Network configura-
tion details Because the Scan Station is a network device, a basic knowledge of
networking principals and terminology is helpful. You should be familiar
with the concept of creating user accounts (on domains), sharing
folders, setting access privileges, the Universal Naming Convention
(UNC), using IP addresses, fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) and
creating user groups.
NOTE: Some of the concepts covered in this section assume
knowledge of Microsoft NT Domains and permissions. Refer to
your documentation for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or
Windows Server 2008 for more information.
Best practices Scan Station user groups — for network domain environments, you
should create a user group for all Scan Stations. This group will be
used to hold account names that are assigned to each Scan Station.
Minimally, there should be one account name that is assigned to each
Scan Station. Optimally, each Scan Station should be assigned its own
unique username and password and these accounts should be
contained within a group that is reserved specifically for Scan Stations.
These account names will be used when configuring the Scan Station’s
network settings and entered into the Username, Password, and
Network Domain fields.
NOTE: The Scan Station groups and login names must be given
appropriate privileges to access the network resources that the
user will see as Destination selections at the Scan Station.
Workgroup environments — for network environments that use the
Microsoft “Workgroup” configuration, you may be required to create an
account name and password to be assigned to Scan Stations. These
account names will be used when configuring the Scan Station’s
network settings and entered into the Username and Password fields.
The Network Domain field should be left blank in Workgroup
environments.
Network folders — it is recommended that you create network folders,
for either Destination or Remote Configuration, that can be accessed
(minimally read, write, change access) by any Scan Station login
account or by the user group created for Scan Stations.
UNC names for folders — you will need to know the fully qualified
UNC name for each network folder that will be used by your Scan
Station(s). When configuring network destinations, this will be the
information entered into the
Address field of the Add: Network Folder
dialog box. For example, you could create a folder called “scanfolder”
on a server called “acmeserver” that would be reserved for Scan
Station access. You would reference it by the following UNC name:
\\acmeserver\scanfolder.
