Installing a Windows Operating System
When you install a Windows operating system, you must choose the correct mode to run
in and open the correct ports in the firewall.
RICOH ProcessDirector can be installed on these operating systems:
- Windows Server 2019 64-bit
- Windows Server 2022 64-bit
- Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise 64-bit
- Windows 11 Pro
To install a Windows operating system:
- See the Windows documentation to install the appropriate operating system. When you
are asked to choose 32-bit or 64-bit mode, choose 64-bit mode for the Windows operating
system. RICOH ProcessDirector is not compatible with 32-bit mode.
Make sure that User Account Control (UAC) is set to OFF. You can turn it back on when the installation is complete.
- RICOH ProcessDirector supports both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. If you use IPv4, IP addresses can be expressed
using dotted-decimal addresses or the fully qualified host name. If you use IPv6,
you must use the fully qualified host name of the server.
- Note:
- If you use an IPv6 address, you must complete additional configuration steps after you install RICOH ProcessDirector. See Configuring to use IPv6 addresses.
- In your firewall, open any ports that RICOH ProcessDirector uses. You must open this port:
- 15080 for inbound connections on the computer that RICOH ProcessDirector is installed on. Other computers use this port to connect to the RICOH ProcessDirector service.
Depending on your configuration, you might also need these ports:
