Configuring DSS address books
DSS uses address books to store e-mail addresses that a user types at the device. If user
authentication is enabled on the device, addresses are stored in a user's personal DSS address
book. Otherwise, the addresses are stored in a public DSS address book. These DSS address books
are available to every digital sender or device that DSS supports. If the addresses that are contained
in these address books are no longer needed, they can be deleted by clicking Clear in the DSS
Address Books section of the Addressing tab. This lists all existing address books, so that one or
more of them can be selected.
Configuring LDAP directory replication
The e-mail addresses and fax numbers in the address book come from several sources:
●
The LDAP server on the network
●
Destinations that users have previously specified at the control panel
●
E-mail and fax address books that have been created by using the HP Address Book Manager
One of two methods can be used to synchronize the digital-sender address books with the LDAP
server.
Table 3-31 Address book synchronization on page 129 contains descriptions of these
methods.

Method Description Effect at the control panel
Using a replicated LDAP address book DSS takes a snapshot of the LDAP
server database and populates the
device address book with the
addresses that it finds. The
Configuration Utility can be used to
either initiate the task manually or
schedule it to run automatically at a
certain time.
As the user types the initial characters
in a name, the device attempts to
complete the name from the names in
the address book. The user types more
characters until a match is found. When
the user selects a name, the associated
e-mail address is automatically
selected.
Using an LDAP address book directly Firmware in the device initiates and
resolves name queries directly with the
LDAP server. The administrator does
not need to synchronize the address
book with the LDAP server, either
manually or according to a schedule.
The user types a partial name. The
device shows the list of resulting names
from the LDAP server. When the user
selects a name, the associated e-mail
address is automatically selected.
NOTE: If the device is configured to use an LDAP address book directly, it cannot gain access to
the replicated address book. If replication is used, only the display names and e-mail addresses are
replicated.
