentication is required for access
to ensure that only authorized users have
access to setting and control options.
We hope that this eMaintenance Security Feature brochure has given you a clear,
detailed understanding of the security measures built into the eMaintenance system.
For more information, please contact your friendly Canon representative.
UGW avoids attack with codes entered by malicious users in order to prevent the device monitoring information from being altered illegally. In the web screen of the UGW, the sanitizing process is performed to avoid input attack by cross-site scripting. This process protects the system from such attack that the UGW access user is forcibly guided to an unknown web site, and that necessary information for the user cannot be acquired. This is done to protect user list, authentication and customer information maintained by the UGW.
Integrity in the eMaintenance system means that the protection assets information is accurate and complete, from transmission to maintenance of information.
UNIVERSAL GATEWAY DEFENCE MECHANISM
INTEGRITY
Data and device verifi cation ensures that device information received is
registered in the UGW. It also ensures that the information is of correct format and that
all required information is included. Monitoring device and the device itself are verified
using serial numbers and MAC addresses before network transmission.
UGW Server Authentication is performed through HTTPS communication,
verified with VeriSign certificate. Connection URLs are also limited using a communication
application, and controls the data transmission ends. The monitoring equipment only
sends device information to the UGW, and only through these protocols.
Minimizing Illegal Access is achieved through minimizing unnecessary network
services, limiting possible intrusion paths via network control. Even in the unlikely event
of an illegal third party intrusion, an access log is kept and maintained in the UGW.
Measures against Data Falsifi cation includes a
system information check to ensure correct data is provided.
Any change made to the configuration files are immediately
detected and reported to the system administrator.
