Overview of the External Document Connector

The External Document Connector (EDC) is a module for the RightFax server that monitors the MFP repository folder for documents to process and transmit. The External Document Connector processes documents using a set of steps called a “DataFlow.” The DataFlow is comprised of several distinct processes called “FlowPoints.” Each FlowPoint monitors a specific folder for fax documents, acts on the documents, and then passes them on to the next FlowPoint.

Using the EDC Monitor

The External Document Connector includes a management tool called the External Document Connector Monitor (EDC Monitor). Use the EDC Monitor to monitor the status of the connectors and processors under the control of the EDC, add and delete processor services, and configure the EDC components.

Caution The EDC Monitor application does not display errors that occur with individual processors. It will only report specific job files that have encountered errors. To check for errors in the External Document Connector’s processors, you must review the Event Log.

To run the EDC Monitor program, select Start > Programs > RightFax EDC Monitor. The EDC Monitor program window opens.
