AXIS IP Installer Suitable for all sup-

ported networking environments.

DHCP Available in Windows

NT and UNIX. Recommended method on Windows NT networks

ARP Available in Windows 95/98, Windows NT, UNIX and OS/2,

Does NOT work over routers. Requires the IP address for each new device to be downloaded individually.

RARP Available in UNIX

only.

Supplied on the AXIS Network Product CD and available via the Axis web site, this is an Axis tool that simplifies the setting of IP addresses for all Axis ThinServerTM devices, including print servers, camer a servers, storage servers and document servers.

Note: you should not use AXIS IP Installer to set the IP address of the Document Server, if you have an active DHCP server on your network.

Operates on the entire network and allows for automatic but temporary assignment of IP addresses from a central pool. DHCP will, when enabled, cause the selected host to automatically allocate and download a free IP address, default router address and subnet mask to the requesting Document Server. It also provides validation data that defines how long the IP addresses will remain valid. This is the recommended method on networks, since it allows a number of parameters to be set automatically, provided the DHCP server has been configured to do so.

Downloads the IP address to each device automatically. It requires a RARP daemon on your system and operates within a single network segment only.

BOOTP Available in UNIX

only.

Similar to RARP, but operates on the entire network. It requires a BOOTP daemon on your system.

Using DHCP, A RP,

RARP and BOOTP

Use DHCP, ARP, RARP and BOOTP as an alternative to setting the IP address from the control panel or keyboard. Follow the appropriate instructions for the preferred method below.

Important!

Do not use the IP address used in any of the following examples.

Before you begin:

• Power - Make sure the Document Server is powered on and attached to the network.

• System Privileges - You will need administrator privileges on the Windows NT server

or root privileges on the UNIX system.

• Ethernet Address - Depending on the method you are using, you will need to know

the Ethernet address of your Document Server. The Ethernet address is based upon the Document Server serial number. You will find the number on the underside label.

• IP Address - Acquire an unused IP address from your Network Administrator.

Using DHCP Follow these steps to use the DHCP method:

1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP daemon. For Windows NT servers, refer to the “Windows NT Resource Kit” on how to do this. The entrie s mad e in th is scope typi cally incl ude the following parameters:

• Range of IP addresses

• Subnet mask

• Default router IP address

•Lease duration

• Mail server IP address

• DNS server IP address

• Domain name

• NTP server IP addres s

2. Activate the scope.

Notes:

Page 30

Basic Installation User’s Manual

Using ARP in

Windows

Important!

Windows 95 only: If the ARP table is empty, you must first ping an existing unit on your network before setting the IP address of your Document Server. Type arp -a to display the ARP table.

In Windows 95 and Windows NT, you can download the IP address using ARP. Perform the following commands to download the IP address and verify the communication.

From the DOS prompt,

arp -s <Internet address> <Ethernet address> ping <Internet address>

The

Ethernet address equals the serial number of the Document Server

type the following:

with each pair of digits separated by a hyphen.

Example:

arp -s 172.16.253.80 00-40-8c-11-00-86 ping 172.16.253.80

The host will return

‘Reply from 172.16.253.80...’ o r a si mila r messag e. Th i s

indicates that the address has been set and that the communication is established.

Notes:

• ARP is enabled by default but can be disabled by an Administrator using the System Settings page.

• Once the Document Server has established communication using an appropriate IP address, the arp/ping commands cannot be used to change the address. The reason for this is to avoid accidental or unauthorized changes of the IP address. Restart the Document Server to make it accept the setting of the IP address. You can perform a restart remotely via the Document Server web interface. See “Specifying the System Settings” on page 39.

• When you execute the ping command for the first time, the response time may be significantly longer than usual.

Page 31

User’s Manual Basic Installation

Using ARP in

UNIX and OS/2

In UNIX and OS/2, type the followin g co mm an ds to downlo ad the IP address and verify the communication:

arp -s <host name> <Ethernet or node address> temp ping <host name>

Ethernet ad dress or node address equals the Document Server serial

The number with each pair of digits separated by a colon.

Example:

arp -s spserv 00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp ping spserv

The host will return

‘spserv is alive’ or a similar message. This indicates

that the address has been set and that communication is established.

Notes:

• ARP is enabled by default but can be disabled by an Administrator using the System Settings page.

