Use DRS to configure and deploy the unified client

Administrative access to the server is required. Perform these steps from the server where the installation takes place.

If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to Start > Administrative Tools > Server Manager > Local Server > IE Enhanced Security Configuration and turn off Administrators.

If you are using Output Manager 5.3.1, you can install Device Registration Service (DRS) within ControlSuite. If you are using Output Manager 4.0, install DRS separately:
1. Unzip the <version_number>-DeviceRegistrationService.zip from Download installer packages. This creates a new folder containing the DeviceRegistrationService.exe file.
2. Right-click the file and select Run as administrator.
3. Follow the instructions to install DRS.
Upload the Ricoh Client Package.
1. Download the Unified Client for Ricoh SOP software package, KofaxRicohUnifiedClient-<version>.zip, from the Kofax Downloads Web site (https://delivery.kofax.com).
2. Unzip the file. This creates a new folder, containing the RicohSOP<version_number>.xml file.
3. Open DRS. In a Web browser, enter http(s)://DRSServerIP:9000/device, where DRSServerIP is the IP address of the server where you installed DRS.
4. Select the Files tab.
5. From the Device Type list, select Ricoh SOP.
6. At the bottom of the screen, click Upload. Go to the KofaxRicohUnifiedClient-<version>.zip file, unzip it, and upload the files. You can also upload any images you want to use to customize the Welcome screen. The file type restriction is also validated, with message listing the allowed extensions when errors appear.
  
  Future updates of the client configurations can be also uploaded from here.
  
  The administrator can check build information for the specific package version and DRS decides what should be installed to the MFP based on the device configurations. The administrator can also install the latest version of the client, or a previous version (until that version is retired or is not supported).
  
  After installing DRS, the uploaded files (using Files tab in DRS) are not part of the installer and will not be removed with the uninstallation.
  
  You can delete cached user information and transactions on the device by uninstalling then re-installing the unified client.
