1.5.2.1 General
On the "General" tab, you enter the settings for the SwyxServer and define where SwyxFax Client should save the Address Book and the log file.
SwyxServer
In the "SwyxServer" field, you can define the server to be used for sending your fax documents. If this server is not available, you can enter an alternative server (known as a standby SwyxServer) within your network, which is to be used for sending the documents in this case. You can enter the name of the standby SwyxServer directly here, or activate automatic server detection. For further information see the SwyxWare documentation. For further information, please refer to the SwyxWare Administration. If the server is not available, a dialog prompting you to enter another SwyxServer will appear.
Using RemoteConnector.
You activate the use of the RemoteConnector in this checkbox.
The RemoteConnector enables a connection with SwyxServer, when you are outside your company network.
In case you want to use SwyxFax Client with the RemoteConnector, the connection must be configured first via SwyxIt!. For further information, please refer to the SwyxIt! documentation.
| To use the SwyxFax RemoteConnector functionality, make sure that SwyxIt! is started and connected with SwyxServer via RemoteConnector. |
Refresh Time
“Refresh Time” is used to define the intervals at which SwyxFax matches its fax folder display with the server data. A range of 30 to 600 seconds is available to you here.
You can, of course, initiate a refresh at any time by clicking on
or pressing the F5 function key.
Files
In the lower section of the tab you can define where your Address Book and the log file should be saved. You can enter the path with the file name directly here or use the browse function.
Address Book
In the default installation, an address book is saved under "C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Application Information\Swyx\SwyxFax Client\private.dta".
If another user logs on to this PC, an Address Book in the form of a DTA file does not yet exist. You can enter the path to another Address Book here.
If you would like to create a new Address Book, you must first create an empty text file and then save it as a DTA file. Then you can use
to define the file as the Address Book.
| Please note that you cannot use the new Address Book until you have restarted SwyxFax Client. |
Log
The log file is used to log fax process errors within SwyxFax Client. This information can help you or your system administrator if problems occur. If you leave this field blank, a log file will not be created.