•The arp -s command may vary between different systems. Some BSD-type systems expect the host name and Ethernet address in reverse order. IBM AIX systems require the additional argument ether for Ethernet networks, e.g. arp -s ether spserv

00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp

• Once the Document Server has established communication using an appropriate IP address, the arp/ping commands cannot be used to change the address. The reason is to avoid accidental or unauthorized change of the IP address. Restart the Document Server to make it accept the setting. You can perform a restart remotely via the Document Server web interface. See “Specifying the System Settings” on page 39.

• When you execute the ping command for the first time, the response time may be significantly longer than usual.

Using RARP

in UNIX

Follow these steps to downl oad the IP address usi ng the RAR P method:

1. Append the following line to your Ethernet address table. This is typically performed by editing the file

/etc/ethers.

Example:

00:40:8c:24:c0:1c spserv

Page 32

Basic Installation User’s Manual

2. If necessary, update your host table and alias name databases as required by your system.

3. Start the RARP daemon, if it i s not already running. This is typic ally performed using the command

rarpd -a

4. Restart the Document Server to download the IP address.

Note:

RARP is enabled by default but can be disabled by an Administrator using the System Settings page.

Page 33

User’s Manual Basic Installation

Using BOOTP

in UNIX

Follow these steps to download the IP address using the BOOTP method:

1. Append the followi ng entry to your boot table. This is typically performed by editing the file

/etc/bootptab.

where:

ht ether for Ethernet vm rfc1048 ha The Ethernet or node address, i.e. the Document Server serial

number

ip The IP address of t he Document Server sm The subnet mask gw The default router address

Example:

spserv:ht=ether:vm=rfc1048:\ :ha=00408c24c01c:ip=172.16.253.80:\ :sm=255.255.0.0:gw=172.16.253.254

2. If necessary, update your host table and alias name databases as required by your syste m.

3. Start the BOOTP daemon , if it is not already running. This i s typically performed using the command

bootpd -a

4. Restart the Document Server to download the IP address, default router address and subnet mask.

Note:

BOOTP is enabled by default but can be disabled by an Administrator using the System Settings page.

Basic Installation User’s Manual

Mapping a Host Name to the IP Address

If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the acquired IP address. Refer to your system manuals or to your Network Administrator for instructions on how to perform the name mapping on your particular system.

Note:

If the host name has not been included in the system host table, you can still perform the following instructions on how to download the IP address. In this case, simply replace the host name entry with the IP address wherever needed.

Registering and

Resolving

Host Names

In order to register the host name of the Document Server in networks with dynamic IP address settings, WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) is supported. It is recommended that this method is used if you are setting the IP address of the Document Server using DHCP.

WINS host name

rules

WINS only supports 15 character long host names. If your host name is longer than 15 characters, the Document Server truncates the host name to 15 characters when registering with a WINS server.

Notes:

• The host name limitations conclude that the host name should be no longer than 15 characters and it should only contain the characters ‘A - Z’, ‘a-z’ and ‘-’.

• Refer to your system manuals or to your netwo rk administrator for instructions on how host name resolutions are performed on your system.

Verifying your Installation

After successful installation, the Document Server will verify the attached scanner device and display the name of the detected device. If the scanner device is not supported, an error message will be displayed.

Page 47

User’s Manual Configuring the Document Server

1. From the Protocols dialog, click the TCP/IP tag.

2. Check the appropriate checkbox to define your preferred method for

setting the IP address automatically, i.e. DHCP, BOOTP or RARP. For further information on these methods, refer to “Assigning an IP Address ”on page 24.

Notes:

• If DHCP, BOOTP or RARP is enabled, your manual settings might be overridden when you restart the Document Server.

• Depending on how your network has been configured, other Internet-related parameters such as the default router, subnet mask, mail server, time server etc. might also be set automatically. However, it is recommend that you verify the settings when the Document Server has been restarted and then enter any missing parameters manually.

3. Enter the IP address of your Document Server, e.g. 172.16.253.80

Notes:

• If the IP address is changed, you must re-establish the HTTP communication using the new address.

• You can also set the IP address from the Document Server control panel. Refer to “Assigning an IP Address” on page 24.

Page 48

Configuring the Document Server User’s Manual

4. Enter the IP address for the Default Router. All traffic directed outside

the local network (acc ording to the subnet mask) is sent to the default router. Any re-r outing via other rout ers is done au tomatica lly. The setting 0.0.0.0 indicates that no default router is set.

