Advanced Box/Network Settings
There are two types of storage locations in the Advanced Box; Shared Space and Personal Space. To use these storage locations, it is necessary to specify their settings. The administrator has to specify the various settings such as the user authentication management, allowing use of Personal Space, and Open to Public settings, according to your needs.
Advanced Box User Authentication Management Settings
The following settings are required to perform authentication management for users of the Advanced Box.
Register the users to perform authentication management for in "User Access Control for Advanced Box" (login service). (See "User Access Control for Advanced Box.")
Set [Authentication Management] to 'On' in [Advanced Box Settings] in [Function Settings] (Settings/Registration). (See "Setting the Advanced Box to Be Opened Externally as a WebDAV/SMB Server.")
Allowing Users to Use the Personal Space
In addition to the above "Advanced Box User Authentication Management Settings," the following setting is required to allow users to use the Personal Space.
Set [Allow to Create Personal Space] to 'On' in [Function Settings] (Settings/Registration). (See "Allowing to Create Personal Spaces.")
Opening the Advanced Box Using SMB or WebDAV
The settings below are required to open the Advanced Box to the public using SMB or WebDAV. This enables you to open the Advanced Box of the machine to be used as network place, and enables the Advanced Box to be used from computers.
For SMB:
Set [Open to Public] to 'By SMB' in [Function Settings] (Settings/Registration). (See "Setting the Advanced Box to Be Opened Externally as a WebDAV/SMB Server.")
Set [Use SMB Server] to 'On' in [Preferences] (Settings/Registration). (See "SMB and WINS Settings.")
If the Advanced Box is open to the public by setting [Authentication Management] to 'On' in [Advanced Box Settings] in [Function Settings] (Settings/Registration), set the authentication type by setting [Use SMB Authentication] to 'On' in [SMB Auth. Settings] in [Preferences] (Settings/Registration). (See "SMB and WINS Settings.")
For information on the SMB server settings, see "SMB and WINS Settings."
To allow external users to write in the Advanced Box, set [Prohibit Writing from External] to 'Off' in [Function Settings] (Settings/Registration). (See "Prohibiting Writing from External Users.")
For WebDAV:
Set [Open to Public] to 'By WebDAV' in [Function Settings] (Settings/Registration). (See "Setting the Advanced Box to Be Opened Externally as a WebDAV/SMB Server.")
Set [Use WebDAV Server] to 'On' in [Preferences] (Settings/Registration). (See "Settings Common to TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6.")
If the Advanced Box is open to the public by setting [Authentication Management] to 'On' in [Advanced Box Settings] in [Function Settings] (Settings/Registration), set the authentication type (Basic) in [WebDAV Server Settings] in [Advanced Box Settings] in [Function Settings] (Settings/Registration). (See "Setting the Advanced Box to Be Opened Externally as a WebDAV/SMB Server.")
To allow external users to write in the Advanced Box, set [Prohibit Writing from External] to 'Off' in [Function Settings] (Settings/Registration). (See "Prohibiting Writing from External Users.")
NOTE
If the ColorPASS or the imagePASS is attached, you cannot open the Advanced Box to the public using SMB. To open the Advanced Box to the public, set WebDAV.
If the machine shuts down when a client computer is writing a file to the Advanced Box, an incomplete file is generated inside the Advanced Box. In this case, perform the operation again after restarting the machine.
Using the Advanced Box of Another Machine
Configure the network as follows to enable this machine to use the Advanced Box (network storage) of another imageRUNNER ADVANCE series machine. The Advanced Box must be opened externally using SMB or WebDAV.
Settings on this machine:
Register the Advanced Box of another imageRUNNER ADVANCE series machine that is opened externally in [Network Place Settings] in [Function Settings] (Settings/Registration). (See "Setting/Managing the Advanced Box of an External Reference (Network Place).")
Set the same communication protocol used to open the Advanced Box of another imageRUNNER ADVANCE series machine externally in [Protocol for External Reference] in [Function Settings] (Settings/Registration). (See "Setting the Protocol for External Reference.")
If the ColorPASS or the imagePASS is attached to the machine for external reference, set WebDAV as the protocol.
The URLs to register are as follows:
If the SSL is invalid:
http://IP address:18080/share
If the SSL is valid:
https://IP address:18443/share
Settings on the other imageRUNNER ADVANCE series machine:
If the external Advanced Box is open with authentication management set to 'On', register the users in "User Access Control for Advanced Box." (See "Registering User Information.")
Operating Systems Compatible as the Client of the SMB or WebDAV Server:
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7
