4 Using the DS-L1 via a Network

SettingsAdding a user

Create a new user account.

1)From the [Start] menu, select [Programs] - [Administrative Tools] - [User Manager].

2)Enter a user ID and a password. To ensure that the same information has been set for External Server in the Network Settings of the DS-L1, enter the user ID and the password using ten alphanumeric characters in lower- or uppercase.

3)For [Group], set to Users (limited user, document saving allowed) or above.

Specifying the home directory and enabling files to be written to it

Enable image files to be written from the DS-L1 to the PC by FTP.

1)From the [Start] menu, select [Programs] - [Microsoft Peer Web Services] - [Internet Service Manager].

2)Select a PC name.

3)In the ensuing [Properties] dialog box, select [Service Properties] and the [Directory] tab.

4)Choose a display directory and edit properties. Here, specify the home directory to which image files are to be transferred. Also select the [Write] check box to enable writing to the home directory. When image files are transferred, the FTP Dir. specified on the DS-L1 side is created at a location below this home directory, and the image files are saved in that directory.

Example: If the home directory is “C:\DSFTP” and the FTP Dir. specified on the DS-L1 side is “FTPIBOX,” then the FTP transfer directory is “C:\DSFTP\FTPIBOX\.”

Other settingsWhen enabling logon as an “anonymous” user

In order to discriminate the user by which image files are written to the FTP server, we in the above settings adopted a method to log in with a user ID and a password. However, it is possible to log in as an “anonymous” user.

1)When setting External Server in Network Settings of the DS-L1, select “anonymous” for the User ID and “none” for the Password.

2)Enable the FTP server PC for anonymous access.

As in home directory settings, select the [Allow Anonymous Logon] check box on the [Security Account] tab in the [Preset FTP Sites] properties window. Be aware that if you select the [Allow Only Anonymous Logon] check box, no one but an anonymous user can log on.
