Preparing to install RICOH Transform features

Before you install a RICOH Transform features, make sure your system meets the minimum requirements.
  • Hardware requirements:
    • Minimum of an extra 10 GB free hard-drive space.
    • An extra 1 GB RAM for every CPU core, but no less than 4 GB.

      For example, if the computer has:

      • One dual-core processor, it must have an extra 4 GB RAM.
      • Two quad-core processors, it must have an extra 8 GB RAM.
      • Three quad-core processors, it must have an extra 12 GB RAM.
      • Four quad-core processors, it must have an extra 16 GB RAM.

  • Required software:

    WorldType Fonts version 8.13 for RICOH SAP to AFP files to transform correctly when IS/3 support is enabled.

    Java Runtime Environment 1.4 or higher.

  • System and network setup:
    1. Determine the number of nodes that the RICOH Transform features will use.
      This value is based on the number of processor cores in the computer where you want to install the Transform feature. The value is 2 or half of the cores in the computer, whichever is larger. For example, if the computer has:
      • One single-core processor, the number of nodes is 2.
      • One dual-core processor, the number of nodes is 2.
      • Two dual-core processors, the number of nodes is 2.
      • Two quad-core processors, the number of nodes is 4.
      • Four quad-core processors, the number of nodes is 8.
    2. In your firewall, open the ports that the Ricoh Transform feature uses.
      These ports must have LISTEN permission for the listed application on the computer where you want to install the Transform feature:
      • Port 6980 for <install_path>\itm\clients\fdi\fdi.exe.
      • Ports 6984 and 6985 for <install_path>\itm\hn\feps.exe.
      • Port 6986 for <install_path>\itm\clients\coord\coord.exe.
      • Port 6988+<N> for <install_path>\itm\node<N>\node.exe.

        Where <N> is between 1 and the total number of configured compute nodes. For example, if N is 2, port for <install_path>\itm\node1\node.exe is 6989 and port for <install_path>\itm\node2\node.exe is 6990.

      These applications must be allowed to make outgoing connections to the ports indicated on any machine: fdi.exe, feps.exe, coord.exe, pd.exe, node.exe, ctt_standalone.exe

      • <install_path>\itm\clients\fdi\fdi.exe to port 6984.
      • <install_path>\itm\hn\feps.exe to port 6986.
      • <install_path>\itm\clients\coord\coord.exe to ports 6984 and 6986.
      • <install_path>\itm\hn\pd\pd.exe to port 6984.
      • <install_path>\itm\node<N>\node.exe to port 6985.
      • <install_path>\itm\node<N>\xforms\ctt_standalone\ctt_standalone.exe to port 6988+<N>.

        Where <N> is between 1 and the total number of compute nodes configured. For example, if N is 2, port for <install_path>\itm\node1\xforms\ctt_standalone\ctt_standalone.exe is 6989 and port for <install_path>\itm\node2\xforms\ctt_standalone\ctt_standalone.exe is 6990.
