RightFax 20.2 Installation Guide

Getting Started: Installation Guide

The RightFax server is the computer that runs the fax server software. The server performs all the work required for sending and receiving faxes, including managing the fax database, converting documents into fax images, adding signatures, overlaying forms, maintaining logs, printing faxes, and creating fax cover sheets.

When you install RightFax, the complete suite of RightFax products is installed. Product licensing determines the capabilities of the server and which modules you can activate. You can upgrade the RightFax server and purchase licenses for optional modules as needed. For information about upgrading the server and adding new RightFax modules, see Adding features and fax channels on page 60.

In addition to the installed software, Setup creates several Windows services, adds RightFax configuration settings to the Windows Registry, adds some configuration programs to Windows Control Panel, and installs the FaxUtil and Enterprise Fax Manager client programs.

RightFax uses a SQL database to store all its data. If you do not connect to an existing SQL server on your network during installation, RightFax will install a SQL Server 2014 SP2 Express database on the RightFax server.

RightFax software

All of the RightFax software is installed on the server in the folder you specify during installation. By default, the software installs in the
C:Program Files (x86)RightFax folder.

Do not install the software in the Program Files folder reserved for 64-bit program files.
