Installing the Administrator Client
This section describes how to install the FaxPress supervisor client, which includes FaxPress, the FaxPress client administration utility, as well as the FaxPress Administration Tools. (See Administrator Utilities.)
To install the FaxPress Client for supervisors, you must log on with NT system supervisor privileges. Also, the supervisor client must be installed on a workstation running the same network protocol as the the workstation running the FaxPress Server software.
To install the FaxPress supervisor software, follow these steps:
| 1. | Log onto your desktop with supervisor privileges. |
| 2. | Place the Castelle CD-ROM in the drive. The autorun program will be launched from your CD ROM drive. The Castelle FaxPress Setup screen will be displayed. |
| 3. | Click Install FaxPress to begin in the installation process. The FaxPress Project Setup will prepare the InstallShield® Wizard to guide you through the rest of the installation process. |
| 4. | The FaxPress 9.1 release includes the FaxPress 9.1.5 server and client software as an added option. When installing the client software, select the FaxPress software version compatible with your current server software. |
FaxPress 9.1 server/client architecture is optimized specifically for PCL-based cover pages. FaxPress 9.1 uses PCL as the default cover page format, although Word is also an option. FaxPress 9.1 server software does NOT support FaxPress 9.1.5, FaxPress 8.1.5 and FaxPress 8.0 Rev C client software, but is backwards compatible with all other earlier versions of FaxPress client software.
FaxPress 9.1.5 server/client architecture is optimized specifically for Word cover pages. If you intend to use Word for fax broadcasting, install the 9.1.5 server and client software. FaxPress 9.1.5 uses Word as the default cover page format, although using PCL-based cover pages is also supported. Please note that the FaxPress 9.1.5 server software ONLY supports FaxPress 9.1.5, FaxPress 8.1.5 and FaxPress 8.0 Rev C client software. If FaxPress 9.1.5 server software is used, all clients must be running FaxPress 9.1.5, FaxPress 8.1.5 or FaxPress 8.0 Rev C client software. FaxPress 9.1.5 server software is not backwards compatible with any other earlier versions of FaxPress client software.
