Toshiba America Business Solutions Inc. (TABS) today announced the development and release of the e-BRIDGE Document Library. This latest Toshiba-developed software operates with all Toshiba Open Platform-enabled multifunction products (MFPs) and provides users with greater work efficiency and productivity in any location, such as a corporate office, home office, or while traveling.

With Document Library, Toshiba e-BRIDGE users have their filing cabinet at the tips of their fingers. Simply scan any document directly from the MFP’s control panel and it will be stored as a searchable digital file, reducing paper pile-ups and printing costs. When a user is ready to retrieve the document, regardless of their location, they simply open the Document Library interface in their favorite Web browser and search for the document by any key word in the document text or by its filing tag. This allows information to be accessed at anytime and anywhere, which is key for fast-paced, global business environments.

“Our goal with offering Document Library is to help authorized Toshiba dealers introduce their small-to-mid-sized customers to the ease and value of document management systems. By being an affordable solution for any size business, Document Library can reduce a company’s overall operational costs through reduced print needs and improved employee productivity and efficiency,” said Joe Contreras, director, Product and Solutions Marketing, TABS. “Prior to Document Library, basic document management meant making a significant investment decision. Toshiba has removed that obstacle for the small businesses – the backbone of today’s economy.”

Toshiba-Developed Open Platform Technology

Administration has never been easier or more customizable than with Toshiba’s e-BRIDGE Open Platform technology. With the click of a mouse, administrators can set and deploy company-wide security rules, settings, defaults and scanning guidelines from one centralized location to their entire fleet of Toshiba’s Open Platform-enabled MFPs, providing dramatically improved control, security and efficiency.

Toshiba’s e-BRIDGE Document Library is the third in a series of Toshiba-developed connectors that provide greater levels of third-party application integration for Toshiba’s Open Platform-enabled MFPs. These connectors also will meet customer needs for increasing office productivity and efficiency and reducing overall print management costs. Dealers and customers can look forward to an expansion of the Open Platform portfolio of external application software partners in the coming months. For solutions not currently supported by Toshiba-developed connectors, Toshiba offers eCopy as the connectivity add-on.

The Toshiba e-BRIDGE Open Platform Connectors for Document Library can be purchased through local Toshiba authorized dealers. Visit www.copiers.toshiba.com to search for an authorized Toshiba dealer by location.

I went through a stage a few years ago where i became obsessed with Traum Schallplatten. A German label that consistently delivered deep melodic techno, a roster of artists who featured regularly, and a compilation series (Interkontinental) that would still give Kompakt’s ‘Total’ a run for their money. It’s also the label responsible for introducing me to Jesse Somfay, Process, Nathan Fake, Minilogue, Fairmont and Miss Dinky.

Miss Dinky released one of the more ambient albums during Traum’s early days, ‘Melodias Venenosas’ (TraumCD05). A stunning mix of dark, dubby techno bubbling with melody.  Since then, Alejandra Iglesias has gone on to release mixes for Crosstown Rebels, as part of the ‘Get Lost‘ series (recommended if you like twisted dark journeys from the minds of chaps like Damian Lazarus) and releases on techno big shots Cocoon and Wagon Repair.

2010 sees miss Dinky turn out an ambient mix sprinkled with techno influences. Maybe not one for the shoegazers out there, but if like me you went through a phase of buying every single Traum vinyl release from 001 to 067 (then run out of money and have to ration Traum vinyl spending), and love ambient music (anyone?!), then this is one for you.

Thanks to Allez- Allez for the mix, and Deepgoa for the heads-up.

At our recent ECM Solutions Conference, Nexus, ImageSource announced the new brand strategy for our ILINX product line – Capture | Connect | Share.

The three word tagline was chosen because it so accurately describes the critical comments of an effective Enterprise Content Management system.

Capture:
The more effectively an organization can get information into their system the better they are able to manage that information. Critical content comes into organizations every day. How are you capturing your information? How effectively are you managing all types of content (paper, electronic content, video, pictures, etc)? What technology are you embracing to enable electronic information? Fax machines? MFPs? Desktop scanners? Production scanners? Because Capture is the “on-ramp” to any ECM system, having the right tools (ILINX Capture Products) will enable the success of your ECM system.

Connect:
Seamless integration with line-of-business systems is essential for user adoption, simple end-user training and overall Change Management. With the use of ILINX Connect products, organizations can access all critical documents from one central ECM repository without ever leaving the LOB system they are familiar with. ILINX successfully integrates ECM systems with SAP, JD Edwards, PeopleSoft and others.

Connectivity between different ECM systems is also essential in order to maximize the benefits of all the various technologies. ILINX integrates technologies such as SharePoint, Oracle, LiquidOffice, Kofax, and more.

Share:
Business operations depend on getting the right information to the right people at the right time. Having the right tools to access that information easily is the functionality built into the ILINX Share products. Organizations must be able to export targeted information effectively for public disclosure requests, specific agenda items, invoices, and much, much more. Having that information easy to retrieve in a well organized, usable format is essential.

ILINX products are the cornerstone of many successful ECM solutions. Visit the customer success stories page on our website and see how organizations, both public and private, are creating effective ECM solutions utilizing ILINX technologies.

