CompuFax

Version 4.3

Quick Installation Instructions

(For use on VAX or Alpha AXP Systems)

CompuFax contains a full fax server that runs on the primary computer node that has a fax modem device connected.

CompuFax also contains a remote fax server that you can install on a remote node and send fax requests to the primary

node. This procedure will allow installation of a Primary Fax Server. To install a Remote Fax Server system, please

refer to Chapter 1, "CompuFax Installation."

IMPORTANT **** Primary Server and Remote Server never run on the same node ****

1. Log into the SYSTEM account and at the $ prompt type the following: !Use FAX for VAX system

!Use FAX_AXP for Alpha system

@SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL FAX

Location-of-distribution

…where "location-of-distribution" is either the name of the tape drive where the tape is mounted or the path name

to the saveset on the CD. The path name to the saveset on the CD consists of the disk name for the CD Drive followed

by [VAX ] or [Alpha] depending on which system it is being installed on. For example:

@SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL FAX DKA400:[VAX]

2. Answer these VMSINSTAL questions as shown below:

Is this node a FAX Full Device Server node? (Y/N) [Y]: Yes

Remote Server on same disk? (Y/N) [N]: No

* Do you want to purge files replaced by this installation [YES]? No

Will you be using a Multi-Tech fax modem? (Y/N) [Y]: Yes (N = no fax device)

Note: Even if you are not using a Multi-Tech modem, still select "YES".

If you are connecting a fax modem device, perform the Hardware Installation steps on the reverse side of this

sheet.

For the Primary Fax Server node with a fax modem, configure the modem next. Skip this step if you are only

evaluating the software.

$ EDIT SYS$SYSDEVICE:[FAX]FAX.OPTIONS !Modify the lines denoted by " ** " for site-specifications

Start the CompuFax Primary Fax Server process:

$ @SYS$SYSDEVICE:[FAX]FAX_SYSTARTUP

5. Invoke the command below to create the symbol FAX as a command:

$ @FAX$DIR:FAX_SYLOGIN

Note: Enter the commands in Steps 4 and 5 into your system startup file and your system-wide login file, respectively.

Allow a few minutes for CompuFax to establish communications with the fax modem and bring the device on-line.

Test the Primary Fax Server:

$ FAX SHOW DEVICE

7. Verify operation by sending a fax:

$ FAX SEND filename/NUMBER=your-fax-number/AFTER=TOMORROW

$ FAX SHOW QUEUE

8. Remove the entry in the fax queue:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ... 132 133
