Manual Device Configuration

This section shows you an insight of the Brother Mass Deployment Tool and how to configure the DRS and the device without this tool.

The Mass Deployment Tool is provided by Brother to manage multiple locally or network connected devices. Within Kofax Unified Client, Brother Mass Deployment Tool is in charge of executing some application configurations from the DRS on the device, making the installation of device easier. That is why we highly recommend the use of Mass Deployment Tool. However, due to current Brother Mass Deployment Tool's inability to function in a FIPS-enabled environment, if your server environment is FIPS enabled, this tool is unusable. Then the Manual Device Configuration must be used instead. In order to do the manual configurations, please select True in the Manual Device Configuration from the Application tab on the DRS.

The use of the Manual Device Configuration will hide the following fields:

  • Brother Mass Deployment Tool Location on DWS

  • DWS server #2 through #4

Please continue with the configurations of adding Application and Device on DRS, then follow steps in Configure the Brother device in case Mass Deployment Tool is not in use.
