  • Operating an appliance scanner system
    Patent number: 11057531
    Abstract: A method and system for operating an appliance scanner system. A device can maintain at least two isolated communication channels, one to connect to a configuration service and others for connecting to document processing and management services. This can enable the configuration service to reside outside of a secure network. Firewalls and policies can prevent content generated at the scanner from exiting the secure network and reaching the configuration service. To set up the scanner, it can be initiated and connect to the configuration service via a operations communication channel. The configuration service can then instruct the scanner how to connect to various document services through one or more generated content communication channels. Furthermore, document services can communicate validation information back to the scanner.
