Installation
The KYOCERA Net Admin installation consists of two main software components or
consoles: Administration and Device Manager. The KYOCERA Net Admin Agent
and Multi-Set Template Editor are included in the installation, and are also available
as separate installers along with the Local Device Agent (LDA). The KYOCERA Net
Admin Agent and Multi-Set Template Editor can be installed locally or remotely at
multiple sites.

The Administration console lets you manage user accounts and roles, user
subscriptions, network discovery, and system settings. The Device Manager console
lets you manage device data, reports, polling, alerts, and preferences.

The KYOCERA Net Admin Agent is a service that communicates network device
information to KYOCERA Net Admin. The LDA is a service that communicates
information about USB-connected Kyocera devices on a network. The Multi-Set
Template Editor lets you create or change settings templates.

The KYOCERA Net Admin installation provides the third party software Java
Runtime Environment 8 and, if selected, PostgreSQL. If selected, Microsoft SQL
Server must be installed separately. Your server must have Microsoft .NET
Framework 4.5 or later to install KYOCERA NetAdmin, Agent, LDA, and Multi-Set
Template Editor.

apart on server and agent computers. For computers in different time zones, use a
global time server or domain time server to ensure synchronized time settings.

Installing KYOCERA Net Admin

Note: Make sure your firewall is configured correctly to allow communication

between KYOCERA Net Admin components (TCP port: 8731). KYOCERA Net
Admin cannot be installed on a server used as a domain controller.

Note: If you plan on using the Microsoft SQL database, you must install and
configure it before installing KYOCERA Net Admin. Only one instance of the
KYOCERA Net Admin database can be supported on the Microsoft SQL server.

Remote Agent Installation

This section is required for administrators who install KYOCERA Net Admin Agent
on a remote network.

The KYOCERA Net Admin Agent is a service that communicates network device
information to KYOCERA Net Admin. Agents can be installed on the KYOCERA Net
Admin server and on remote computers.

To ensure secure communication, the time setting must be no more than 1 minute
apart on server and agent computers. For computers in different time zones, use a
global time server or domain time server to ensure synchronized time settings.

You can choose to install KYOCERA Net Admin Agent on a remote computer either
by RPC connections or by a Stand-alone installer.

RPC Connections for Remote Agent Installation

The administrator can set policies that are applied to the computer for any user
who logs on to the KYOCERA Net Admin server.

For agent installation on a remote computer, the Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
endpoint for the spooler must be set up to allow agent connections. The Allow Print
Spooler to accept client connections policy manages access to the Print Spooler.
For information about group policy settings, refer to Microsoft documentation.

KYOCERA Net Admin 7

Allowing the Remote Agent to Access Client Connections

1 In Local Group Policy Editor, click Computer Configuration > Administrative

Templates > Printers.

2 From the Setting list, double-click the Allow Print Spooler to accept client
connections policy.

3 Select Enabled so the Print Spooler will always accept client connections.
4 Click OK.
5 Restart the Print Spooler service for changes to this policy to take effect. For
information about restarting the Print Spooler, refer to Microsoft documentation.

Clearing the File Sharing Option in a Remote Workgroup Computer

remote workgroup computer.

1 In Control Panel, click Folder Options.

2 In the Folder Options dialog box, click View.
3 In the Advanced Settings list, clear the Use Sharing Wizard (Recommended)
check box.

Adding a Remote Network and Remote Agent

selected New Agent in the previous page), type the Agent Login, Agent
Password, and Agent Domain of the administrator.

6 Click Next to continue and finish the Add Network wizard.

USB Device Connections

KYOCERA Net Admin can discover and manage local USB devices (connected to
computers in the network) through the Local Device Agent (LDA). It displays them in
the device list the same way as network-connected devices. The LDA can support

KYOCERA Net Admin 8

several USB connected devices at the same time, but KYOCERA Net Admin shows
only one of them.

Install the USB device to the computer first, then the LDA.

The following requirements are needed for the USB connection and LDA to function
correctly:

KYOCERA Net Admin must be installed and operating on the server.

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or later must be installed on the computer.
The computer must have at least one connected local Kyocera USB device.
The computer must have a real network interface card.
The computer must be connected to the network.
The computer must have an IP address in the connected network.
TCP port numbers 9000 and 9072 on the computer must be free and not
blocked by a firewall.

The user installing the LDA must have administrator rights to install a Microsoft
Windows service.

KYOCERA Net Admin Login

At the end of the installation wizard, you can leave the Start now check box selected
to open the application after clicking Close. Once the application is opened, you can
use the browser to bookmark the KYOCERA Net Admin web address.

On the login page, you can use the same word for the User name and Password:

For greater security, we recommend changing the default passwords immediately
after the first login.