5. Specify the Subnet Mask used for determining when the traffic

should be sent via a router. This number combined with the IP address identifies on which network the Document Server is located. For example, the normal class C mask is 255.255.255.0. The setting

0.0.0.0 indicates that automatic router sensing is used.

6. Specify the D omain Name used by the Document Server for

identification on the DNS ser ver.

7. Specify the IP address of the Primary DNS Server. DNS (Domain

Name System) servers are used for identifying computers with names instead of IP Addresses.

8. Specify the IP addres s of the Secondary DNS Server that will be used

in case the primary DNS server is disconnected or unavailable.

9. Check this box to enable WINS (Windows Internet Name Service)

over TCP/IP. WINS allows Windows- based clients to locate NetBIOS resources on TCP/IP networks. WINS is disabled by default.

10. Specify the IP address of the Primary WINS server.

11. Optionally specify the IP add ress of a Secondar y WINS server. The

secondary WINS server will be used in case the primary WINS server is disconnected or unavailable.

Guidelines for

Format and

Compression

AXIS 70/70U

AXIS 7000

In editing or creating a new profil e it is necessary to spec ify the format and compression techniques that are to be employed. The table below highlights the significant benefits of each method.

Format Comments PDF

Notes:

The generated PDF image files do not contain searchable text. You can use Adobe Capture or the built-in capture function in Adobe Acrobat to make the text searchable.

Format Comments TIFF JFIF For color and grayscale images. Single page images only. PDF PCL Prof ile used for print destinations - black and white only.

For black/white, color and grayscale images. Both single- and multipage images are supported. Requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader.

For black/white and grayscale images. Both single- and multipage images are supported

For black/white, color and grayscale images. Both single- and multipage images are supported. Requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Notes:

AXIS 7000 onl y :

• Compression techniques are distinguished by whether they remove detail from the image. CCITT encoding is a family of lossless compression techniques for black/white images, of which CCIT G.4 is the most efficient compression method.

• JPEG is a "lossy" compression technique that effectively reduces file size by identifying and discarding extra data not essential to the display of the image.

• If you intend to manipulate a color image using an image editor, you are recommended to use uncompressed TIFF.

• Although the generated TIFF files do not contain searchable text, you can use an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) application to convert the bitmap to text that can be edited, indexed, searched or copied to other files.

Using the Document Server

This section describes how to use the Document Server and includes the following information, given from the perspective of a user:

Note:

The information in this manual applies to all Axis Document Server models unless otherwise stated.

• Sending methods

• Sending to destinations

• Sending multiple pages

• Adding temporary destinations and profiles

• Sending to the Web browser

• Viewing image files

Note:

“Configuring the Document Server” is targeted specifically to users responsible for the administration of the Document Server. Please refer to this section if you wish to access the Document Server as an Administrator.

Sending Methods

The Document Server supports the following basic methods for distributing scanned and copied documents over the network:

• Send-to e-mail destinations (AXIS 70/70U/7000)

• Send-to-file destinations (AXIS 7000 only)

• Send-to-printer destinations (AXIS 7000 only)

• Send-to-URL (AXIS 7000 only)

• Send-to-Web browser (AXIS 7000 only

Page 89

User’s Manual Using the Document Server

The AXIS 7000 allows document information from network attached document distribution devices, such as scanners or digital copiers to be distributed to e-mail, file and printer destinations.

In addition to the resident profiles and destinations established by your Administrator, users can also create both temporary e-mail destinations and prof il es , usi ng ei th er the Web- bas ed u ser inte rf a ce or user keyboard (if connected by your administrator).

Destinations Documents are typically distributed usin g the Document Server control

panel or an attached PC compatible keyboard (if connected by your administrator), to selected e-mail, file or printer destinations.

Users can add temporary e-mail destinations using the Web interface or keyboard if the destination you wish to send your document to does not exist in the destination list.

Contact your Administrator if you wish to add a new file or printer destination, or add a permanent e-mail address.

(AXIS 7000 only) If there is a keyboard connected to the AXIS 7000, and if the option to Specify a file name for a file destination (admin|Edit|User Options) is enabled by the administrator, the user can enter a new file name for the file destination or e- mail dest ination.

