How to setup Exchange Direct for Roaming Users

Castelle’s Exchange Direct is design for one person to work on each workstation. If a workstation is to be shared by a different user the transport services must be reconfigured. With user constantly moving around, this could create problems. This document outline how to you can set up Exchange Direct where you have roaming user.

If you choose to follow this procedure:

1. you must set up this procedure for each roaming user

2. you must set up this procedure for each user that share their computer with a roaming user.

3. Each workstation that is used by a roaming must have Exchange Direct installed on it in the manner listed below.

Example: If you have ten users using six workstations, you will follow this procedure ten time (once for each user), and you will have done an installation at lease one time on each of the six workstation.

Installation

1. On your file server create a FPXP directory.

2. In the FPXP directory create a directory for each of user listed above. It is preferable to use their names because you will need to identify them latter. Important: Users can not share their directory with another user!

These directories will be used to store and remove temporary files by Exchange Direct; thus, the amount of disk space it will use is insignificant. Each user will need to be granted enough rights so they (Exchange Direct) will be able to add, remove, and view the contents of their directories.

3. Under each user directory, two sub-directories have to be created. One to be called IN and the other called OUT. This can be done using two methods. You could manually create them or use the installation program to accomplish it. The second method is the most preferred.

4. You must now install and configure Exchange Direct on your first workstation for your first user. Being careful to place the IN and OUT directory in the correct location. After installation, verify that you can send and receive a fax in Exchange Direct.

5. In your Windows directory, you will find a file called FPXP32.INI. You will need to copy this file to a unique location for that user. A good location may be the directory you created in step 2.

6. Edit the user’s log in script to enter a statement that will copy the FPXP32.INI file into the WINDOWS directory when they log in.

7. Repeat steps 4 to 6 for each user.

Note: if you choose to edit a user settings after this type of installation, you must replace the master copy in the user’s directory with the new FPXP32.INI file.

Below is a copy of the FPXP32.INI file
