Static Control F/M (FLF980)

Fax Administrators can use this program to enter and maintain directory locations that FACTS uses to communicate with the VSI-FAX software. Normally, this program is setup during installation and should not require modifications during normal processing.

For more information how to use maintenances, refer to the following topics:

How to use file maintenance programs

 

Ü Since this information is critical to FaxLink’s operation, administrators should password protect this program. (System Management->Security System->Password and Security Code F/M.)

Complete the following to enter or modify information:

1. VSI-FAX Bin

Enter the path to the VSI-FAX Bin directory on the server.

2. Auto Serial Dir

Enter the path to the VSI-FAX Auto Serial Directory on the server. FACTS stores documents in this directory and VSI-FAX picks them up when it’s ready to send.

3. Fax Prep Command

This is the path to the Unform rule file you want to use to format Faxes. This field is optional. If you do not want Unform to format Faxes or you do not use Unform, you can skip this entry.

4. Client/Server

Indicate whether you are running Unform Client Server.

5. Use Suffix

Enter the letter for the type of suffix code to use: N—Do not use a suffix, D—Use a suffix on long distance calls only, L— Use a suffix on local calls only, or B—Use a suffix for both local and long distance call. The dialing suffix is used if an accounting code is required by the phone system for making local or long distance calls. For example if the phone system requires that a billing code be used after dialing any phone number, enter B in this field.

6. Fax Alias

Enter the name of the link file you crated for VSI-FAX. This entry must be three characters or less. For instructions on creating link files, see Chapter 2 or Chapter 4 of the Installation Manual and refer to the section called "Printers, Drivers and Link Files".

7. Graphic Files

Enter the directory path where graphics files are stored for the Fax cover page.

8. Text Files

Enter the directory path to the text files are stored for the Fax cover page. If the path does not exist, the system will prompt you to create it.

9Temp Files

Enter the directory where temporary files used and created by FaxLink should be stored. This directory essentially serves as FaxLink’s scratch pad.

Ü Infor recommends that System Administrators create a script that the UNIX CRON executes to periodically delete temporary files from this directory.
