Installing Remote Administration
This section explains how to install the Remote Administration program, allowing a network administrator to monitor and configure the Zetafax server programs from a remote computer, rather than from the computer running the server programs.
Installing the program
The Remote Administration program should be installed on the computer on which you want to carry out the administration functions, such as the network administrator's own computer.
To install the Remote Administration program
•Put the Zetafax CD-ROM in to the drive.
If the CD does not automatically run a setup program:
•Click the Start button, and then click Run.
•Enter D:/RUNME, where D is the letter of your CD drive.
•Click the OK button.
When the CD setup program starts, follow the on-screen instructions to find and select the Remote Administration installation option. This will take you to the Equisys website from which you can download the Remote Administration installer. Follow the on-screen instructions to download the installer and run it on completion of the download.
If the computer does not already have Microsoft Management Console ('MMC') installed, the installation will offer to install it:
•Click Yes.
•Continue to follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Configuring the program
Before the Remote Administration program can be run, it must be configured.
•Click the Start button, point to Programs, and then click Zetafax Configuration.
•Wait for the configuration program to start.
•In the left pane, click Server settings.
•In the right pane, double-click Zetafax server remote administration.
•In the Zetafax server computer name box, enter the name of the computer that is running the Zetafax server.
•Select the remote administration functions you wish to enable.
Allow remote server monitoring displays any server messages to the remote administrator.
Allow remote server restart lets the remote administrator restart the server.
Allow remote device control lets the remote administrator configure devices.
Allow remote link control lets the administrator set up Least-cost Routing.
The allow remote link control option is available only if Least-cost Routing is enabled, as described in the Least-cost Routing topics. If you wish to change the queue status update frequency (the period of time in seconds between updates to the display of the queue status), adjust the Queue status update frequency control. Click OK .
Note: Changes made to this section only affect Zetafax users with administrator privileges, and who have installed the remote administration software. No other users can administer the Zetafax server remotely.
