Use DRS to configure and deploy the unified client
Before you begin, you must complete the steps in Configure DRS.
-
Open DRS using one of the following methods:
- In a Web browser, enter http://<DRSServerIP>:9000/ where <DRSServerIP> is the IP address of the server where DRS is installed.
- Open DRS from the Launch Applications screen of the ControlAssistant.
-
Create an application in DRS:
- Select the Applications tab.
- Click the New () button at the top left of the Applications pane.
- In the Name field (required), enter an application name.
- Select HP Unified Client as the Application Type.
- In the DWS Server Address field (required), enter the primary DWS host name. It is recommended that you use the fully qualified domain name of the server instead of the IP address.
- If you have additional DWS servers for failover purposes, enter their host names in the DWS Server #2 Address, DWS Server #3 Address, and DWS Server #4 Address fields.
-
For Capture Component, select
AutoStore or None. If
you select AutoStore, complete the following
information:
- Enter the host name or IP address for the AutoStore Server Address.
- Enter the AutoStore Server Port number that the AutoStore server uses to communicate with the Unified Client for HP. By default, the port number is 3310.
- For AutoStore Server Use SSL, select True or False.
-
For Print Manager, select
Equitrac or None. If
you select Equitrac, complete the following
information:
- In the DCE Server Address field (required), enter the IP address used by the Equitrac Server.
- If you have additional DCE servers for failover purposes, enter their IP addresses in the DCE Server #2 Address, DCE Server #3 Address, and DCE Server #4 Address fields.
- For Kofax Authorization, select True to use one of the authorization profiles offered by the Unified Client for HP or False to use another authorization agent outside of the Unified Client for HP.
- Click Save ().
-
Add a device in DRS:
- Click the Devices tab.
- Click the New () button at the top left of the Devices pane. The Add Device function loads into the right pane.
- In the Name field (required), enter a name for the HP device or device group that identifies it on the network.
- In the Address field (required), enter the address of the device. While IP addresses can be used, it is preferable to use the fully-qualified domain name.
- Enter the Username and Password for the device. Typically, the username is admin.
- In the Application list (required), select the application you created in the previous step. The remaining device fields appear.
- In the Device Group list, select a device group, if you want to add this device to a group.
- In the Application Name field, enter a name for the application. This name will appear under the button on the HP device home screen that is used to access Kofax workflows.
-
If you selected Equitrac as the Print
Manager, complete the following information.
- If a card reader is attached to the device, select the type from the Card Reader list. If your card reader is not listed, you can select Custom and enter the PID and VID of the card reader.
- In the Authorization Level list (required
if you enabled Kofax authorization), select one of the following
authorization profiles:
- Standard Kofax Admin Authorization: This profile locks specific applications and features for administrators only. After logging in, users can access all other device applications.
- Standard Kofax User Authorization: This profile makes all applications and features available to users after logging in.
- Standard Kofax Guest Authorization: This profile makes all applications and features available to users without requiring them to log in. Some applications, such as device settings, are restricted to administrators. Access to Kofax workflows requires a user to log in using the Kofax authentication option.
- Click Save () at the top of the Add Device pane.
-
From the list at the top of the Details pane, select
Install and Configure.
Note: The primary DWS must be online and available when installing the application.
-
Click Run Action (). This action may take a few moments to
complete. Once finished, a Successfully completed message
appears in the Action History pane at the bottom of the
screen.
Important: If you want to change any settings in the application (such as the primary DWS server or server details for Equitrac or AutoStore), you must use the Uninstall and Delete action in to remove the application profile from the device, update the application settings, then choose the Install and Configure action again.
If you add a Device Group in DRS, you can set up multiple devices at the same time with a common configuration. You can also override individual settings per device if you want to group your devices but still have certain settings different. When you run an action at the group level, it will run that command on each of the devices in the group, for a bulk installation. For more information, see Working with Device Groups.
