Installing the MS Windows Client Download
  1. Double-click on the downloaded file to launch the set up.
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions
  3. After installation is complete you will need to restart Windows (Windows 95 & 98 only).
  4. After restarting Windows run the configuration tool from Start/Programs/Fax2Send/Configure .
  5. In the "Fax2Send server Host Name" box Enter the network address of the Fax2Send server or host name if you have a DNS server (Example - 192.168.0.1 or starburst)
  6. Ask your Fax2Send administrator to add you to the Fax2Send user list (see below).
Adding a MS Windows Client User to the Fax2Send Server User List

All Fax2Send users need to be registered in the fax2Send user list on the server (apart from Enterprize Edition copies).

  1. Run Fax2Send on the PC: start/programs/fax2send/fax2send
  2. A message such as "some_user@some_host is not registered to use Fax2Send".
  3. On the Fax2Send server add the line some_user@some_host to the file /etc/fax2send/userlist. Note that the line should read exactly as the message did on the PC and is case sensitive.
  4. Restart Fax2Send on the server to load the new user list.

NOTE

To uninstall the Fax2Send PC Client it is necessary to use Regedit and delete the Beacon directories which are found in the \Software sections. Then delete the directory \Program Files\Beacon and finally the FAX2SEND printer from START\Printers

If you are running V2.1-6 DO NOT run the un-install program for Fax2Send. We always used the UnistallShield to provide a management system to safely un-install the Fax2Send PC Client. This has always worked well in the past but for reasons not understood after V2.1-5 this resulted in the deletion of important DLL's which may prevent a PC from restarting correctly. For this reason the un-install log file and icon have been removed from V2.1-7 and later versions.
