Installing a Fleet Agent

Fleet Agent installation package

After creating a Fleet Agent, install it on a server or host computer within the customer’s network. The Fleet Agent installation package can be downloaded or provided through a link emailed from the Cloud Fleet Management portal.

Note:  The size of the installation package is about 140MB.

Fleet Agent activation code

You need an activation code during setup of the Fleet Agent. You can obtain the code by clicking the Generate activation code link. The code registers the installed Fleet Agent with a Fleet Agent definition. You can associate a Fleet Agent definition with only a single Fleet Agent installation. If the code is not used within 72 hours, then you must generate a new code.

    Installing and activating a Fleet Agent

  1. From a server or host computer, run the Fleet Agent installation package.

  2. Accept the End-User License Agreement (EULA).

  3. Enter the port number.

    Notes:

    • The default port number is 80.
    • If port 80 is not available, then enter any available port, such as 8080 or 8088.

  4. Click Finish to close the installation window, and launch the Fleet Agent on a web browser.

  5. Enter the Fleet Agent's Activation Code, and then click Continue.

    6. Notes:

    • A proxy can be set.
    • You can apply a password to restrict access to the Fleet Agent.
    • You can also set the initial printer discovery and enrollment to be performed automatically after the Fleet Agent is activated.
    • After activation, the Fleet Agent details page shows its status as Communicating.

    Using a proxy with the Fleet Agent

    Sometimes you must change the proxy configuration after the Fleet Agent is installed. To change the proxy configuration, do the following:

  1. Open a web browser, and then type https://localhost:<portnumber>.

    Note:  <portnumber> is the port used when the Fleet Agent was installed. The default port number is 80.

  2. Click on the upper‑right corner of the Fleet Agent home screen to access the Proxy Configuration settings.

  3. Click Verify Proxy Settings.
