eCopy ShareScan OP Installation and Setup Guide | 203
Installation Environment
eCopy ShareScan OP is a client/server-based application. The ShareScan OP Services Manager on a
ScanStation supports a single digital copier or scanner.
This section describes the hardware, software, and network requirements for setting up the eCopy
ShareScan OP Services Manager and eCopy-enabled scanning devices. Please complete the
worksheets in this chapter before your scheduled installation and make sure that all devices are
configured as required.
Network environment
eCopy ShareScan OP uses TCP ports for communication between the client application and the
server application on the PC running the Services Manager. Several ports must be available (not
blocked) in order to enable this communication (see "Firewall and switch worksheet" on page 207).
Internal network traffic between the client and server is minimal.
You can use multicast UDP to automatically discover and connect to other Services Managers for
remote administration.
eCopy ShareScan OP runs on domain-based networks and in workgroup environments. In a
domain environment, the system supports both static and dynamic IP addresses. The Domain
Name System (DNS) is used to resolve host names in a domain environment. In a workgroup
environment, all eCopy-enabled devices and Services Managers must have static IP addresses.
ShareScan OP does not support network attached storage (NAS) devices.
A ScanStation is networked to a scanning device. If the scanning device is not on the same network
segment as the ScanStation, there can be performance issues.
