Advanced Configuration Settings
in the Sharp DataFlow
The RightFax MFP Module includes a software component called
the External Document Connector which is designed to act as a
communication link between RightFax servers and several
supported types of document-based hardware and software
systems. All of the configuration settings for the RightFax MFP
Module Sharp Extension described in this chapter are made in the
External Document Connector. For a general overview of the
External Document Connector component of the RightFax MFP
Module, see
Appendix A , “Understanding the External Document
Connector” ).
Although the External Document Connector supports extensions
for several types of hardware- and software-based document
products, this guide and all of the configuration settings it
discusses are specific to integrating RightFax with Sharp MFPs
only.
Tip
The External Document Connector has many configuration settings,
only a few of which are required to enable the Sharp Extension. This
chapter describes only the required configuration settings for the most
commonly used features. Some advanced settings in the External
Document Connector which are not discussed in this guide are used
mainly for troubleshooting and support purposes and do not apply to
normal operation of the RightFax MFP Module. To read a description of
any option, including the advanced options not discussed here, click the
[?] icon displayed in the title bar of each dialog box, and then click the
option you want described.
Configure the Sharp MFP Module Settings
After the Sharp MFP module has been installed and configured in
the External Document Connector (described in
Chapter 1 ,
“Installing the RightFax MFP Module” ), Sharp documents should
begin being processed by the RightFax server. However, if you
need to change one or more configuration settings after
installation, you can access all of the Sharp MFP Module’s
configuration options throught the EDC Monitor.
