AXIS 700 User’s Manual Section 1: Introduction

Section 1 Introduction

The AXIS 700 Network Scan Server

The AXIS 700 connects digital copiers and document scanners to Ethernet networks. Together with a scanning device, such as a digital copier or a scanner, it allows information such as documents, photographs and reports to be sent across the enterprise environment or around the world. The AXIS 700 can also be integrated with workflow and document management systems.

By sending the digital documents to the destination via the Internet/intranet, you will save time and faxing/mailing costs, and

thus improve your organization’s efficiency.

The AXIS 700 is a stand-alone unit, located beside the scanning device. You need one AXIS 700 for each scanning device.

We suggest that you place the scanning device and the AXIS 700 in the workgroup area, e.g. next to your printers and facsimile machines. This makes it convenient to distribute information electronically to email addresses and application servers.

Section 1: Introduction AXIS 700 User’s Manual

Features and Benefits

File Server

Independence

The AXIS 700 is connected as a node in an Ethernet network, enabling scanning devices to be accessed through the network, via Internet and intranet-related protocols. It can be used independently of file servers, i.e. communication takes place directly between the network client and the AXIS 700, without network licensing fees. This results in high performance and reliability.

Simplicity The file-server independent approach makes the installation quick and

convenient. In most environments, the physical connection to the network is the only installation required prior to using the AXIS 700. No software needs to be installed on clients or file servers, except for applications for viewing the generated images in TIFF, JPEG and PDF format.

Internet/Intranet

Web Server

The built-in Web server enables access to the AXIS 700 from any standard Web browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. Thus, the AXIS 700 can be accessed from Windows, OS/2, Macintosh and UNIX workstations. The support includes scanning to Web browser and Administration tools.

Ease of Use The AXIS 700 is designed to be as easy as possible to install and use:

• No special software to learn

• Integrated scanning device drivers, image-file creation and network transfer methods

• Auto-detection of scanning device type at start-up

• Auto-selection of sheetfeeder or flatbed

• Destinations and profiles saved for regular use

• List of external e-mail addresses supported

Page 10

AXIS 700 User’s Manual Section 1: Introduction

Flexibility From the AXIS 700 control panel, you can send scanned documents

directly to e-mail addresses and files on FTP servers or desktop file directories. You can also use a standard Web browser to trigger and save scanned documents. The available range of transfer methods and image formats enables you to adapt the AXIS 700 to your needs rather than the other way around.

Speed The AXIS 700 uses the AXIS ETRAX chip, a 32 bit RISC processor,

and supports scanning devices with built-in compression and imageprocessing modules.

Security The Administration tools can be protected by password.

Maintenance Updated software can easily be downloaded to the Flash memory of

the AXIS 700 over the network using FTP.

As an alternative to the AXIS 700 control panel, you can use one of these methods for downloading the IP address: DHCP, ARP, RARP or BOOTP. All methods are enabled by default. If necessary, you can disable the RARP, BOOTP and DHCP methods by editing the configuration parameters.

The main characteristics of each of these methods are:

DHCP server on your network and operates on the entire network. It 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 an unused IP address, default router address and subnet mask to the requesting AXIS 700. It also provides validation data that defines how long the IP addresses will remain valid.

It requires the IP address for each new device to be downloaded individually. Note that ARP does not work over routers.

device automatically. It requires a RARP daemon on your system and operates within a single network segment only.

BOOTP BOOTP is available in UNIX. BOOTP is similar to RARP, but

operates on the entire network. It requires a BOOTP daemon on your system.

Procedures for using each of the methods are outlined later in this section.

Mapping a Host Name

to the IP Address

Note:

Do not use the IP address used in the examples.

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.

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.

Section 2: Basic Installation AXIS 700 User’s Manual

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 entries made in this scope typically include 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 address

2. Activate the scope.

In the AXIS 700 configuration file, DHCP is enabled by default. The IP address and all the other settings will be downloaded automatically. You do not need to restart the AXIS 700.

Using ARP in

Windows

Important!

In Windows 95/98 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 <IP address> <Ethernet address> ping <IP address>

The

Ethernet address equals the serial number of the AXIS 700

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 172.19.2.254...’ or a similar

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

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 AXIS 700. Type

arp -a to display the ARP table.

