Installing Feature Pack 1 on RightFax Servers and Client Computers

This feature pack should be installed on all version 9.0 RightFax servers, remote BoardServer computers, IIS servers, Exchange Connector servers, Gateway servers, and client computers on your network. The Feature Pack 1 installation will determine the components that have been installed on each of these computers and upgrade them accordingly. This Feature Pack installation will only upgrade existing installations of the RightFax 9.0 server and client applications. It cannot be used for new installations of any server or client applications. To update your software, Microsoft Windows Installer patches your existing RightFax installation by replacing existing files with updated files and installing new files.

Important: Before running this upgrade, if you have one or more Brooktrout TR1034 fax boards installed, you must confirm that the file bos_btcall.cfg in the \RightFax\RFBoard folder is not set to read-only. If it is, remove the read-only attribute from this file prior to installing the service pack. Running the service pack installation with this file set to read-only will fail to properly update the file and the fax boards will not operate.

Follow these steps on each of your organization's 9.0 RightFax servers, remote BoardServer computers, IIS servers, Gateway servers, and client computers.

  1. Download either the North American or International version of the upgrade ZIP file, depending on which of these installations you ran for the core 9.0 software, and extract the files. Each ZIP file includes three update executables: the client/server update, the SOAP server installation (described here), and the administrative utilities update (described here). The North American client/server update file is called RPS SP1 Patch North American.exe. The International client/server update file is called RPS SP1 Patch International.exe. Save this file to a location on your network accessible by all RightFax server and client computers on which it will be run.

  2. Log on to the RightFax computer as an administrator.

  3. Run the update program from its location on the network.

  4. At the introductory screen, click Update. A status bar indicates the progress of the installation.

  5. When the installation is complete, click Finish.

Installing the SOAP Server and Client Applications

The SOAP client/server installation lets RightFax users use the Print-to-Fax feature from any computer with an Internet connection. The SOAP server must be installed on an IIS server running version 9.0 of RightFax Web Access. The SOAP client then accesses RightFax through that server. This provides RightFax functionality to home-office or other remote employees who do not have direct access to your organization's network. There are two components to the SOAP installation: install the SOAP server on the IIS computer running RightFax Web Access, and then install the SOAP client on the remote client computers.

Installing the SOAP Server

  1. Update the RightFax Web Access installation on the Web Access IIS server according to the instructions in the section Installing Feature Pack 1 on RightFax Servers and Client Computers.

  2. Log on to the Web Client IIS server as an administrator.

  3. Navigate to the SOAP server installation file RightFax SOAP Server.exe that you extracted from the downloaded ZIP file (described here).

  4. At the introductory screen, click Next.

  5. Read and select the option to accept the terms of the license agreement. Click Next.

  6. Click Install to begin the installation. A status bar indicates the progress of the installation.

  7. When the installation is complete, click Finish.

Installing the SOAP Client

When you install the SOAP server on the Web Access IIS server, the SOAP client installation file RightFax Client for the Web.exe is installed in the Program Files\RightFax\WebApps\WebUtil\Client Install folder. You must send this file via e-mail, copy it to a removable storage medium, or otherwise make it available to the remote clients. Follow these steps on each remote computer to install the SOAP client:

  1. Run the RightFax SOAP client installation file RightFax Client for the Web.exe.

  2. At the introductory screen, click Next.

  3. Enter the Web address of the SOAP server (e.g., www.MyCompany.SOAPServer.com) and the machine name of the RightFax server when prompted. Click Next.

  4. Click Install to begin the installation. A status bar indicates the progress of the installation.

  5. When the installation is complete, click Finish.

Using the SOAP Client

After you install the RightFax SOAP client, a RightFax tray icon will appear in the computer's Start bar. Users can access RightFax Print-to-Fax features through the shortcut menu from this icon. Users can also print documents directly to the RightFax Fax Printer (a new printer type that the client installation adds), which prompts for fax addressing information and transmits the document via the RightFax server.

Updating the RightFax Administrative Utilities

The RightFax Administrative Utilities are installed separately from other RightFax server and client components. Follow these steps to update the RightFax Administrative Utilities on all computers where they are already installed.

  1. Log on to the computer with the RightFax Administrative Utilities installed.

  2. Navigate to the file Administrative Utilities SP1.exe that you extracted from the downloaded ZIP file (described here).

