Verify prerequisites

Before you begin your AutoStore deployment, ensure that the following requirements are met.

Check Description
Verify that the server machine is a member of a domain.
Ensure that the following hardware requirements are met:
  • 8 GB of physical memory available
  • 5 GB of hard disk space available (including SQL server and prerequisites)
  • The CPU is 4 x 2 GHz or greater

One of the following 64-bit operating systems:

  • Windows Server 2012 R2
  • Windows Server 2012 - Standard and Datacenter (enable ASP.NET for Microsoft .NET 4.5 or ASP.NET for Microsoft .NET 4.6. before installation)
  • Windows Server 2008 R2
  • Windows Server 2008 - Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter
Verify that you have Administrative access rights to the operating system on the server.
Check that all required Windows updates are installed.
Verify that Microsoft Windows Updates is turned on while you are deploying AutoStore. This is necessary for the successful installation of Microsoft Windows Identity Foundation (MSDN).
Ensure that .NET Framework 3.5 is installed on the server: launch Server Manager > Local Server, and confirm that .NET Framework 3.5 is listed under Roles and Features.
If .NET Framework 3.5 is not installed, it is installed as part of AutoStore installation process.
Ensure that Windows Identity Foundation 3.5 is installed on the server: launch Server Manager > Local Server, and confirm that Windows Identity Foundation 3.5 is listed under Roles and Features.
Allow incoming firewall exceptions for the following ports:
  • 80: Device port used for HTTP connections
  • 3310: Capture server port
  • 8080: Redirects to port 8444 used for HTTPS communication to the DWS
  • 8753: The default port for the Device Registration Service
  • 9000: The port used by the server to communicate with the web client. This port is specified in the Service settings in the DRS Device Configuration Manager
and outgoing firewall exceptions for ports 3310, 8753, 49629, 49630, 50083.
Port 3310 is configurable and you should update the firewall accordingly
Allow incoming firewall exceptions for the following ports:
  • 443: Device port used for HTTPS connections to the device
  • 8444: Each request to the DWS from the MFP uses the DWS address as specified in DRS (TLS connections using port 8444). It is these requests and events from the MFP to DWS that will request the DWS server certificate when completing a TLS handshake. Also used by Web Administration page
    Ports 443/8444 have to be manually created, even if these are chosen automatically.
Verify that IE Enhanced Security Configuration is turned off for Administrators in IE Enhanced Security Configuration (to access this, click Server Manager > Local Server).
If you are planning to use any AutoStore Route component that requires client software, ensure that this software is installed on your server machine before starting deployment.
Verify that you have Administrative access to the device.
Check that your servers and MFPs have a DNS record.
Due to a security update, Toshiba devices might no longer show a login page after updating DWS. Initialize the device with client package 1.0.6945 to resolve the issue.