Page 90

Using the Document Server User’s Manual

Send-to-E-mail

AXIS 70/70U/7000

Send-to-File

AXIS 7000

This allows document images to be distributed to any e-mail address defined in the destination list. This service is often referred to as Internet faxing.

E-mail transfer uses the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) wher eby the document image is sent as a MIME-encoded e- mail attachment, or stored on a file server as an accessible hyperlink within an e-mail notification. Double-clicking the hyperlink or an e-mail attachment that is associated with an image viewer automatically starts the appropriate application.

This means that the document image is sent to and then stored on a networked storage device. This could be on a server, a client with a shared drive, a mainframe, or any chosen network device available to your filing system. Image files are distributed and archived using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) that facilitates the storage of files over the Internet.

Typically a file is sent to a specific software management application, for example groupware, document management and workflow systems.

Note:

Send-to-URL

AXIS 7000

Users can arrange to have their own directories on an FTP server to which they can send document image information. In operating systems like Windows 95/98 and Windows NT/2000, shortcuts to image directories can be placed directly on the user’s desktop. This gives easy access to the document image information.

It is strongly recommended that you ch oose the send-to- print funct ion for distributing documents to printer destinations. However, in some circumstances it may be desirable to send an image to a network printer using the send-to-file function instead. To do this, you must ensure that the destination printer supports FTP and PCL, or FTP and TIFF. Refer to the Axis web site for more information.

Sending to URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a combination of send-to-e-mail and send-to-file, where images/documents are stored on a file server. The recipient will receive an e-mail containing the URL (Web link) to the file, instead of an e-mail attachment. This off-loads the mail server from handling large attachments.

Authentication

This is a convenient method for users that do not have an e-mail address. It is also useful if you want to try a number of different profiles.

Simply place the document in your scanner device and access the AXIS 7000 from a standard Web browser. Scanning is triggered directly from your Web browser and the image is saved within the Web browser dialog. The Web browser displays the image in an associated viewer or asks you to save the file, depending on the associated image format.

This allows document images to be distributed to any printer defined in the AXIS 7000 destination list using either Raw TCP or LPD as printing method.

Raw TCP printing support means that you can distribute your document images across network segments to any TCP/IP printer connected on a local or remote network.

If the administrator has enabled authentication, the user must enter a user name and password to gain access to the Document S erve r. If the authentication process is not enabled, proceed to the next section“Sending to Destinations” on page 92.

1. When the following display appears, enter your user name and press Menu (on the control panel) or Tab (on the keyboard).

• The Document Server keeps all temporary settings in memory for 60 seconds from the last scan, and then resets all settings to the default settings.

Note: if authentication is enabled, the time span before memory reset is set by the administrator.

By scanning multiple pages, you can accumulate several pages into one image file. Multipage documents are by default, collated and output into a single PDF or TIFF image file.

Deselect the All pages in one file parameter only if you want each page to appear separately in several PDF or TIFF files.

Page 95

User’s Manual Using the Document Server

Notes:

• The JFIF format sends each page as one separate image file.

• The PCL format sends several pages in a single PCL file.

• Web browsers not supporting multipage image files require that the Multipage Documents parameter is set to Separate file for each page. Alternatively, scan each page using the Send button.

• Double-sided is only available if the scanner device supports duplexing.

Job Separation

Sheets

(AXIS 7000 only)

The AXIS 7000 supports the job separation sheets that can be used with certain scanner devices . A job separati on sheet insert ed in a stack of paper will divide the scanning job into separate image files. Other separation pages will be ignored. Visit the Axis web site for a comprehensive list of supported scanner devices with this feature.

Paper orientation on digital copiers

To receive an upright image, the setting should be “Portrait” and the paper should be placed with the short-edge in the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) or in the A4-R position on the flatbed inside the digital copier. This is true for all the supported digital copiers except Sharp AR-series which always supports the same orientation as wh en copying i.e. long-edge first.

Note:

The PDF rotation option can be used to enable the same feeder orientation as when copying i.e long-edge first.

Adding Temporary Destinations

The e-mail list resident within the Document Server is initially created by your administrator. If you want to send a scanned document to an e-mail destination that is not featured in the list, you can add a temporary e-mail destination using either:

• standard PC keyboard (AXIS 70/70U/7000)

• standard web browser (AXIS 7000)

Note:

The Administrator can disable the option for users to add temporary destinations in which case the New Destination button will not appear.
