Important! The FaxPress Local Administrator Account
The default user name for the FaxPress Windows operating system is Administrator. The
default password is faxpress, all lower case. If you change this default password, you
must also change the password of the local Administrator account used by the FaxPress
Conversion Service to match.
The Captaris FaxPress Conversion Service uses the FaxPress’s local Administrator account
to convert files for fax transmission. Changing the default password for the FaxPress’s
Windows user account automatically stops the Conversion Service. Stopping the
Conversion Service also stops all outgoing fax transmissions, whether or not the
transmissions contain attached files.
To change the password of the Conversion Service’s local Administrator account, follow
these steps:
1. Open the Windows Services list.
2. Right-click on the Captaris FaxPress Conversion Service and select
Properties. (
Start>Settings>Control Panel>Administrative
Tools>Services
)
3. With the Logon tab selected, enter the new password for the Conversion Service’s
local Administrator account. This password must match the password assigned to
the default Administrator user for the FaxPress Windows operating system.
4. Save the settings and restart the Conversion Service.
This same procedure should be used to restore service if fax transmission has been
interrupted due to this Administrator account password issue.
Note: For more information on the FaxPress Conversion Service, see About
the FaxPress File Conversion Service.
Network Security/Installing Antivirus Software
The FaxPress server requires the same kind of standard antivirus protection and security
measures used with the other servers on your network. Captaris strongly recommends
that all data files be scanned for possible viruses before being sent to FaxPress for file
conversion and fax transmission.
