SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLONING DOCUMENT PROCESSING DEVICES VIA SIMPLE NETWORK MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL
First Claim
1. A system for cloning of document processing devices via simple network management protocol comprising:
- means adapted for retrieving a management information base object data corresponding to commonly configurable parameters of each of a plurality of document processing devices;
means adapted for displaying data corresponding to each of a plurality of object identifiers associated with the commonly configurable parameters;
means adapted for receiving selection data corresponding to a selected subset of the plurality of object identifiers;
means adapted for receiving source data corresponding to a selected source of configuration data;
data retrieval means adapted for retrieving configuration data in accordance with received source data;
means adapted for receiving target data corresponding to selected document processing devices for which configuration is desired; and
output means adapted for communicating retrieved configuration data corresponding to the selected subset of object identifiers to each of the selected document processing devices in accordance with received target data.

Abstract
The subject application is directed to a system and method for cloning of document processing devices via simple network management protocol. A management information base object is first retrieved corresponding to commonly configurable parameters of document processing devices. Object identifier data associated with the commonly configurable parameters is then displayed. Selection data is thereafter received corresponding to a selected subset of the object identifiers. A selected source of the configuration data is received corresponding to source data. The configuration data is then retrieved based upon the received source data. Target data is then received corresponding to selected document processing devices for which a configuration thereof is desired. Retrieved configuration data is then communicated to each of the selected document processing devices according to the received target data corresponding to the selected subset of object identifiers.
