Authentication credentials — a username, password and optional
network domain name that grants the Scan Station access to network
resources.
Challenge Response (CRAM-MD5) — an encryption algorithm used
for authenticating access to an email server.
Configuration file — an encrypted .xml file containing all the settings
for the device. Basically, a configuration file tells the Scan Station who it
is, how to scan and where to send the digital files.
Configuration Organizer — the software used to configure the Scan
Station and to create personal settings that are saved to a USB drive.
DHCP (Domain Host Control Protocol) — a network protocol that
dynamically assigns network addresses (IP addresses) to computers
and other network devices.
FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) — a human-readable name
linked to the IP address of a computer. It includes both the computer’s
host name and domain name.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) — a standard Internet protocol which is the
simplest way to exchange files between computers on the Internet. Like
the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which transfers displayable
Web pages and related files, and the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
(SMTP), which transfers email, FTP is an application protocol that uses
the Internet's TCP/IP protocols. FTP is commonly used to transfer Web
page files from their creator to the computer that acts as their server for
everyone on the Internet. It is also commonly used to download
programs and other files to your computer from other servers.
IP address (Internet Protocol) — used to reference computers on a
network. Addresses presented in a universal format of four, three-digit
numeric values separated by a period (e.g., 192.168.1.1).
KSS500 - Scanner Admin Application — this is the software that is
used to properly setup, configure and manage Scan Station devices
over a network in an efficient and productive manner.
NETBIOS (Network Basic Input Output System) — an API that allows
applications on different computers to communicate within a local area
network. NETBIOS is used in most physical topologies and is a staple
of Windows NT networks. A broadcast “protocol” that does not support
a routing mechanism, NETBIOS is often carried over other protocols to
allow its continued use in larger modern (routed) networks.
NETBIOS Name — also known as the computer name in Microsoft
Windows, the NETBIOS name is a unique name for the device. Only 15
characters can be used.
