Installing a Windows Operating System
When you install a primary server on a Windows operating system, 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
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.
- Create an administrator account specifically for RICOH ProcessDirector to run under. The account should not be connected to a specific person.
- 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.
