6 - Next steps
After finishing the basic installation and configuration tasks, you can start using and customising ShareScan via the
Administration Console.
The ShareScan 5.0 user interface is organized differently from the user interface in previous versions of the product. In
the new Administration Console, all system functions are available on the Ribbon and there are separate tabs for
configuring services, connectors, and devices.
System functions are available on the Home tab and the Advanced tab. The Home tab contains the most frequently
used functions, such as managing the ShareScan Manager; the Advanced tab contains less frequently used functions
and several new functions, such as managing the ShareScan database.
When you open the Administration Console, the Welcome page lists the main functions in the recommended order for
performing each function:
n Configure one or more installed services, so that they will be available when you configure connectors and
devices. There are three types of services: services that you apply to a connector, services that you apply to
devices or device groups, and services that you apply to connectors and devices.
n Configure one or more profiles for the installed connectors that will be used on the scanning devices. You can
create multiple profiles for each connector and you can activate each connector profile on multiple devices.
n Register ShareScan online.
When you click the Services, Connectors, or Devices links, a pane lists the items that you can configure. After you
select an item, such as Session Logon, ShareScan opens one or more panes where you specify the appropriate
settings.
6.1- Best practices
Ensure that the %temp% environment variable is set.
Ensure that all critical automatic updates are applied to target systems and that automatic updates are turned off for the
time of installation.
Do not wait too long to click the Install button; otherwise, the increased storage usage in the temp folder can trigger a
cleanup process that causes installation failure.
After installation you may check to see whether the following services are running:
n Apache Tomcat 5.5
n Nuance Imaging Framework Trace Service
