Network Environment
The network environment required to use the ScanFront is described below. To obtain details on your network environment, contact
your network administrator.
❏ Network Environment
● Microsoft WindowsNetwork
Use the scanner in a Microsoft Windows Network
environment.
● Network Protocol
The scanner uses TCP/IP protocol to connect to the
network.
● IP Address Assignment
The TCP/IP protocol uses one IP address for each
device connected to the network. Consult your network
administrator to determine the IP address to assign to
the scanner.
● DHCP Support
The scanner supports DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol). A DHCP server provides a
network environment in which IP addresses can be
obtained automatically from the DHCP server, so there
is no need to set an IP address for the scanner.
* The number of IP addresses that can be obtained using
DHCP is managed by the network administrator. For
details, consult your network administrator.
● 100Base-TX Support
The scanner supports 100Base-TX. However,
communication may be slower than the communication
speed of the network, depending on the other devices
connected to the network and the type of hub.
● SMTP (E-mail) Server
The scanner supports an SMTP server, so you can send
image files directly from the scanner by e-mail.
● FTP Server
The FTP server function supports an FTP server
configured within the local network, and is unable to
send to an FTP server that requires firewall settings.
❏ Directory Service Support
● Active Directory
Active Directory is a directory service adopted by
Windows 2000, and information registered to Active
Directory can be used on other computers. The
ScanFront allows user information registered to the
domain server registered as the authentication server to
be used for authentication to log in to the ScanFront.
* A domain server that uses Windows NT Server for the
operating system cannot be registered as an
authentication server.
● LDAP Server
The scanner supports LDAP (Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol) servers that can be connected to with
the LDAP protocol, so it is possible to reference and use
mail addresses registered on an LDAP server.
