Installing the Client on Windows Terminal Server
Running the FaxPress client software on a Microsoft Windows Terminal Server provides the
same easy-to-use, integrated messaging features associated with running the FaxPress
client on standalone workstations.
About Terminal Server and Citrix MetaFrame
This section summarizes the relationship of MetaFrame to Terminal Server.
About Microsoft Windows Terminal Server
The Microsoft Windows Terminal Server Edition is an extension of the Windows NT Server
4.0 and 2000 product line. In a Microsoft Windows Terminal Server/Citrix MetaFrame
environment, all applications are loaded on and processed on the dedicated terminal
server. Terminal Server users experience the Windows NT workstation desktop operating
system and Windows-based applications centrally installed and running on the server
from low cost thin-client terminals. This centralized administration results in rapid
deployment of applications.
The FaxPress client, for example, must be installed only once on the Terminal Server,
and then have access rights assigned, for the FaxPress client to then become available
to all end-users on the network.
About Citrix MetaFrame
The Citrix MetaFrame add-on package is installed after your NT or 2000 server has the
terminal server option enabled. The Citrix MetaFrame application provides Microsoft's
Windows Terminal Server with additional server and client functionality by allowing any
client, no matter what operating system, to connect to a Windows Terminal Server and
run a Windows application through their browser. MetaFrame also provides a secure
encryption option, load balancing, and enables publishing and application management
from a single server in a server farm. Additionally, Citrix MetaFrame provides Citrix
MetaFrame Administrator tools for the Terminal Server, which the Terminal Server alone
does not have.
Citrix Published Applications
Citrix Published Applications can be an HTML application (Citrix NFuse) or a Windows 32-
bit application that allows Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator users web-
based access to applications such as Microsoft Word/ Excel, FaxPress client, VBScript and
JavaScript Programming.
Captaris has tested the FaxPress client version 9.x with Citrix Windows 32-Bit Published
Applications configured for Microsoft Word/ Excel/ PowerPoint/ Access.
Note: FaxPress does not support Citrix WinFrame 1.7/1.8 for the 3.51 NT
Server platform.
