Use DRS to configure and deploy the unified client

Administrative access to the server is required. All steps outlined are performed from the server where the installation takes place. Follow these steps to perform an installation of Unified Client for Epson v1.0 for an Equitrac only environment:

If you are using Equitrac 6.0 or later, you can install Device Registration Service (DRS) within ControlSuite. If you are using Equitrac 5.6 or 5.7, install DRS separately.
1. Unzip DeviceRegistrationService.zip from Download installer packages. This creates a new folder containing the DeviceRegistrationService.exe file.
2. Run the DeviceRegistrationService.exe file, and follow the instructions to install DRS.

Note: Although you can deploy DRS to any server as long as there is no port conflict, it is recommended that you install DRS wherever Equitrac is installed. In this way, the DRS server can control the same MFP devices that are controlled by the corresponding Equitrac server.

Open DRS. In a Web browser, enter http://DRSServerIP:9000/device, where DRSServerIP is the IP address of the server where you installed DRS.
Create an application in DRS (when creating an application, use the IP address):
1. Select the Applications tab.
2. Click the green () button at the top left of the Applications pane.
3. In the Name field (required), enter a name for the application.
4. In the DWS Server Address field (required), enter the Equitrac DWS hostname or the IP address.
5. In the Server Configuration list, select Equitrac only.
  
  Note: Each embedded device entry in System Manager must be associated with a physical device (MFP). After Unified Client for Epson v1.0 is installed, your device communicates with the Equitrac server specified during the installation and configuration via the DRS component and an embedded device entry is automatically created in the Equitrac system, only if you applied the software license before installing the software on the MFP.
6. In the DCE Server Address field (required), enter the IP address used by the Equitrac Server.
  
  Note: DCE and DWS must have the same IP address.
7. Click the Save () button.
Add a device in DRS:
1. Click the Devices tab.
2. Click the green () button at the top left of the Devices pane.
3. In the Name field (required), enter a name for the Epson device or device group that identifies it on the network.
4. In the Address field (required), enter the IP address of the device.
5. In the Application field, select the application you have created from the list.
6. In the Device Group field, select the device group from the list.
7. In the Card Reader PID field, enter the Card Reader Product ID (PID) of a USB card reader.
8. In the Card Reader VID field, enter the Card Reader Vendor ID (VID) of a USB card reader.
  
  Note: Card Readers are only supported in Keyboard Emulation Mode. Use the Reader Maintainer Tool available on the Kofax Downloads Web site (https://delivery.kofax.com/) to set it to Keyboard Emulation Mode (the card reader is set to Proprietary Mode by default).
9. In the Scan Destination field, enter the path of the shared folder where the scanned document is placed (for example 12.34.56.78/localpath). This folder is a DWS watch folder.
10. In the Scan Destination - User field, enter the administrator account name for the system.
11. In the Scan Destination - Password field, enter the administrator account password for the system.
12. In the DWS Local Scan Path field, enter local file path used to create sub folders and maintain the shared location. This file path must be the same as Scan Destination folder.
  
  Note: Scan Destination is a specific connection protocol share name of the watch folder where MFP sends scanned files using Scan Destination - User and Scan Destination - Password credentials. DWS looks for this same watch folder by monitoring DWS Local Scan Path.
13. Click the Save () button.
After saving the device details, go to Details > Select Action > Register Device with Server Application and click Run Action () to run the action. This 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.
Locate the auto-added device and configure it in Equitrac System Manager.