Notes:

Once the AXIS 700 has established communication using an

appropriate IP address, the

arp/ping commands can be used to

change the IP address only for 30 minutes. From then on it is locked until you restart your AXIS 700. The reason for this is to avoid accidental or unauthorized changes of the IP address. Restart the AXIS 700 to make it accept the setting of the IP address. You can perform a restart remotely via the AXIS 700 web interface. See “Specifying System Settings ”on page 46.

o When you execute the

ping command for the first time, the

response time may be significantly longer than usual.

Page 25

Section 2: Basic Installation AXIS 700 User’s Manual

Using ARP in

UNIX and OS/2

Notes:

In UNIX and OS/2, type the following commands to download the IP address and verify the communication:

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

Ethernet address or node address equals the AXIS 700 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.

arp -s command may vary between different systems. Some

The

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 AXIS 700 has established communications using an

appropriate IP address, the

arp/ping commands can be used to

change the address only for 30 minutes. From then on it is locked until you restart your AXIS 700. The reason is to avoid accidental or unauthorized change of the IP address. Restart the AXIS 700 to make it accept the setting. You can perform a restart remotely via the AXIS 700 web interface. See “Specifying System Settings ”on page 46.

Scanning Methods

The AXIS 700 supports four methods for distributing digital documents over the network:

• Scanning to an e-mail destination

• Scanning to a file destination

• Scanning to a Web browser

• Scanning to URL (scan to e-mail and scan to FTP)

You can use any or all of these methods, depending on your specific needs.

Page 55

Section 4: Using the AXIS 700 AXIS 700 User’s Manual

Destinations Scanning to destinations, i.e. e-mail and file destinations, is performed

directly via the AXIS 700 control panel. This is typically how the AXIS 700 will be used. However, the Administrator must first set up the destinations from the Web browser interface.

E-mail Scanning to e-mail allows sending scanned images as e-mails to

anyone defined in the destination list. It makes it easy to forward image files to yourself and others. This method is what is now de facto called Internet faxing.

The e-mail transfer uses the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The image is MIME-encoded and will be sent as an e-mail attachment.

If an application, e.g. an image viewer, has been associated with the image type, double-clicking on the e-mail attachment starts the appropriate application.

File Scanning to file means that the scanned images are stored on a

network storage device. This could be on a server, a client with a shared drive, a mainframe, or whatever device is accessible via the network as a file system. The distribution of the image files is achieved using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). FTP potentially enables storing of files over the Internet.

You will typically scan to a file when specific software, e.g. groupware, document management and workflow systems, takes care of the scanned information.

All users can have a directory of their own on the FTP server to which they can send scanned information. In operating systems like Windows 95/98 and Windows NT, shortcuts to the directories where

images are stored can be placed on the user’s desktop. This gives easy access to the scanned information.

You can also print scanned images directly from a network printer by sending the scanned image to a network print server. To do this, the print server must support FTP and include a TIFF module. Refer to the AXIS 700 Support Web for more information.

Page 56

AXIS 700 User’s Manual Section 4: Using the AXIS 700

Web Browser Scanning to a Web browser is a convenient method for users that

infrequently send information or users that do not have an e-mail address. It is also useful if you want to try a number of scanning profiles.

You place the document in the scanning device and access the AXIS 700 from a standard Web browser. You can then trigger it directly from the Web browser and save the image within the Web browser dialog. Depending on the image format used, the Web browser will display the image in an associated viewer or ask you to save the file.

Data is sent directly between the AXIS 700 and the user, i.e. peer-topeer. This results in minimum network load, and normally no data will be sent over the backbone of the network.

Scan to URL Scanning to URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a combination of

scan-to-e-mail and scan-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.

Page 57

Section 4: Using the AXIS 700 AXIS 700 User’s Manual

Scanning to Destinations

Note:

Before scanning to an e-mail address or a file, the Administrator

must have set up the destinations as described in “Specifying Destinations” on page 40.

