Gateway and Network Configuration

Network Information Services (NIS/NIS+)

NIS and NIS+ are network lookup services that provide
information that must be known throughout the network as well as
all machines on the network.

The administrator can enable or disable either the NIS or NIS+
service. If either of these is enabled, the administrator must supply
the information requested by the text fields or choose “Find NIS+
server” which will provide this same information.

NOTE: The server must be configured to accept broadcast
requests.

Active Directory Service (ADS)

The Xerox FreeFlow Print Server interface provides a “wizard” that
enables the administrator to add ADS domains and permits Print
Server integration into Windows NT ADS networks.

Network filing configuration

In Network Configuration, the SM/FTP tab allows the administrator
to enable or disable filing using one of three different technologies:

1. SMB, the protocol behind WINS.

2. FTP, File Transfer Protocol.

3. SFTP, Secure File Transfer Protocol with encryption.

NOTE: If SMB is selected, the administrator must enable WINS
and specify a NetBIOS name.
