1. About the Remote
Communication Gate
Outline of the System
There are 2 methods of communication between the equipment and the Com-
munication Server. They are the E-mail (SMTP) method and the Internet encryp-
tion communication (HTTPS) method. The following describes the outline of the
system for each method.
E-mail (SMTP) Method
In this method, collected information is sent to the Communication Server auto-
matically by E-mail. To use this method, an environment which enables to send
E-mail with the SMTP protocol is required.
With “E-mail (SMTP)” method, the equipment will search the image I/O devic-
es on the network. This is called “Auto Discovery. ” The searched information
will be sent to the Communication Server. You are able to receive our advice ac-
cording to the sent information. For example, for a better image I/O device lay-
out.
E-mail is encrypted by S/MIME for secure communication.