Perform these instructions from the AXIS 700 control panel:

1. The AXIS 700 display shows “

Send to: xxxxxx” when it is

ready for use. For example:

6HQGWR $FFRXQWLQJ'HSW

2. Use to scroll through the destination list, until you find the desired destination. Press and hold the key to autorepeat the scrolling. If n eeded, you can add e-mail destin ations temporarily. See “Adding Temporary Destinations ”on page 59.

3. If you want to send the image to more than one destination, press Enter to select each destination:

6HQGWR    ✓ $FFRXQWLQJ'HSW

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, until all desired destinations are selected.

Note:

Be careful not to transmit images to an unwanted destination.

The scanned image will always be sent to the destination currently shown in the display, whether explicitly selected or not.

5. Optionally, press Menu to change the default settings for scanning parameters. You can select temporary settings for profile, paper size and double-sided. Use to select the desired value.

Note: o Press Cancel to reset all temporary settings to the default

values.

6. Insert a single page on the flatbed or a stack of paper into the sheet feeder of the attached scanning device.

Page 58

AXIS 700 User’s Manual Section 4: Using the AXIS 700

One single page or a stack of paper in the sheet feeder:

a. Press Send to scan and send the image to the

destination in one step.

Several separate pages or stacks of papers:

a. Press Scan to scan each page. b. Insert the next page and press Scan again. Repeat the

procedure until all the pages have been scanned.

c. Press Send to transmit the image to the destination.

During the scanning this message appears on the display:

6FDQQLQJ SOHDVHZDLW

7. When you have pressed Send and the transfer of the scanned image is completed, the AXIS 700 is released for other users to access.

Notes:

By scanning multiple pages, you can accumulate several pages into

one image file. See “Multipage Image Files” on page 57.

If no operations are performed within one minute of allocation,

the AXIS 700 will return to its default settings.

The AXIS 700 keeps all temporary settings in memory for one

minute after the last scanning job, and then returns to its default settings.

Multipage Image Files When scanning multiple pages, you can accumulate all the pages in

one image file. This applies to the TIFF and PDF formats only. To utilize this feature, you must use a profile with the Multipage Documents parameter set to All pages in one file. This is the default setting.

Page 59

Section 4: Using the AXIS 700 AXIS 700 User’s Manual

Notes:

The JPEG format always sends each page as one separate image

file.

Not all TIFF viewers support multipage image files. In that case,

you must use a profile with the Multipage Documents parameter set to Separate file for each page, or use Send to scan each

page.

Double-sided is only available if the scanning device supports

duplexing.

Job Separation Sheets The AXIS 700 supports the job separation sheets that can be used with

the Canon DR-3020 scanner. A job separation sheet inserted in a stack of paper will divide the scanning job into separate image files. Other separation pages will be ignored.

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.

Notes:

Setting the PDF Options parameter enables you to insert the

document in the same orientation as you do when you copy, i.e. with the long edge first. Click Scanning Profiles and PDF Options >> in order to set the parameter. This option only affect scanned documents in PDF output format. TIFF or JFIF format documents are not affected. All PDF profiles are affected and cannot be changed at the moment of scanning.

Before using the AXIS 700, you must exit the power save mode

on some digital copiers. This is done by pressing the On/Off button on the copier.

o Before scanning some copiers must be set in “scan” mode. For

Canon machines you do that by pressing the SYSTEM button and then choose SCSI and the ONLINE position. For Ricoh Aficio 401 machines the scan mode is set by pushing the SHARE MODE button and then choosing SCANNER.

AXIS 700 User’s Manual Section 4: Using the AXIS 700

Adding Temporary Destinations

If you want to send a scanned document to an e-mail destination that does not appear in the destination list on the AXIS 700 display, you can add it temporarily from the Web browser interface.

Note:

The Administrator might not allow users to add temporary e-mail

destinations.

1. Start the Web browser.

2. Enter the name IP address of your AXIS 700 on the location/address line:

Example

http://172.19.2.254

3. This brings you to the AXIS 700 Home Page. Click Destinations.

4. The table lists the available destinations. Click New Destination >> and specify the settings for the new destination.

5. Click OK to save the destination temporarily. Note that only the five most-recently added temporary destinations will appear in the destination list. Contact your Administrator if you want to add a destination permanently.

