Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

DHCP is a protocol for dynamically assigning IP addresses to Internet Fax and client PCs. With DHCP, an
Internet Fax can automatically acquire a unique IP address each time it connects to a network making IP
address management an easier task for network administrators. When an Internet Fax logs on to the
network, the DHCP server selects an IP address from a master list and assigns it to the system.
If you wish to enable the following options on your Internet Fax, a static (reserved by a Network
Administrator) IP address and configurations must be used instead of the DHCP operation.

SMTP Authentication

The Internet's emergence as a worldwide digital infrastructure has dramatically encouraged a market for
communications-oriented appliances. However, the no object security technique has gained widespread
and dominant use over the Internet due to several reasons.
1. Internet mail is a multi-hop store and forward architecture, and use of channel-based security is
generally difficult.
2. No single technique is recommended by the Internet Fax standard.
To improve and robust the system, Authentication through encryption based techniques are provided as a
typical solution. The techniques may be associated with the transmission channel, such as by using Simple
Authentication and Security layer (SASL).
Some Internet Service Providers (ISP) take advantage of Internet mail service by providing an
Authentication feature.
Your Internet Fax provides the following three Authentication options.
1. SMTP Service Extension for Authentication (SMTP AUTH) -- while sending
2. Lightweight challenge-response mechanism POP (APOP) -- while receiving
3. POP before SMTP -- performs POP procedure prior to every SMTP transaction
