The IP/Port line will specify which port the HTTP service is using. You should be able  

to put the Server Url into a web browser and see a simple web page. 

 

3.1.2.2 Using HTTP Clients over the Internet 
Before any clients can be used over the Internet, the fax server’s HTTP service must be made accessible

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

from the internet. Using a domain name is recommended, to allow changing the IP address used

 

 

 

   

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

without

needing

to

reconfigure

all

clients.

Verify

it

works

by

going

entering

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

http://faxserver.domain.com:84/HttpService.api in a web browser, changing faxserver.domain.com

 

   

 

 

 

 

appropriately. You should see a simple web page. 

 

Once the fax server is accessible, the client MSIs must be updated with the new URL. An MSI editing

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tool like Microsoft Orca is required to edit the MSIs. Orca can be downloaded from Microsoft as part of the

 

 

 

   

   

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

   

   

 

Windows

SDK

Components

for

Windows Installer Developers (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

us/library/aa370834(VS.85).aspx). 

 

Download each MSI you will be using, and open each of them with Orca. Navigate to the Property table,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

and modify the SERVER_URL property value. The value should be http:// plus the fully qualified domain

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

name of the fax server, plus the port used (if any). Do not include a trailing slash or any part of the

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

   

 

   

 

   

 

service path. 

 

 

 

Place the MSIs somewhere your users can access them. Do not replace the originals on the fax server

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

since they will be overwritten and the changes will be lost.
