Adding and removing processors

You can run a maximum of 16 of each type of processor. Processors can be run on the same computer that runs the External Document Connector (the RightFax server) or on remote computers to take advantage of the additional processor power.

Note Although it is possible to install and configure more than 16 of each type of processor, only 16 of each will actually function at any given time.

To add new instances of a processor

1.Run the EDC Monitor and select Tools > Services to open the Services dialog box.

2.If you want to add the service to a remote computer that is not listed, click Add Computer and specify the name of the remote computer.

3.Select the computer to which you want to add the service and click Add Service. This opens the Add a Service dialog box.

Figure 3.19 The Add a Service Dialog Box

4.Under Services, select the type of service to add.

5.Under Login Account, enter the user name and password of the user account that the service will use to start up. This user account should have full administrative privileges to the computer you selected in step 3.

6.Click OK.

Note If you are adding processors to a remote computer and you receive the message “EDC Manager has not been properly configured to allow services to be installed,” or if the services fail to start, see the following section on adding processes to a remote computer.

If you are adding processors to a remote computer

To run External Document Connector processors, a remote computer must know how to locate certain folders on the RightFax server used by the processors. You must enter the share names of these folders in the RightFax External Document Connector Manager Configuration before you will be able to run the processor on remote computers.
