Network

Fast Ethernet 100Base-TX or Ethernet 10Base-T

Digital senders or HP multi-function

An HP DSS server can support up to 1000 HP 9250C Digital Senders, HP 9200C

peripheral (MFP) devices

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

In order to support user authentication, the digital sender must have access to

(requires DSS)

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.
