Network environment
ShareScan uses TCP ports for communication between the Client and the server application on
the PC running the Services Manager. Several ports must be available (not blocked) in order to
enable this communication (see page 243). Internal network traffic between the client and server
is minimal.
You can use multicast UDP to automatically discover and connect to other Services Managers for
remote administration.
ShareScan runs on domain-based networks and in workgroup environments. In a domain
environment, the system supports both static and dynamic IP addresses. The Domain Name
System (DNS) is used to resolve host names in a domain environment. In a workgroup
environment, all eCopy-enabled devices and Services Managers must have static IP addresses.
ShareScan does not support network attached storage (NAS) devices.
A ScanStation is connected to a device on the network. If the device is not on the same network
segment as the ScanStation, there can be performance issues.
