Advanced Configuration Features

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The configuration system used for program versions 7.2 and later includes features to cater for non-standard environments. Most CopiaFacts users will have no need to use these features, and they are not recommended for use unless no other solution can be found.

The COPIACONNECT.INI file is located on each machine in a 'Copia' sub-folder under Documents and Settings, All Users, Application Data.  This is essential to allow access by all users, services and print drivers.  When this file is created, its permissions are set to allow access by all users.  In some cases, however, site policy will restrict access to this folder.  If so, a Windows environment variable named CopiaConnectIniPath may be set to the full pathname of a COPIACONNECT.INI file in an alternate position.  Wherever you locate this file, it should be made accessible to all local users and services.

COPIACONNECT.INI contains an entry in the following format:

[CopiaAppdataShare]

UNCname=\\server\COPIA

The COPIA share located from this INI entry normally contains up to five items:

FAXFACTS\the Copia Application Data folder
NETBIN\a folder used to save network installer files
COPIACONNECT.EXEthe utility program which can be run from other machines running fax server software (such as COPIAFACTS and FFEXTERN) to set up the connection to this COPIA share
SETUP.EXEan installer for the CopiaFacts client software (FFCLIENT)
CFREG.DLLa support library for COPIACONNECT and SETUP

For special purposes, the FAXFACTS and NETBIN folders may be located elsewhere, though this is not recommended.  To do this, provide a file named CFLINK.INI in the root of the COPIA share, which may contain one or both of the following entries:

[CopiaAppData]

UNCname=\\machine\sharename\Fax

[CopiaNetBin]

UNCname=\\machine\sharename\Bin

The CFLINK.INI file is not supported by Copia program releases 7.1xx and earlier.
