Before starting, ensure that the following items are available and/or the tasks have been performed:
- Make sure that the machine is fully functioning on the network.
- TCP/IP and HTTP protocols must be enabled on the machine so that the machine web browser can be accessed. Make sure that the DNS settings are configured correctly.
- Obtain the address of a functional SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) mail server that accepts inbound mail traffic.
