Appendix A

Understanding the External Document Connector

33

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.
