Important License Key Information
If your server has a DNS name, you MUST provide that name when you
request a FlowPort license key from Xerox. If it does not have a DNS
name, then you must provide the static IP address when you request a
FlowPort license key from Xerox.
NOTE: If your FlowPort license is based on the server’s DNS name, and
you change your DNS name after entering your license key, the FlowPort
license will become invalid. You must then obtain a new license key from
Xerox, based on the new DNS name. Similarly, if your FlowPort license is
based on a static IP address, and that IP address changes or you obtain a
DNS name, the license becomes invalid and you must obtain a new license.
If you obtain a DNS name or change a DNS name, previously printed
forms become invalid, and you must reprint them. Also, if you didn’t have
a DNS name, and you changed your static IP address, pre-printed forms
become invalid and have to be reprinted.
Finding the DNS Hostname
If you are specifying the DNS hostname, verify that it is the DNS hostname
rather than a Windows NT networking name. The server name that displays
in the Windows Network Neighborhood may be the Windows networking
name only.
To determine the DNS name of the server:
A Open a Command window
B At the command prompt, enter:
ipconfig
1–4 Xerox FlowPort Installation and Setup Guide
FlowPort System Requirements
C View the output of the ipconfig command, and make a note of the
server’s IP address.
D At the command prompt, enter:
nslookup <IP address>
If the server has a DNS name, you will receive a response with
the fully qualified DNS name and IP Address. You use the fully
qualified DNS name to access the FlowPort server in the web
browser. For example:
http://my_DNS_name.company.com
If the hostname is not registered, you will get a message that the
server cannot find the hostname. In this case, you may use the
FlowPort server’s IP address to access FlowPort in the web
browser. For example:
http://192.121.65.32
You must have network access to a Xerox Document Centre,
or Internet Fax machine
Do not run FTP or Email (such as Microsoft Exchange)
services on the same server as FlowPort
Do not run Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) on the
same server as FlowPort.
Network Environment
The following services can be provided anywhere on the network:
SMTP mail host; for example, a Microsoft Exchange server
may be used as the mail host
SMTP email functions
Domain Naming System (DNS)
Optional (if not printing to a Xerox Document Centre):
PostScript Level 2 (or higher) or PCL Level 3 (or higher)
networked printer (must be TCP/IP- and lpr-enabled)

Performance Considerations
Performance Considerations
FlowPort server performance can be affected by software running
on the same host system. This section provides information that
maximizes FlowPort server performance.
Server Ports
Web Browser
You can install FlowPort and repository software on the same
server; however, this will increase contention for the
operates its own Web server, therefore a dedicated
as port 80, is required. The repository HTTP port should be
configured with a different value, such as port 90.
To improve performance when using a web browser on the same
machine as the FlowPort server, you should set the browser’s
priority to Low:
Right-click the Windows taskbar and click Tas k Ma nag er.

Internet Fax Machine Setup (Optional)
Internet Fax Machine Setup (Optional)
FlowPort is a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) direct mail
system but can be configured to work with the POP3 (Post Office
Protocol) polling mail system. To use an Internet Fax machine as an
input and output device for FlowPort, you must make configuration
settings if using either an SMTP server or a POP3 polling server.
SMTP Server
The FlowPort SMTP option directly manages the Internet FAX
mailboxes through the hostname and user name mailboxes that are
configured for FlowPort.
To complete the FlowPort SMTP configuration, you need the
following information from your system administrator for the
SMTP server:
• DNS hostname
• DNS domain name
• Static IP address
In addition to the FlowPort configuration, you need to configure the
Internet Fax machine.
• Assign a speed dial number or use an alternate method to
specify the FlowPort server’s Internet Fax address. For
example:
FlowPort@FlowPortserver-hostname.domain
The FlowPortserver-hostname is a name assigned to the
FlowPort server that receives Internet faxes. By default, it is the
DNS name of the machine running the FlowPort server.
Depending on your mail server, your Information Systems
administrator may need to customize the server in order to have
incoming Internet faxes forwarded to the FlowPort server. See
your IS administrator.
1–30 Xerox FlowPort Installation and Setup Guide
Internet Fax Machine Setup (Optional)
Note: If incoming faxes are sent to an address other than
FlowPort@FlowPortserver-hostname.domain, you must enter this
address in the Internet Fax Receive Service configuration page in
order for outgoing Internet faxes to show this address.
For more information about addressing for incoming Internet
faxes, log in FlowPort as admin; click the Applications button;
under Configure Applications and Services, click the Internet Fax
Receive Service link; and click the help link.
• Set the “from” address to an Internet Fax mailbox that prints
incoming Internet Faxes on the Internet Fax machine.
• Set the resolution to the “Super Fine” setting for your Internet
Fax machine (Super Fine is 200 x 200 dots per inch or greater).
POP3 Polling Server
The FlowPort POP3 option continually polls the remote mailbox
server that manages user mailboxes. This option requires a Type
MX record listed in the DNS services table, which can be verified
by your Information Systems administrator.
To complete the FlowPort configuration for a POP3 mail server,
have your Information Systems administrator create a FlowPort
mail account and enter the following FlowPort information to the
mail server for each new user:
• Hostname of the POP3 mailbox server
• User name for the POP3 mailbox account
• User password for the mailbox

