Fax Server
The fax server refers to the computer equipped with a fax modem or a dedicated fax
board connected with a telephone line. It is used for sending faxes.
This scanner supports the following fax servers:
 RightFax
 Kofax Communication Server
 Internet FAX
This fax server can be used to send the scanned data by fax.
DNS server
The function of DNS servers is the translation (resolution) of humanly memorable host
names and FQDN into the corresponding numeric IP addresses.
WINS Server
The WINS server handles name registration requests from WINS clients and registers
their names and IP addresses with the server database. The WINS server responds to
NetBIOS name queries submitted by clients and returns the IP address of the queried
name if it is listed in the server database.
In addition, when a DNS name resolution fails, the query can be transferred to the WINS
server.
DHCP Server
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is an auto-configuration protocol used for
an IP network. Network administrator intervention is not required when the DHCP server
is used because it assigns the IP addresses of scanners as well as computers
automatically.
NTP Server
NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a protocol to synchronize the time of computers on the
network with the correct time.
It is used when a client makes a time query through the network.
SNMP Manager
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol for managing network.
This scanner supports the SNMP version of SNMP v1 only.
The SNMP manager is software for managing devices that support the SNMP protocol.
