1 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.
Required third party software, Java 2 SDK and PostgreSQL is provided.
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 or later is needed to install KYOCERA

Upgrade KYOCERA Net Admin
You can upgrade your older version of KYOCERA Net Admin to the latest
version. Depending on your current version, the following upgrade operations
are required:
All older versions – back up the database, and then restore the database
after installing the new version.
Versions 1.03, 1.04, 1.5 – save settings such as firmware files and Map view
background images, and then manually import them into the new version.
When upgrading from version 2.0 to version 3.x, the Accounting Manager and
Print Job Manager consoles are not supported in the new version.
Since KYOCERA Net Admin 3.x uses agents to communicate with devices,
networks are migrated to the new version with a link to a Local Agent. You
must install local or remote agents using the Add Network wizard or the standalone agent installer.
Devices are migrated as unmanaged and not connected, and are displayed with
default settings. After installation, you should run Networks and Agents > Start
Discovery (Administration console) and Add Devices (Device Manager
