Managing devices

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

You also need to install software on your device to enable it to connect to and use Tungsten TotalAgility by doing the following:

  1. Go to the online or offline documentation and locate the MFP administrator's guide for the device.

  2. Download the MFP client software from Devices.

  3. Follow the instructions in the MFP administrator's guide to set up the client software.

  4. Register the device in Devices.

    A Tungsten button is added to the MFP front panel.

When you click the Tungsten button, the MFP connects to Tungsten TotalAgility. Tungsten TotalAgility automatically adds the MFP to the available devices list in Devices. For mobile devices, the actions are similar: when the device connects to Tungsten TotalAgility, Tungsten 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, Tungsten 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.
