System requirements
SwyxFax is a component of SwyxServer. You will find the current matching client version (SwyxIt!) on the SwyxWare DVD.
| Please always install the appropriate matching (identical) server and client versions. |
SwyxFax Server as a separated component
SwyxFax Server does NOT require any special hardware equipment for operation.
The software can run on all standard computers which can run Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 or Windows 7 Professional as well. The hardware requirements correspond essentially to those recommended by Microsoft for the use of these operating systems.
Detailed information regarding the computer equipment can be found in the Knowledgebase on the Swyx Homepage.
SwyxFax Client
SwyxFax Client is a component of the telephony client SwyxIt!. The computer must accordingly satisfy the same requirements as for SwyxIt!.Weitere Informationen entnehmen Sie der SwyxIt!-Dokumentation.
SwyxFax in a standby scenario
From Version 7.0 on, SwyxFax can also be installed in a standby scenario. There are various possibilities:
SwyxFax installed on master and standby server
Then in the event of a failure of the master system, all tasks will be taken over by the standby server.
SwyxFax installed only on the master server
In this case, if the master system fails, there is temporarily no available fax functionality.
A SwyxFax installation as a service on a separate computer
In this case the fax functionality is available so long as this computer is running.
Two SwyxFax installations as separate services on separate computers
The SwyxFax standby system can thus form the fallback for the SwyxFax master system.
| SwyxFax cannot be installed only on the standby system: this will not work. |
