FaxPress Plus, the FaxPress Plus client, is the primary administration and fax transmission utility used to manage FaxPress Plus server users and administer FaxPress Plus server units, as well as send and receive faxes.

The FaxPress Premier Web Client Interface also provides administration and transmission features, mirroring FaxPress Plus. See Using the Web Client Interface for more information.

Examples of a few FaxPress Plus functions include:

Sending and receiving faxes
Adding and deleting users
Configuring FaxPress Premier server and user properties
Starting and stopping FaxPress Premier services
Managing, job queues, phone books and cover pages

FaxPress Plus Folder Views

FaxPress Plus offers six different folder views. The FaxPress Plus folder views include Mailbox, Contacts, Personal Folders, Administration, Archive, All Folders.

When accessed initially by the Administrator, FaxPress Plus opens by default to the Mailbox view. To access the different folder views, use the row of icons located at the bottom of the FaxPress Plus window.

Expanding the FaxPress Plus window vertically will relocate the icons vertically.

The Administration folder and Unaddressed Faxes folder appear only for users logged in with Administrator privileges.

The FaxPress Premier Archive must first be configured to be operational. Refer to Archiving Faxes for more information.

The All Folders view, selected by clicking the All Folders icon, displays all the content of all of the folders in tree structure layout, and also includes the FaxPress Premier Neighborhood. The FaxPress Premier Neighborhood branch, when expanded, displays the FaxPress Premier and FaxPress servers on the immediate network segment, as well as FaxPress and FaxPress Premier servers on remote network segments that have been added to the FaxPress Premier Neighborhood. (See FaxPress Plus Introduction.)

If you are on a Novell network, all FaxPress Premier servers are displayed, rather than just those FaxPress Premier servers on the same TCP/IP segment.

The Administration view provides access to Premier features, services and administrative functions.

The Administration folder will not appear for users logged in without Administrator privileges.

Starting FaxPress Plus and Logging In to the FaxPress Plus Client

To start FaxPress Plus, the FaxPress Plus client, follow these steps:

1. Log in as Administrator, or as a user assigned Administrator rights, by going to Start>Programs>FaxPress Plus>FaxPress Plus on a workstation with the FaxPress Plus client for Administrators installed.
2. In the FaxPress Login window, enter Administrator in the User Name field. Leave the Password field blank. By default, the password for the Administrator user is blank.

Although the Administrator account is initially set with a blank default password, we recommend that you set a password or establish your personal mailbox with Administrator privileges. See Configuring the Administrator Account for information on resetting the password.

3. If this is the first time you’ve opened FaxPress Plus, you will be prompted to activate your FaxPress Premier software.

Enter your FaxPress Activation key code and click Enable, or select Obtain Key from Web to get your activation key. You can also choose to license the software later by going to the Software Activation Key folder in FaxPress Plus. See FaxPress Plus Introduction for details.

4. If there are three or fewer FaxPress Plus and FaxPress servers on your network, FaxPress Plus will be the first window to appear. If there are more than three FaxPress Premier and FaxPress servers on the network, or if the FaxPress is on a different network segment, the FaxPress Accounts window will appear, requiring you to select and add a FaxPress Premier server to log into.

For more info on logging into a FaxPress Premier located on a different network segment, see FaxPress Plus Introduction

Accessing Additional FaxPress Premier Servers

Once you’ve started FaxPress Plus and logged into one FaxPress Premier server, the other FaxPress Premier servers on the network are easily accessed two different ways.

1. From the All Folders view, you can log into additional FaxPress Premier servers on the network by expanding the FaxPress Neighborhood, and either double-clicking a Premier serial number/name, or right-clicking on the Premier serial number/name and select Login As....

2. From any of the folder views, you can use the FaxPress Premier server icon to select and log in to any of the FaxPress Premier servers on the network. Once logged in, you can use the server icon to move easily from server to server.
