Setting up Clients on a Network
Unimessage Pro LAN can be installed on up to 5 clients (1 administrator and 4 clients). The
MFP connected to the fax server PC is shared among these 5 users. When you do this, do not install
the client copies from the CD-ROM—only one scheduler can run on a network at a time. Follow this
procedure:
Note: If you are using Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000, make sure you have administrator
access rights.
1. If the drive where Unimessage Pro is installed is not mapped on the client:
a. Use Network Neighborhood to browse to the folder where Unimessage Pro is installed and
shared.
b. Right click on the Unimessage Pro folder and select
Map network drive
from the menu.
c. Select a suitable drive letter.
2. Select the Client folder on the mapped drive and run SETUP.EXE.
3. Confirm the drive where Unimessage Pro is installed; the suggested drive is usually correct.
After registering the location of its components and installing any required updates, restart
Windows. Unimessage Pro continues installation. Follow the instructions carefully. For details on
all installation options, see the User’s Guide, which you can read by clicking
View Unimessage
Pro User’s Guide
from the Setup menu.
Note: When you start Unimessage Pro on a client, you may see a dialog saying “Unimessage
Pro is having difficulty communicating with the scheduler over the network...Awaiting
response from Scheduler.” Click
Abort
, and Unimessage Pro will start normally.

additional steps to set up the fax server PC (connected to the MFP) and the client(s) for network
