Network components used for digital-sending
The following table describes the network components used for digital sending.
Component Description
Network server running Windows® 2000
Professional, Server, or Advanced Server;
Windows XP Professional; or Windows
Server 2003 Standard or Enterprise Server
The server contains the following components:
●
HP DSS
●
HP MFP DSS Configuration Utility—used to configure and monitor digital-
sending features after the HP DSS program has been installed
●
Windows 2000 Fax service—required only when the Windows 2000 Fax
service is the method of fax transport
Network Fast Ethernet 100Base-TX or Ethernet 10Base-T
Digital senders or HP multi-function
peripheral (MFP) devices
An HP DSS server can support up to 1000 HP 9250C Digital Senders, HP 9200C
Digital Senders, or MFP devices on the same network. Each device can be
individually configured to support any or all of the digital-sending options.
NOTE: HP DSS does not support the HP 9100C or 8100C Digital
Senders.
Web browser Users can use a Web browser from any computer on the network to configure
and monitor the digital sender by using HP Web Jetadmin, or the digital sender's
embedded Web server.
SMTP-enabled e-mail server This gateway facilitates the e-mail and Internet fax digital-sending options.
LAN fax server (requires DSS) A LAN fax server is a network device that centrally handles the sending and
receiving of large numbers of fax jobs. HP DSS can be used to configure the
digital sender to route outgoing faxes to a LAN fax server.
LDAP server An LDAP server is a directory server that contains recipients' names and e-mail
addresses and supports Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). HP DSS
uses the LDAP server to obtain addresses for the digital-sender address book.
FTP server A file transfer protocol (FTP) server can be used as a destination for documents
scanned by the digital sender.
Domain controller/Novell directory server
(requires DSS)
In order to support user authentication, the digital sender must have access to
a domain controller or Novell directory server in order to validate the user's login
information.
Network printer (requires DSS) A network printer can be set up as a destination for documents scanned by the
digital sender.
Kerberos Domain Controller A Kerberos Domain Controller (KDC) provides Kerberos Authentication services
on the network. A Windows Domain Controller can be configured to act as a
Kerberos Domain Controller.
Novell Network Support (requires DSS) If Novell file servers are used on the network, HP DSS can write files into network
folders and support network fax folders that reside on Novell servers. The Novell
client software must be installed on the network and be configured correctly
before Novell-specific attributes can be configured in HP DSS.
