2 Pre-installation Checklist Contents Network configuration details 2-1 Best practices 2-1 Pre-installation checklist 2-2 Network configuration details 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. Best practices 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 Remote Configuration, that can be accessed (minimally read, write, change access) by any Scan Station login account or by the user group created for Scan Stations.
