FaxPress Server Setup
Before setting up your FaxPress server, you need to check your system to make sure it meets the Operating Sys-
tem Requirements. Then you can read through the required and optional setup procedures. The System Require-
ments and both sets of procedures are outlined in the following sections. For more detailed information on setting
up the FaxPress 9.x server and Email Gateways, as well as configuring FaxPress users, see the
FaxPress Admin-
istrator Guide, the FaxPress Email Gateways Guide and the FaxPress User Guide.
Operating System Requirements
Run the Castelle FaxPress server software installation from:
• a Windows NT/2000/2003/XP workstation
If you are installing the FaxPress server software from a remote workstation, make sure it is mapped to the server
on which you are installing the FaxPress server software. Setup will detect the operating system used; the operat
-
ing system used will determine your installation options.
Install the server software onto a workstation or file server running:
• Windows NT/2000/2003/XP or 2000/XP Professional editions
• Novell Netware NDS, Netware 5 or 6 (Pure IP), or Netware Bindery
• Linux (Samba enabled) – Linux installation documentation is available on the Castelle web site
Required Setup Procedures
Setting up the FaxPress server for basic operation requires you to:
1. Connect the FaxPress server to your Local Area Network. FaxPress Ethernet servers use an RJ-45 connector
for 100BASE-T topology.
Note: If you are installing the FaxPress server in an NT environment, you must assign the FaxPress a
unique IP address. To configure the FaxPress with an IP address, place the unit on the same
network segment as the configuring workstation. The installation program allows you to assign the
FaxPress server an IP address. To move the server to a different segment after installation is
complete, refer to
Administrator Utilities, in the FaxPress Administrator Guide (online or
printed) for instructions on changing the FaxPress’ IP address.
2. If you are connecting a printer to the FaxPress server, connect the printer cable to the appropriate printer port.
3. Power on the FaxPress. For all FaxPress servers other than the SBE and 2500, simply connect the power cord
to the FaxPress and plug it into a grounded outlet. If your FaxPress unit is an SBE or 2500, it has an external
power supply (brick); connect the power supply to the FaxPress server, then plug the power supply cord into
a grounded outlet. If your server has a power switch, turn it
ON.
