IP Address Template
This template creates a configuration that maps network printers and defines a default printer based on the location of the local device using its IP address. It can be found in the LOCATION AWARE PRINTING
category when filtered for LOCAL
platform.
deviceTRUST requires some simple but essential configuration steps to be performed to enable the template for your local environment. We will guide you step-by-step through simple deviceTRUST configuration steps to enable the template within your local environment.
We will perform the following steps:
Step 1: Prerequisites
If the required deviceTRUST components (Agent, Console and License) are not yet installed, please visit the Getting Started for Local guide and complete step 1 to 4 and then continue here with step 2 below.
Step 2: Contexts
The template has imported the following context:
Context | Description | Customizations |
---|---|---|
Device Location
|
Defines the location of a device based on its IP address.
|
You must update the following context condition with data suitable for your environment:
LOCAL - NETWORK IPV4 SUBNET IPv4 Range From 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.254
Replace the IPv4 range for Floor 1, Floor 2, Floor 3,… with the IPv4 range representing the target location. Example: 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.254 |
- If a context is not needed, it can be deactivated or deleted. In addition, the corresponding task sequence within the relevant action must be deleted too.
Step 3: Actions
The template includes an enforcement action that actively configures the session. By default, the enforcement action is enabled.
Action | Description | Default State | Customizations |
---|---|---|---|
Conditional Configuration - Printer Management - IP Address
|
Maps network printers and defines a default printer based on the location of the device using its IP address.
|
Activated
|
You must update the following context condition with data suitable for your environment:
MAP PRINTER Unknown, MAP PRINTER Floor 1, MAP PRINTER Floor 2,…
Configure printers for each location within the target map printer task. Example: \\DTLDPS01\Corporate Printer
|
- If the action has been disabled, the context will still be created.