The challenge with MFP Document Capture is that there is really a lack of standardization within the MFP panels.  Users may have to navigate different menu structures, depending on the model, just to send themselves a message to email.  Also, there is really no efficient way to get documents into a home folder.  PSIGEN has introduced intelligent MFP routing technology to overcome these limitations.  Through the use of 2D barcodes, users can route their documents to any folder on the network, and even route to email, all through the use of the same one touch.  Read more on our web site:

Document Capture for MFPs and Copiers

HP are failing to send out maintenance kits for our CM6040 MFPs. You can bypass the detection done by the printers by doing the following.

Log onto the printers web server and enable the administration menu at the printer.
Go to the printer and enter the administration menu.
Go to management.
Go to Manage device/supplies
Go to Replace supplies
Edit Override @L 1   (don’t change 2!!!)
Set the largest number you can. (Usually 999999)
Select OK and exit the menu.

You’ll find that you can now print and copy. So why do we need replacement maintenance kits?

This is great if you need a MFP.  The downside to using these is that the cartridges can be more expensive than dedicated text/graphics printers.  Click here to read.

Last time we described what MFP can do, so now let’s talk about how you set it up; it only takes a few steps.

First, in the controller’s GUI, navigate to Security > Wireless Protection Policies > AP Authentication/MFP, and in the Protection Type drop down menu select Management Frame Protection. This enables MFP globally on the controller, letting you use MFP on WLANs that you designate.

Next, navigate to WLANs > wlan_id_number > Security > Layer 2 Policies. WPA2 is required in order for the WLAN to use MFP, so in the Layer 2 Security drop down menu, select WPA+WPA2. In the fields below, make sure you have enabled WPA2 policy and WPA2 encryption (TKIP or AES are both acceptable).

Then, navigate to WLANs > wlan_id_number > Advanced and check the box for Infrastructure MFP Protection. This enables access points (APs) to participate in Infrastructure MFP, causing the APs to digitally sign their management frames.

Finally, use the MFP Client Protection drop down menu to select either Disabled, Optional, or Required – according to your client’s capabilities and the level of protection you desire.

• Disabled turns off client support for MFP.
• Optional enables client devices to participate as validator devices if they are capable, but still allows clients that cannot support MFP to participate in the network.
• The Required setting makes client MFP support mandatory – devices which don’t support MFP will not be allowed to join the network.

So, now you know how I came to be worry free and in love with my WLAN.

Another One Bites the Dust – a classic 80’s hit song by Queen about the impending revenge of a young man named Steve, but it could also describe what happens to a broad range of attacks aimed at your wireless network after a few well-placed clicks of your mouse.

Most reconnaissance and denial of service (DoS) attacks against wireless networks are based on the misuse of management frames. Twelve of the seventeen standard signatures that wireless controllers constantly look for are based on management frames. Disassociation and de-authentication floods (which we commonly refer to as containment) fit in that group, as do null probe responses which give an attacker an easy way to lock up most wireless clients. These frames are all sent without any kind of encryption or authentication because they have to be sent that way – they operate at such a fundamental level of wireless networking that we have no choice, and because of that we are all vulnerable.

Or at least we were…until Management Frame Protection (MFP) came along.  With MFP we are able to attach an encrypted informational element (IE) to the end of each management frame sent by our access points, making the identification of legitimate management frames simple and efficient, as well as impossible to spoof.

There are two flavors of MFP, Infrastructure MFP (aka MFP-1) and Client and Infrastructure MFP (MFP-2).

With MFP-1, the access points download an encryption key from the controller.  For every management frame an AP sends, it will attach an IE that includes a sequence count, time stamp, and message integrity check embedded in it. The IE is encrypted with a key given by the controller.

This key is linked to the wired interface used by the WLAN. This means that if the WLANs use different VLANs, they will use different keys; if the WLANs use the same VLAN, they will use the same key.

Other APs that are in range will hear the management frame and be able to validate the attached IE. If the IE is incorrect in any way, the validator AP will forward that information to the controller, which can then forward the report to WCS. APs belonging to the same mobility group will use the same keys, so APs can validate management frames sent by APs on other controllers in an enterprise network.

With MFP-2, the clients download the key for their WLAN after they have authenticated to the network and they will validate every management frame they hear.  If the client hears a valid frame they report nothing, and if the frame applies to them the client obey the commands. If the client hears an invalid frame they ignore the instructions delivered in the command and report the incident to their supporting AP, which then forwards the report to the controller and up to WCS. Let me rephrase the first part of that sentence for you

if someone tries to use a null probe response to lock up your clients, your clients shrug it off and report it! If someone tries to contain your network, your clients ignore their attempts to shut you down and, again, report it! Your clients become bulletproof to a wide range of wireless DoS attacks.

Before you get too excited, though, I need to let you know that only clients supporting Cisco Compatible Extensions (Version 5) can participate in MFP-2.

So, for any of you who ever hear me walking into the classroom or your job site humming Another One Bits the Dust, now you know the story behind it.  I’m worry free and I love my WLAN.

Next time we’ll talk about how to set up MFP in three easy steps.
