Fleet Setup Guide

The Fleet > Setup Guide screen provides a quick and easy way to deploy Fleet Analytics by guiding you through the required steps. After each step is completed, a green check mark is shown on the right-hand side of the step to indicate that you've completed the step.

Note: The Setup Guide is intended to be used for initial setup. You cannot skip steps in the guide, and you must complete the preceding steps before you can proceed to the next step.

The following outlines the steps you need to follow to configure Device Scout:

Step 1: Install on-premises components

  1. Save the Site Encryption Key. The Site Encryption Key protects the site keys, which are used for encrypting print jobs. The encryption key is required to download the Device Scout and the master Print Scout. See Save Site Encryption Key for more information.
  2. Configure Printer Host Address. Define the host addresses for the printers on your network. This information will be used by the Device Scout to find your printers. See Configure Printer Host Address.
  3. Download Device Scout. Download the Device Scout, which scans your network to discover devices and collect comprehensive device information. The Device Scout only becomes available for download after confirming that the Site Encryption Key has been saved. See Download Device Scout.
  4. Install Device Scout on a Windows Server machine. Install the downloaded Device Scout package on a supported Windows server machine. See Install a Device Scout

Step 2: Start using Fleet Analytics

  1. Discover Printers. After you have successfully installed the Device Scout, it will automatically start scanning your configured IP ranges for network print devices. See Discover Printers.
  2. Review Printers. The Review button takes you to the Meter view in Pharos Cloud so you can review the devices discovered by the Device Scout. See Review Printers.
