Managing devices

Devices can discover devices on the same network so you can add devices to Kofax TotalAgility. Devices cannot discover devices that are on different subnets or outside a firewall. These devices can connect with Kofax TotalAgility and be added and self-registered .

You also need to install software on your device to enable it to connect to and use Kofax TotalAgility. Download the client software to your computer to install, follow the installation instructions in the MFP administrator's guide for your device, and then register the device in Devices. A Kofax button is added to the MFP front panel.

When you click the Kofax button, the MFP connects to Kofax TotalAgility. Kofax TotalAgility automatically adds the MFP to the available devices list in Devices. For mobile devices, the actions are similar: when the device connects to Kofax TotalAgility, Kofax TotalAgility adds the MFP to the available devices list. After the MFP is on the available devices list, one of the following occurs, depending on the Devices settings:

  • If self-registration is enabled, Kofax TotalAgility adds the device.

  • If a default device profile exists, the device displays the elements (destination or shortcuts, buttons, and so forth) configured for the device profile.
