KYOCERA Fleet Services Security White Paper KFS Components There are four KFS components - KFS Manager, KFS Device, KFS Gateway and KFS Mobile. While each component plays multiple roles within the KFS system, collectively they have one primary purpose...to provide the information and tools needed to keep a print fleet running smoothly. To that end, these components enable service providers to optimize operation of Kyocera and non-Kyocera digital imaging systems. KFS Manager As noted, KFS Manager is the web-based user interface, accessible from a Web browser, that enables remote management of networked printers/MFPs. This component links to KFS Device, KFS Gateway and KFS Mobile and, as such, is considered the backbone of the KFS system. • Register/unregister device groups; each device is assigned to a group. • Create user accounts and assign roles, depending on tasks to be performed. Note: There are four user roles, Manager, Service, Analyst and Customer. Important: Only authorized users can view Device Logs, Counters and Consumables. • Perform many tasks, such as Notifications, Maintenance, Restart, Reports, Logs, etc. • Establish communication preferences for all tasks. KFS Device KFS Device is firmware built into the Kyocera printer/MFP that enables communication with KFS Manager and KFS Mobile. • Sends device logs, counters and status pages to KFS Manager, based on preset requests and schedules. • Sends device information to KFS Mobile via Bluetooth®, USB or Wi-Fi Direct. • During device set up, the technician enters the Server Registration URL and Access Code for the applicable group (on the machine); the unit initiates communication with KFS Manager. You can then add the device to KFS Manager's Devices page. Fig. 1: KFS Manager / Devices 6|PAGE