About the admin password
If at some point in the future you forget the admin password, you
can simply re-install FlowPort and set the new password at this
point. All data will be backed up and restored automatically.
Note: While this can possibly be a very time consuming process, it
is the process for recovering a lost password.

System Requirements
The following section provides system requirements that may affect
properly installing and configuring FlowPort.
System Requirement Resolution
About the Windows Server and
DNS Hostname
Static IP Addressing You should not use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to assign
To find the IP address and DNS hostname of the server, perform the
following steps:
A Open a Command window
B At the command prompt, enter:
ipconfig
C View the output of the ipconfig command, and make a note of the
server’s IP address.
D At the command prompt, enter:
nslookup <IP address>
If the server has a DNS name, you will receive a response with the DNS
name and IP Address. You can use the fully qualified hostname to
access the FlowPort server in the web browser. FOr example:
http://my_DNS_name.my_company.com
If the hostname is not registered, you will get a message that the server
cannot find the hostname. In this case, you may use the FlowPort
server’s IP address to access FlowPort in the web browser. For example:
http://192.121.65.32
an IP address to your FlowPort server if you used the IP address to generate
the license key. In this case, you need a static IP address.
Checking Ports In the Command command window, enter NETSTAT -a | more to check
which ports are in use by the server.

System Requirements
System Requirement Resolution
Machine Ports Before installing FlowPort, you should disable or remove any SMTP server
(or service) you are running on the machine. FlowPort requires that port 25
be available since it cannot run on the same machine as a separate mail
server.
You should also disable or remove any FTP server (or service) you are
running on the machine. FlowPort includes an FTP server which runs by
default on port 21.
If you receive an error regarding an HTTP port in use, you must change the
port that the conflicting service runs on, or re-install FlowPort to another port.
Scan-to-File Option on the
Document Centre
Check the Document Centre Touch Screen display. If there is a Scan Tab,
then Scan-to-File is enabled.

Installing FlowPort
Installing FlowPort
The following section describes solutions to some common
problems you may encounter when installing FlowPort.
FlowPort Installation Resolution
FlowPort Installation Order Installing FlowPort on a new system should be done in the following order:
1. Document Centre
2. DocuShare
3. FlowPort
FlowPort Fails to Run If the FlowPort Welcome/Login page in your browser does not display, the
FlowPort server is not running.
There is a possibility that a port problem is preventing the server to start.
Perform the following to check the server status:
1. Go to C:\Xerox\FlowPort\log\AdminN.log.
2. Inspect the log for lines that indicate a port conflict or another reason for
failure.
Example:
“System shutting down: UNABLE TO START HTTP SERVER ON PORT
80. Perhaps some other Web server is using port 80.”
3. Change the services to another port or re-install FlowPort to another
port.
FlowPort Fails to Run: HTTP Port
Conflict
A–4 Xerox FlowPort Installation and Setup Guide
The FlowPort server is not able to start—the log file indicates that it is unable
to start the HTTP server on port 80.
The most common reason is that Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS)
is already running on port 80 (or FlowPort is installed on the same server as
DocuShare). FlowPort cannot run on the same server as IIS.
Perform the following to check the server status:
1. Go to C:\Xerox\FlowPort\log\AdminN.log.
2. Inspect the log for lines that indicate a port conflict or another reason for
failure.
Example:
“System shutting down: UNABLE TO START HTTP SERVER ON PORT
80. Perhaps some other Web Server is using port 80.”
3. Change the services to another port or re-install FlowPort to another
port.

