Web Client Interface
New to FaxPress Plus 5.0 is the ability to use the Archive feature through the Web Client Interface.
Available from any workstation with a web browser, the Web Client Interface, a secure, web-based server configuration, administration, and faxing utility, provides access to both administrative and end-user FaxPress Plus functions. All data transmission is fully encrypted.
Using the Web Client Interface
The Web Client Interface can be used as a convenient tool to perform FaxPress Plus functions, including sending and receiving faxes, displaying incoming and outgoing fax queues, archiving faxes and configuring the FaxPress server and user settings. To use the Web Interface to send and receive faxes, all applications associated with the file formats your users might want to fax must be installed on the FaxPress Enterprise.
The Fax Preview and Personal Folders functions are not accessible via the Web Client Interface. Use the FaxPress Plus Windows client to access these features.
Pop-up Blocker and the Web Client Interface
Internet Explorer 7 (with Windows XP SP2 and Vista) includes a Pop-up Blocker feature. When you install Windows XP SP2 or Vista, Internet Explorer’s Pop-up Blocker is automatically enabled with the Filter Level set to Medium.
With the Filter Level set to the default Medium, Pop-up Blocker will block the FaxPress Plus Software Activation Key pop-up window, preventing you from activating the FaxPress Plus software. With the Filter Level set to High, Pop-up Blocker will completely block access to the Web Interface.
There are four options for resolving the Pop-up Blocker/Web Interface issue. To make sure the the Pop-up Blocker will not interfere with the FaxPress Plus Web Interface, you can:
| ■ | Set the Pop-up Blocker Filter Level to Low. |
| ■ | Select the Pop-up Blocker’s Turn off Pop-up Blocker option. |
| ■ | Add the FaxPress Enterprise server IP address to the list of Allowed Sites in the Pop-up Blocker Settings. (Internet Explorer>Tools>Pop-up Blocker>Pop-up Blocker Settings) |
| ■ | Select the Pop-up Blocker’s Always allow pop-ups from this site option the first time you access the Web Interface. |
Standalone Pop-up Blocker applications used with Netscape and other versions of Internet Explorer may also cause issues with the Web Client Interface.
Accessing the Web Client Interface
Secure information exchange between the FaxPress server and your workstation is required. By default, the http protocol is disabled. Https must be used instead. A secure connection is verified by the lock icon in the status bar of the browser.
To access the Web Client Interface, follow these steps:
| 1. | From any workstation on your LAN, or a non-local workstation with Internet access, open a web browser. |
| 2. | In your web browser’s Address field, enter https:// and your FaxPress server’s IP address. The ’s’ in https indicates that the information exchanged between the FaxPress server and your workstation is secure. The FaxPress server will reject a non-secure connection, so the ’s’ in https must be included. |
| 3. | Click OK to the Security Alert message. |
| 4. | Click Yes to the next Security Alert message. |
| 5. | In the User field, enter Administrator. If this is the first time you’ve logged into the Administrator account, or if you have not yet set a password, leave the Password field blank and click Login. The default password for the Administrator account is blank. |
| 6. | The Web Client Interface opens to the Mailbox view, mirroring the FaxPress Plus Windows client. For information on the various features of the Web Client Interface, refer to the appropriate section of the User Guide; the features in the Web Client Interface function the same way as the FaxPress Plus Windows client. . |
| 7. | For access to administrative functions and server features, select the Administration view. For information on using the different features and options available from the Web Client Interface, refer to the chapters on using FaxPress Plus and configuring FaxPress Plus server and user settings. These chapters include FaxPress Plus: An Introduction, Configuring the FaxPress Enterprise Redundant , Setting the FaxPress Enterprise & Enterprise Redundant Server Properties, andCreating FaxPress Enterprise User and Group Accounts. |
