Dispatcher Paragon Embedded Terminal for Konica Minolta support native application failover. That means that the Authentication, Print and Scan applications installed on the device can have registered 2 different Dispatcher Paragon servers to connect to. When the current endpoint fails to response to an application request, the application switches to the other one and use it as long as the endpoint is responding.

Limitations

• Jobs history is not working correctly.
• Only native Terminal mode is supported.

Prerequisites

• MFD must support OpenAPI setup version 4.1 or higher.
• Spooler controllers must be in the same Spooler controller group.
• Etcd must be enabled.

2. Go to System > System settings
3. Set enableEtcd property to enabled and save the configuration.
4. Restart the Dispatcher Paragon Terminal Server service on all Management and/or Site servers.
5. Reinstall Embedded terminals after this change.