Installing FlowPort
FlowPort Fails to Run: SMTP
Service Conflict
FlowPort Fails to Run: NSA
Server Fails
The FlowPort server is not able to start—the log file displays a message that
TCP port 25 is being used. FlowPort requires that port 25 be available. It
cannot run on the same machine as a separate mail server as port conflicts
may result.
Perform the following to check the server status:
1. Go to C:\Xerox\FlowPort\log\AdminN.log.
2. Inspect the log for lines that indicate a port conflict or another reason for
failure.
Example:
“The Internet Fax service was unable to start up because some other SMTP
mail server is running on this machine and using TCP port 25.”
3. Disable or remove any SMTP server (or service) that is running on the
machine.
The FlowPort server is not able to start—the log file displays a message that
the NSA server has failed. FlowPort includes an FTP server which runs by
default on port 21. It cannot run on a machine where another FTP server is
running as port conflicts may result.
Perform the following to check the server status:
1. Go to C:\Xerox\FlowPort\log\AdminN.log.
2. Inspect the log for lines that indicate a port conflict or another reason for
failure.
Example:
“System shutting down: NSA Server failed.”
3. Disable or remove any FTP server (or service) that is running on the
machine

Configuring FlowPort
The following section describes solutions to some common
problems you may encounter when configuring FlowPort.
FlowPort Configuration Resolution
Mail Host Errors If you receive an error when specifying the name of your mail server, then
you need to use the fully qualified hostname of the server. The fully qualified
hostname includes the main server name, as well as the hostname. For
example:
mailserver-1.goodcompany.com
See your system administrator if you do not know the fully qualified
hostname of your mail server.
LPR-enabled Document Centre You need to enable LPR on the Document Centre. An IP address or
preferably, a DNS address is necessary to enable LPR printing.
To check if LPR is enabled, perform the following steps:
1. On the Document Centre, press the Machine Status button.
2. On the LCD Touch Screen, press the Reports and Counters tab.
3. Press Reports, then press Printer Configuration.
4. Press Start.
A configuration report is printed. Look under “Line Printer Daemon” to see if
the status is “Enabled”.
To enable LPR, see the Reference Guide, Setup Guide, or online System
Administration Manual for your specific Document Centre model.

Microsoft Office Document
Printing
If there is a problem printing Microsoft documents, it is possible that on
Windows NT 4.0 servers, long directory paths (those that contain spaces and
directory names longer than 8 characters) may conflict with other directories
on the same or a different drive.
Note: If Microsoft Office is already installed on the server on which
FlowPort is installed, uninstall and reinstall Office to the directory
path names using the following install procedure.
Install Microsoft Office on the FlowPort server machine, using the following
conventions:
• The directory path to which you install Office cannot contain any spaces.
• Each directory name in the path must contain eight characters or less.
For example, the following installation paths are invalid:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office
incorrect: contains spaces and directory names are too long
C:\Program Files\MicrosoftOffice\Office)
incorrect: directory names are too long
C:\Program\MS Stuff\Office
incorrect: contains a space in the directory name
These installation paths are valid:
C:\Program\MSOffice\Office
C:\MSOffice
C:\Office
Note: For more information, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base
article, Q185126 Bug: Error 429 “ActiveX Component Can’t Create
Object.” Article available on Microsoft Web site,

Locked Scanning Administrators: The Document Centre scan template may not work or may
stop working if a template pool was not properly set up prior to creating the
FlowPort scan template. This step must be performed in order to create scan
templates successfully.
For more information about setting a template pool, see the Document Centre
(CentreWare) online documentation or the “FlowPort Without CentreWare
Scanning Services” sections in the Document Centre setup documentation.

Proxy Host for FlowPort It is not necessary to specify a Proxy Host (on the System page of the
administrator’s web interface) unless you expect FlowPort users to access
DocuShare collections located outside your company intranet. If all
DocuShare collections are within your company firewall, do not specify a
Proxy Host.
Specifying a proxy can impact FlowPort performance and can hinder proper
authentication of PaperWare forms that are entered at a remote FlowPort
server.
