How it fits into the company network

File server independence

• The AXIS Network Document Server is connected as a node in an Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network, enabling scanner devices to be accessed via standard protocols such as SMTP for sending e-mails.
• The AXIS Network Document Server operates independently of other equipment. No additional software is needed on any client or file server. All that's needed is included in the unit.

Web-based management

• The built-in Web interface provides cross-platform management from a standard Web browser. It includes menu-based capabilities for defining network protocols, user privileges, destinations etc.
• The administration pages are password-protected and available only to the administrator.
• With several Axis ThinServer products on your network, the AXIS ThinWizard™ management tool makes administration, configuration and upgrading very efficient.

Bandwidth usage

• Thanks to the image compression technology used by the network document server, distribution of the digitized documents will have little impact on the network.

Upgrades

• AXIS Network Document Servers support a wide range of scanner devices. So if the attached scanner doesn't fulfill all your needs, it can be replaced with a more advanced scanner.
• The network document server's Flash memory allows central and remote firmware updates over the network using FTP over TCP/IP. The latest firmware can be downloaded from the Axis Web site.
