Completion Packet Folder: Completed order packets (“P” packets) will be
written to this directory. They should have their completion status checked and
then deleted by the API client application.
This field can be left blank and the server will discard the completed order
packet. The only way to check if the fax was sent successfully in this case is
using a report (see
2.7 Reporting ).
Scan Rate: Normally the API module will poll the order packet folder every 5
seconds. This is normally sufficient, but if needed the poll rate can be changed.
Suppress Page Header: Disables the identification line normally created by
the fax server at the top of the page.
2.10.2
Controlling the Number of Packets Read By the Server
Normally, the Connector API module will only read and process new packets
when the Scheduled plus Active queues have fewer than three times the fax
server’s port count. This provides good throughput while not excessively
delaying other faxes being sent by the fax server from other sources.
Number of packets to process at the server is controlled by
[HKLM\Software\FaxBack\AsciiPacketServer] "PortThresholdMultiplier"
(dword)
multiplied by the number of ports.
2.10.3
Multiple Order Packet Folders
The Connector API module can only read from a single order directory. In order
to read packets from multiple directories it is necessary to load multiple
Connector API modules. Each instance of the module requires its own registry
key and settings, its own unique copy of the
asc2cas.dll , and its own user to log
into the fax server with.
2.10.3.1
Copy Connector API DLL
First make a unique copy of the asc2cas.dll by copying the file in the NET
SatisFAXtion server installation directory. For example, copy it to asc2cas_2.dll .
2.10.3.2 Create NET SatisFAXtion Account
Create a new account in the Administration program for the new Connector API
module to log in with. For example
ClarityNS2 . The account only needs user
level permissions.
2.10.3.3
Create Registry Key
Create a new uniquely named ASCIIPacketServer registry key under
HKLM\Software\FaxBack to go with the copied DLL. For example
ASCIIPacketServer_2 . The new registry key must at least have the following
values:
CompletionDir [string]: Set to the Completion Packet Folder to use
with this instance of the Connector API module.
Domain [string]: Same as in ASCIIPacketServer .
FaxServer [string]: Same as in ASCIIPacketServer .
