Destinations
Documents are typically distributed using the AXIS 7100 control
panel or an attached PC compatible keyboard (if connected by
your administrator), to selected e-mail, fax, file or printer
destinations.
Users can add temporary e-mail destinations using the Web
interface or keyboard if the destination you wish to send your
document to does not exist in the destination list.
Contact your Administrator if you wish to add a new file or
printer destination, or add a permanent e-mail address.
If there is a keyboard connected to the AXIS 7100, and if the
option to
Specify a file name for a file destination
(
admin|Edit|User Options
) is enabled by the administrator, the
user can also enter a new file name for the file destination or e-
mail destination.
Send-to-E-mail
This allows document images to be distributed to any e-mail
address defined in the destination list.
E-mail transfer uses the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
whereby the document image is sent as a MIME-encoded e-mail
attachment, or stored on a file server as an accessible hyperlink
within an e-mail notification. Double-clicking the hyperlink or
an e-mail attachment that is associated with an image viewer
automatically starts the appropriate application.
Send-to-File
This means that the document image is sent to and then stored
on a networked storage device. This could be on a server, a
client with a shared drive, a mainframe, or any chosen network
device available to your filing system. Image files are distributed
and archived using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) that
facilitates the storage of files over the Internet.
Typically a file is sent to a specific software management
application, for example groupware, document management and
workflow systems.
