You can store an e-mail address obtained by searching the directory listings on the network using LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) servers.
You can also register e-mail addresses you obtain as I-fax addresses.
NOTE |
You may have to set up the LDAP servers beforehand, depending on the network environment. For more information, see "Registering an LDAP Server." |
IMPORTANT |
You cannot search for a destination via an LDAP server if the time setting of the server and the time setting of the machine are more than five minutes apart. If you cannot send even when the user name and password are correct, check the time settings on the server and the machine. The number of search results displayed will not exceed the maximum limit set for <Max Addresses to Search> in [Register LDAP Server] in [Set Destination] (Settings/Registration). If the desired destination is not displayed, either increase the <Max Addresses to Search>, or change the search criteria. (See "Registering an LDAP Server.") |
NOTE |
If you perform a new destination search when a search result is already displayed on the destination list screen, the displayed search result is cleared. If the search result for specified criteria is displayed, the search result is cleared and search for all criteria is processed when you press [All]. If you set [Auto Search When Using LDAP Server] to 'Off', nothing appears on the destination list screen until you perform a search. If the search result from [Search by Conditions] is displayed on the search list screen, you cannot additionally press [Search by Name] to narrow the search by name. If a destination is registered with an e-mail address and a fax number, you can search for the e-mail address by entering the fax number as the search criterion, and vice versa. |
[Name]: | Search by name. |
[E-Mail]: | Search by e-mail address. |
[Fax]: | Search by fax number. |
[Organization]: | Search by organization name. |
[Org. Unit]: | Search by organizational unit (e.g., departments in an organization). |
NOTE |
The organization/organization unit can be used as search categories only if the information has been registered on the LDAP Server. Detailed Search by organization/organization unit may not be performed, depending on whether the attribute types have been registered on the LDAP server, and depending on the type of application on the server. You can also add additional user-defined search attributes. (See "Registering/Editing LDAP Search Attributes.") |
[Contains]: | The result must contain the entered name, e-mail address, fax number, organization, or organizational unit. |
[Does Not Contain]: | The result must not contain the entered name, e-mail address, fax number, organization, or organizational unit. |
[Equals]: | The result must be exactly the same as the entered name, e-mail address, fax number, organization, or organizational unit. |
[Differs from]: | The result must be different from the entered name, e-mail address, fax number, organization, or organizational unit. |
[Begins with]: | The result must begin with the same first few letters that you entered for the name, e-mail address, fax number, organization, or organizational unit. |
[Ends with]: | The result must end with the same last few letters that you entered for the name, e-mail address, fax number, organization, or organizational unit. |
[or]: | The machine searches and returns a result that matches any of the specified search criteria. |
[and]: | The machine searches and returns a result that matches all of the specified search criteria. |
NOTE |
You can specify up to four different search criteria at a time. If you specify three or more search criteria, you cannot use both [or] and [and] together. |
NOTE |
If you press [Start Searching] without specifying any search criteria, all of the addresses stored on the LDAP server are displayed. |
NOTE |
To cancel a selected destination, select the destination again. |
NOTE |
The maximum number of destinations that can be selected at one time is 256. |
NOTE |
For more information on LDAP servers, see "LDAP Server Settings." The information that can be obtained through the LDAP server varies, depending on the installed or activated options, as follows: If the Remote Fax Kit is not activated: names and e-mail addresses If the Remote Fax Kit is activated: names, e-mail addresses, and fax numbers |