Page 61

Section 4: Using the AXIS 700 AXIS 700 User’s Manual

Note:

All temporary destinations are erased when the AXIS 700 is shut

down or re-started.

Adding Temporary Profiles

If you have tried all the available profiles and are still not satisfied with the result, you can add a temporary profile from the Web browser interface.

Note:

The Administrator might not allow users to add temporary

profiles.

1. Start the Web browser.

2. Enter the name or IP address of your AXIS 700 on the location/address line:

Example

http://172.19.2.254

3. This brings you to the AXIS 700 Home Page. Click Scanning Profiles.

4. The table lists the available profiles. Click New Profile and specify your settings. If you place a document in the scanning device, you can click Scan to monitor the results.

5. Click OK to save the profile temporarily. Contact your Administrator if you want to add a profile permanently.

Notes: o Only the five most-recently added temporary profiles will appear

in the list.

o All temporary profiles are erased when the AXIS 700 is shut down

or re-started.

Page 62

AXIS 700 User’s Manual Section 4: Using the AXIS 700

Scanning Parameters

For each scanning job, you can specify these parameters:

•Profile

• Paper size

•Double-sided

From the AXIS 700 control panel, you press Menu to scroll through the menu. Use to find the desired value.

Note:

If you do not specify anything, the default settings will be used.

Profile The AXIS 700 comes pre-installed with 8 standard profiles designed

to cover most needs. The profiles are maintained by the Administrator. If you have permission, you can define your own temporary profiles. See “Adding Temporary Profiles” on page 60.

Select a profile based on what is being scanned. Documents typically use one of the Text profiles. Pictures could use one of the Text/Photo, Gray or Color profiles.

Scanning color images to JPEG is more time consuming due to the amount of computation performed by the AXIS 700. Therefore, do not scan in higher resolution than needed, e.g. for web publishing of color images, “Color low” (75 dpi) should be sufficient.

The pre-defined Text profiles use the most efficient compression, CCITT G4, which minimizes the file size but affects performance. To get higher performance you can change the compression to CCITT G3, but then the file size will be larger.

If you intend to manipulate a color image using an image editor, it is recommended that you use uncompressed TIFF. Uncompressed TIFF may, however, generate very large files.

Apart from the predefined profiles below we also recommend two profiles which generate PDF documents. For recommended profiles, see “Specifying Profiles” on page 48.

Page 63

Section 4: Using the AXIS 700 AXIS 700 User’s Manual

Note:

Depending on your scanning device, some profiles may not be

valid or useful. For instance, color profiles are useless for black/white scanning devices, unless they can do gray-scale scanning.

This table outlines when to use the predefined profiles

publishing, since the image is larger than what the display will show. The JPEG format cannot generate multipage files. This profile can al so be used in combination with non-color scanning devices. The generated image will be a gray-scale image, which is significantly smaller than it would be if you used the Gray high profile.

Color pictures suitable for web publishing, databases, clip art in documents etc. The JPEG format cannot generate multipage files.

Black/white pictures, diagrams etc. which require more detail. Generates 16 shades of gray.

Black/white pictures suitable for web publishing. Generates 16 shades of gray.

Black/white documents intended for OCR, or documents containing small text. Suitable for most kind of document scanning. This is the default profile.

Black/white documents containing very small text. Excellent for OCR. If the scanning device does not support 600 dpi, its maximum resolution will be used instead.

Black/white documents not intended for OCR, or documents containing large text, e.g. invoices. Suitable when maximum scanning speed and minimum file size is required.

Black/white documents with pictures. The pictures are dithered to create a rasterized effect. Especially good for faxing. Not suitable for OCR. As an alternative, try a grayscale profile.

Notes:

The default profile is Text.

o You can select another profile to become the default profile by

changing the appropriate parameters on the Destination Defaults page. You reach this page by clicking Destinations and Destination Defaults >>. After a factory default reset, however, the Text profile is yet again set to be the default profile.

Page 64

AXIS 700 User’s Manual Section 4: Using the AXIS 700

Paper Sizes The AXIS 700 comes pre-installed with 14 paper sizes designed to

cover most needs. See the table page 50. The paper sizes are maintained by the Administrator.

