System requirements

This section provides system requirements for the MFP products and the HP DSS server to run HP DSS and the HP MFP DSS Configuration Utility.

Requirements for installing HP DSS

The following are the requirements for installing and running HP DSS:

●A network server running Windows 2000 Professional, Server, or Advanced Server; Windows XP Professional; or Windows 2003 Standard or Enterprise Server, with Internet Explorer 4.0 or later. Administrator privileges are required to install the software on this computer.

●One or more digital sending devices that are available on a network through TCP/IP connections. All computers that are running the HP DSS and all digital-sending-enabled MFPs and digital senders should be configured to use static TCP/IP addresses. If dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) is used, the lease assignment must be permanent.

●A license key for HP DSS, which is a 20-digit code that is printed in a License-to-use document. See Licensing for more information about using the license.

●Access to at least one SMTP gateway server.

To enable send-to-fax capabilities, one of the following fax methods must be available:

●A third-party local area network (LAN) fax software and hardware product. Make sure that the LAN fax product is already installed and functional. Record where the LAN fax working folder (directory) is located and verify read/write access to the folder.

●A third-party Internet fax service provider (IFSP). Record the domain of the IFSP and the e-mail address of one registered user.

●A Windows 2000/XP fax service, with a fax modem installed on the HP DSS server.

Enabling user authentication requires access to a Microsoft Windows NT Domain, a Novell NetWare Directory Server (NDS) or Bindery Server, and an LDAP server database that contains end-user e-mail addresses. Microsoft Exchange 5.5, Microsoft Windows 2000 Active Directory, and Lotus Domino are support services that can function as LDAP servers.

Supported platforms

The HP DSS supports multiple network operating systems and client operating systems.

Network operating systems

HP DSS is directly connected to a TCP/IP network through a Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003 server. It operates independently within the following network operating environments:

●Windows Server 2003, Windows XP Professional, and Windows 2000

●Fast Ethernet 100Base-TX, Ethernet 10Base-T, or 10Base-2 (BNC)

NOTE The HP Jetdirect printer server that comes installed in the MFP provides Ethernet connections.
