About the Inbox Agent
The eCopy Inbox Agent is a Windows Service that is installed with the ShareScan OP Services
Manager. It allows the eCopy Desktop applicaton to connect to the user’s scan inbox using the
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) and the user’s inbox path in the list of registered users,
userdirs.txt.
Example: If you are logged on to your PC as <auser>, the eCopy Desktop application sends a UDP
message to the Inbox Agent requesting your scan inbox path. The agent looks up <auser> in
userdirs.txt and returns the path to eCopy Desktop, which uses it to open <auser>’s scan inbox.
If you do not enable the Inbox Agent, each eCopy Desktop user must manually configure the scan
inbox path in the eCopy Desktop Preferences window.
■ To enable the Inbox Agent, click Scan to Desktop in the console tree, select the Use Inbox
Agent check box, and then click Save .
■ To disable the Inbox Agent, click Scan to Desktop in the console tree, clear the Use Inbox
Agent check box, and then click Save .
Important! The default UDP server port is 9999 and the client port is 8888. The default multicast
server and client IP address is 239.254.5.6. If you need to change these settings, contact
Technical Support for assistance.
Important! If you have configured multiple connector profiles and you enable the Inbox Agent, all
the profiles must point to the same Inbox Management directory. When you save the
current profile, the ShareScan OP Services Manager automatically updates all additional
profiles with the same path and logon information specified in the profile that you are
saving.
