FaxPress Administrator’s Guide
5—48
• Both FaxPress servers must be installed on the same network sharable hard
drive in the same context and/or with the same shareable name. The master
FaxPress user account must permit multiple simultaneous logins—as many as
there are slaves plus the total number of slave fax lines.
• Both FaxPress servers must be connected to the
same
full duplex network
segment (they must not be separated by routers or bridges).
• Both FaxPress servers must use the same Ethernet frametype. (Token Ring
units must use either source routing or non-source routing.)
• The installation workstation must have an x86 or Pentium processor.
NDS Requirement
• When installing on an NDS fileserver, install FaxPress under NDS, not in
Bindery mode.
NT Requirements
• Both FaxPress servers must be on the same segment as the NT file server.
• Both FaxPress servers must be installed in the same directory with the same
sharable name.
• Both FaxPress servers must be running FaxPress server software version 4.02
or later.
Performance Considerations
When a master FaxPress is configured to handle only incoming calls, the load
sharing slave FaxPresses can support eight simultaneously active outbound calls
with a mid-range Pentium-based file server. Although more lines can be added
with additional slave units, the combined capacity of the network, file server and
master FaxPress often limit the number of simultaneously active outbound calls to
less than the total number of slave lines. Increasing the number of slaves can
substantially add to the network segment traffic and master file server load.