Notes:

The default paper size is Letter.

You can select another paper size to become the default paper size

by changing the Paper Size parameter on the Profile Defaults page. You reach this page by clicking Scanning Profiles and Profile Defaults >>. After a factory default reset, however, the Letter paper size is yet again set to be the default paper size.

Double-sided If supported by the attached scanning device, you can select

Double-sided to scan both sides of a page simultaneously. This option is also known as duplex and may be referred to by that term in your scanning device documentation.

Notes:

In the default mode, double-sided is turned off.

To enable double-sided scanning, you must edit the profile you

want to use.

Section 4: Using the AXIS 700 AXIS 700 User’s Manual

Scanning to the Web Browser

Follow these steps to send the scanned image to your Web browser:

1. Place the material in the scanning device.

2. Start the Web browser.

3. Enter the name or IP address of the AXIS 700 on the

location/address line:

Example

http://172.19.2.254

4. This brings you to the AXIS 700 Home Page, the Scan Document page.

We recommend that you add the address as a bookmark, or as a

link on the department or workgroup’s Web page.

5. Optionally change the default scanning profile.

6. Click Scan and wait for the image to appear in your Web browser.

Depending on the image format specified by the scanning profile, the Web browser will display the image in an associated viewer or ask you to save the file. For further processing, you must save the image from within the viewer as the Web browser will normally use a temporary file name.

Page 66

AXIS 700 User’s Manual Section 4: Using the AXIS 700

7. If you are not satisfied with the result, you can try one of the other available profiles or set up a new one by clicking Custom >>.

8. If you have additional documents to scan, click Reserve Scanner to lock the unit for your own use and then complete the scanning from the AXIS 700 control panel.

9. Insert a single page on the flatbed or a stack of paper into the sheetfeeder of the attached scanning device.

Section 4: Using the AXIS 700 AXIS 700 User’s Manual

Viewing Image Files

The AXIS 700 generates standard TIFF, PDF and JPEG images that are supported by most image-related applications. The AXIS 700 does not rely on any product-specific software installed on each client. Still, to be able to use the images created, you need tools for viewing and manipulating the images.

There are basically two different types of imaging tools:

• Tools optimized for image/picture editing

• Tools optimized for handling scanned documents

Tools for

Image/Picture Editing

Tools for image/picture editing normally support JPEG and singleimage uncompressed TIFF. They are optimized for handling color and gray-scale images. Such tools are delivered with the desktop scanners. Most tools will work, as long as JPEG and/or TIFF are supported.

Tools for Viewing,

OCR and Archiving

Tools for viewing, OCR and archiving generally support multipage compressed TIFF, but often also JPEG. Document viewers are optimized for presenting document data in readable format on a screen. Often suitable tools are bundled with desktop scanners. Today, tools that combine viewing and simple archiving are becoming more popular. These tools are delivered with Windows 95/98 and Windows NT.

Acrobat Reader The PDF format requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader. Acrobat Readers

for Windows (3.1, 95/98, NT), Macintosh and UNIX can be downloaded free of charge from the Adobe Systems Web site http://www.adobe.com. The tool is also available on the AXIS Online CD.

Page 68

AXIS 700 User’s Manual Section 4: Using the AXIS 700

Notes:

When using the “Text” profiles for scanning documents, make

sure that the viewing tool supports multipage CCITT G.4compressed TIFF; this format is the most common standard for imaging and archiving scanned documents. If your application does not support multipage documents, you can create a profile that generates single page documents, or scan each page as a separate job.

When scanning pictures, e.g. for Web publishing, use “Color

low” or “Color high” both of which create a JPEG file. The image files generated by these profiles are supported by basically all existing image editors and Web browsers.

Extensive testing of popular tools has been done to make sure that

AXIS 700 is compatible with them. However, this does not guarantee compatibility with all existing tools. If you find tools that the AXIS 700 does not support, we would like to know about it. You find information about how to contact us in the Preface.

For further information, including recommendations for specific

tools and sample images created by the AXIS 700, see the AXIS 700 Web site at http://www.axis.com/products/axis_700/

Section 4: Using the AXIS 700 AXIS 700 User’s Manual

Associating Image

Formats with

Applications

Applications are typically associated with a file format automatically during the installation procedure. If not, it is recommended that you manually associate your image applications with the supported image file formats, so that double-clicking on an image icon launches the appropriate application.

