Installation FAQs
Q: I'm having technical problems installing the Data Collector Agent (DCA).
A: From our experience, the two most common issues are:
1) The .net framework is not installed. Solution: Install the .net framework 3.5 or 4.
2) Installation is blocked by a proxy server. Solution: Provide security details to enable the DCA to communicate out of the network. Please refer to the installation guide for the correct configuration procedure.
Q: What do I do if I encounter a problem during installation?
A: First step is to refer to the installation guide and confirm the system is up to specification and meets the minimum requirements. If you continue to have issues you can call the OPS helpdesk on 1300 554 441.
Q: What versions of .NET framework are required?
A: The DCA will work with .NET 3.5 and 4.0.
Q: How much traffic or network load is caused by the DCA?
A: In the following listing you find the DCA traffic compared to loading a single web page:

Q: Where do I get the activation code for the DCA?
A: You generate the code at the time of installation, via the PrintFleet web page, and the DCA admin tab.
Q: Is there a limit to the amount of devices monitored by one DCA?
A: It is good practice to have multiple DCAs if your enterprise network spans many subnets. The amount of devices monitored by one DCA is limited by the scan time for each device. Ideally one DCA is used for up to 1000 devices to allow the DCA the time to collect the data.