  3. At the introductory screen, click Update. A status bar indicates the progress of the installation.

  4. When the installation is complete, click Finish.

Updating the RightFax Client Install Folder

The RightFax Client Installs folder lets you store the RightFax client installation files on your network so that you can easily run all new RightFax client installations from that location. The installation files in this folder should be used for all new client installations. Existing clients should be upgraded by running the Feature Pack 1executable file directly on each client computer.

Follow these steps on the server where the version 9.0 RightFax Client Installs folder resides (described in the RightFax Installation Guide):

  1. Download either the North American or International version of the upgrade executable, depending on which of these installations you ran for the core 9.0 software. The North American download file is called RPS SP1 Patch North American.exe. The International  download file is called RPS SP1 Patch International.exe. Save this file to a temporary location of your choice, e.g., the C:\temp folder.

  2. Open a command prompt and navigate to the existing client installs folder where the file RightFax Product Suite.msi is located.

  3. At the command prompt, enter:

    "C:\temp\
    RPS SP1 Patch North American.exe " /V"/a RightF~1.msi (for the North American upgrade)

    or


    "C:\temp\
    RPS SP1 Patch International.exe " /V"/a RightF~1.msi (for the international upgrade)
     

  4. Once the installer window is displayed, follow the on-screen prompts to update the client installs to Feature Pack 1. If the installer fails to display or if you receive an error message, verify the path to the temporary folder where you saved the upgrade executable file.

  5. After the RightFax client installs folder on your network has been upgraded, it should be used for new client installations only. If you want to upgrade existing RightFax client installations, you should run the RPS SP1 Patch North American.exe or RPS SP1 Patch International.exe file directly  on each client computer.

Updating Lotus Notes Gateway Client Computers

After you upgrade the RightFax server to version 9.0 Feature Pack 1 (described in the section Installing Feature Pack 1 on RightFax Servers and Client Computers), the Notes update file NGPatch.NSF is copied into the \RightFax\Gateway folder. The steps for applying this update to the Notes Gateway depends on the type of installation you already have. To upgrade Notes, follow only the steps under the heading listed below for your specific  installation type.

Caution: If you left files in the temp directory after your last installation, those files must be removed or a different temp directory specified during the install in order for the databases to be updated correctly.

Note: In a clustered Notes environment, documents that are sent while a node is failed over are held in the MAIL.BOX of the server to which the client is connected.  When the node on which the Notes Gateway is installed is returned to service, outbound messages are processed according to the settings on the Connections document.

To ensure the previous version files are deleted during the upgrade when running the 9.00 installer and 9.01 installer back-to-back, you should take the following steps

  1. Complete the 9.0 installer.

  2. Close the Notes client from which the installer is being run.

  3. On the Domino server console, type "dbcache flush." This will not delete any data, but will free up connections that are currently in use but are still cached.

  4. Re-open the Notes client and continue with the 9.01 Installer.

For update instruction for your specific Notes Gateway configuration, click the appropriate setting:

Error

The documentation omits some inportant information about failovers in Domino cluster environments.

Resolution

If you are running the Lotus Notes module in a clustered Domino server environment, note that faxes that are sent during a failover of the node used to install the RightFax gateway will sit in the MAIL.BOX of the node being used by the Notes clients. When the node used to install the RightFax Gateway is returned to service, those faxes will be processed according to your Domino Connections document configuration. Please see your Domino documentation for instructions on configuring your Connections document.

Error

The documentation did not mention an additional required step during upgrades from version 8.x to 9.0.

Resolution

Because the name of the EFM Sync database file was changed between version 8.x and 9.x, the administrator must resend the Connections document to each fax user in the EFM Sync database, after upgrading from version 8.x.

Error

The documentation fails to mention sending requirements for certified delivery and SecureDocs documents.

Resolution

Sending RightFax messages of type "Document" (for Certified Delivery) requires that the recipient have an SMTP e-mail address, and sending RightFax messages of type "SMS" requires that the recipient have a cell phone number. Either of these may be picked from from the Domino Directory or from the Personal Address Book. If the required information is not present, the user will not appear in the address of the memo once the Addressing dialog box has been closed.

Error

The documentation did not mention that prioritization of outbound faxes is controlled by the Domino prioritization settings.

Resolution

The priority setting on faxes sent from the Notes client uses the Domino prioritization settings. If a fax is sent with low priority, and the Domino server is configured to send low priority messages at midnioght (the dafault Domino setting), then the fax will not be delivered to the RightFax server until midnight.