In Windows 95/98 and NT, follow these steps to associate an application with a specific file format:

1. In Windows Explorer, click the View menu, click Options, and then click the File Types tab.

2. To create a new file type, click New Type. To modify the settings for an existing file type, click the type, and then click Edit.

3. Specify a description for the file type and the file name extension associated with this type of file.

4. Click New to define an action for this file type.

5. In the Action field, type

Open. In the Application used to perform

action field, specify the path to the application you want to use for opening files that have this extension.

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is used to program directory-enabled applications. It is a directory service that allows people to locate other users, resources, services and information. LDAP allows resources and services to be selected with ease and accessed with location-independence.

Note:

Structure Example

A structure can for example look like this:

LDAP works differently depending on the organization and what the system looks like.

Organization

Country

Organization Unit

Engineering

AXIS

Marketing

Sales

Appendix B: LDAP AXIS 700 User’s Manual

Usual attribute types

These are the most typical attribute types (the LDAP server implementation should understand these attribute types):

Attribute Type Matches

objectClass Describes the kind of

object which the entry represents.

cn Contains the name of an

object. If the object is a person, it is typically

the person’s full name.

sn Contains the family name

of a person.

c Contains a two-letter

country code.

l Contains the name of a

locality, such as a city, county or other geographic region.

st Contains the full name of

a state or province.

street Contains the physical

address of the object to which the entry corresponds, such as an address for package delivery.

o Contains the name of an

organization.

ou Contains the name of an

organization unit.

title This attribute contains

the title, such as “Vice President”, of a person within an organization.

Page 80

AXIS 700 User’s Manual Appendix B: LDAP 79

The attribute types are used to create search filters. There are six types of basic search filters and the syntax of the filters is in the <attribute><operator><value> format. Complex search filters can easily be constructed by combining these basic search filters and other complex filters using the Boolean operations AND, OR and NOT. The six basic filter components are presented in the table belo:

with “s”, containing “mi” and ending with “th”.

lexicographically greater than or equal to Smith.

lexicographically less than or equal to Smith.

Page 81

Appendix B: LDAP AXIS 700 User’s Manual

Using the Boolean operators and a prefix notation, the basic filters can

be combined to form more complex ones. The ‘&’ character represents AND, the ‘|’ character represents OR and the ‘!’ character represents NOT. Here are some examples that explain how to do that:

Filter Type Format Example Matches

AND (&(<filter1>

)(<filter2>) ...)

OR (|(<filter1>

)(<filter2>) ...)

NOT (!(<filter>))(!(mail=*)) Entries

(&(sn=smith) (objectclass =person))

(|(sn=smith) (cn=*smith))

Entries with an object class of person and a surname exactly equal to Smith.

Entries with a surname exactly equal to Smith or a commonname ending in

“smith”.

without a mail attribute.

Note:

It is wise to create filters that sort out unwanted entries based on

their object class. For example, in an address book, you might only want to retrieve entries of the “people” class, with the common name “John”, leaving out computers called John. This could be achieved with the following filter: (&(objectclass=person)(cn=john))

Page 82

AXIS 700 User’s Manual Appendix B: LDAP 81

The way you construct your filter will have a large impact on how

fast the search is conducted. If you create a filter involving structures that the directory server can not evaluate efficiently, performance is likely to suffer. Apart from being familiar with the administrator and/or the inner workings of the server itself, only trial and error can tell you whether your filter is working efficiently or not.

Example searches

Here are some advanced search examples:

Searched Filter to use

All persons in Sweden. (&(objectclass=person)(c=S

E))

All entries at Axis independent of country, except the ones called Smith.

All persons at Axis Marketing in Sweden.

(&(o=axis)(!(sn=smith)))

(&(objectclass=person)(c=S E)(o=axis)(ou=marketing))

All persons with a common

name containing “bert” at Axis Marketing or Sales.

(&(objectclass=person)(cn= *bert*)(|(ou=marketing)(ou =sales)))
