Verifying the Installation

Once you have installed the NaturalFax software, verify that the system is operational before you continue.
Before running the NaturalFax verification procedures described in this chapter, make sure that: CT Access is properly installed. Your system hardware includes at least one AG board that can support NaturalFax. The AG board is initialized and operating correctly.

After you have edited the license configuration file, licenses.txt, to include your NaturalFax password, run the nfxports utility to verify the password is configured correctly. agmon must be running in order to run nfxports.
For more information about agmon, refer to the AG Runtime Configuration and Developer's Manual. For more information about nfxports, refer to the NaturalFax Developer's Reference Manual.
To run nfxports: Make sure agmon is running. At the command line, enter: nfxports A message similar to the following example appears: NaturalFax: There are 60 license units available, of which 0 are in use. This message indicates the NaturalFax license monitor program was successfully initialized, and verifies that the password(s) in licenses.txt is correct.

Use the CT Access version checker utility, ctavers, to verify that the NaturalFax software can be successfully loaded. The CT Access version checker verifies that all the CT Access libraries defined in the CT Access configuration file (cta.cfg) are accessible. The version checker program displays a list of the versions of all CT Access components on the screen.
To run ctavers: From the command line, enter: ctavers
See Section 1.8 for more information about the CT Access configuration file.

After you verify your password, use nfxsend and nfxrecv to send and receive a test fax. You can use the sample TIFF_F file, sample.tif, to verify your installation.
To send a fax: From the command line, enter: nfxsend -b board -s stream:timeslot -r resolution -e encoding -p protocol -v -d telno transmit_file_1 [transmit_file_2 [...]]
To receive a fax: From the command line, enter: nfxrecv -b board -s stream:timeslot -r resolution -e encoding -p protocol -v receive_file_1 [receive_file_2 [...]]
Refer to the NaturalFax Developer's Reference Manual for more information on the nfxsend and nfxrecv demonstration programs.
