Because the Scan Station is a network device, a basic knowledge of
networking principles and terminology is helpful. You should be familiar
with the concept of creating user accounts (on domains), sharing
folders, setting access privileges, the Universal Naming Convention
(UNC), using IP addresses, fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) and
creating user groups.
NOTE: Some of the concepts covered in this section assume
knowledge of Microsoft NT Domains and permissions. Refer to
your documentation for Microsoft Windows Server 2003, 2008
or 2012 for more information.
Scan Station user groups — for network domain environments, you
should create a user group for all Scan Stations. This group will be used
to hold account names that are assigned to each Scan Station.
Minimally, there should be one account name that is assigned to each
Scan Station. Optimally, each Scan Station should be assigned its own
unique username and password and these accounts should be
contained within a group that is reserved specifically for Scan Stations.
These account names will be used when configuring the Scan Station's
network settings and entered into the Username, Password, and
Network Domain fields.
NOTE: The Scan Station groups and login names must be given
appropriate privileges to access the network resources that the
user will see as Destination selections at the Scan Station.
Workgroup environments — for network environments that use the
Microsoft "Workgroup" configuration, you may be required to create an
account name and password to be assigned to Scan Stations. These
account names will be used when configuring the Scan Station's
network settings and entered into the Username and Password fields.
The Network Domain field should be left blank in Workgroup
environments.
Network folders — it is recommended that you create network folders,
for either Destination or Automatic Configuration Schedule updates,
that can be accessed (minimally read, write, change access) by any
Scan Station login account or by the user group created for Scan
Stations.
