Chapter 4: Client Installation

4.A new FF240-IP entry should appear on the “Devices” tab of the FF240-IP Fax Client Software screen.

The status of the newly registered FF240-IP unit may momentarily go from “Not logged in” to “Logging in” to “Connected.” A FF240-IP x20 unit will show Idle instead of connected.

If it goes to Login Failure, then one of two things is wrong:

a.The IP address or domain name is wrong. If that is the case, delete that entry (by right-clicking DELETE), and enter a new one;

-or -

b.The Username/Password combination may be wrong. Verify that the client Username/Password combination (accessible by right-clicking and selecting Properties on the FF240-IP listed in the Devices tab of the client software) matches the Username/Password combination assigned to the client-user by the FF240-IP Administrator.

Note: Username and Password are case-sensitive.

Disassociating the Client from a Specific FF240-IP Unit

In this procedure, you will un-do the procedure “Associating Client with a Specific FF240-IP Unit.” This situation might occur when changes are being made in the network faxing system. In any event, this procedure severs the tie between your PC and a specific FF240-IP unit so that you will no longer be connected to it for sending fax messages. (Faxes can be received in email form from the FF240-IP server, despite disassociating from the FF240-IP server, as long as the receiving party is defined in the Inbound Routing section of the FF240-IP unit.) In cases where the client is currently associated with more than one FF240-IP unit, you will need to know the IP address of the specific FF240-IP unit from which you want to disconnect.

1.Open the FF240-IP Client Software program and go to the Devices tab. Select the FF240-IP unit from which you want to disconnect (you can identify the FF240-IP unit by its IP address or domain name), Right-click on it and select delete.

2.Your FF240-IP Client Software will no longer be able to send faxes through this particular FF240-IP unit.
