Apparatus management device, apparatus configuration method, and storage medium

摘要

An apparatus management device, which is connected via a network to an apparatus, includes a storage unit configured to store a default value for a parameter of the apparatus and a table including coefficients associated with counter values indicating operational status of the apparatus; an apparatus information obtaining unit configured to obtain apparatus information including a counter value indicating the operational status from the apparatus; a parameter value calculation unit configured to obtain one of the coefficients that corresponds to the counter value in the obtained apparatus information by referring to the table, and to calculate an update value for the parameter of the apparatus by multiplying the default value by the one of the coefficients; and a setting unit configured to set the parameter of the apparatus at the update value.

1. A method performed by an apparatus management device connected via a network to a remote management apparatus and a plurality of managed apparatuses, the method comprising:
obtaining apparatus information from the managed apparatuses; grouping two or more of the managed apparatuses based on the obtained apparatus information; obtaining, from the remote management apparatus, current parameter values currently set in the managed apparatuses and coefficients associated with the apparatus information; updating the current parameter values of the grouped managed apparatuses based on the obtained apparatus information and the coefficients; and sending the updated current parameter values to the grouped managed apparatuses and the remote management apparatus.
