When in normal use, most people
will have the NetCFax client logged into the fax server, but if
they were to be called away from their desk, that fax client could
potentially be used by anyone, and what is worse, they could
change any configuration settings they may feel they wanted to.
We felt this was not a very good
idea, so we actually provide two different automatic timeout
systems, one in the fax server, the other in the clients.
The Fax Server timeout can be
enabled or disabled by the server administrator, and if it is
enabled, then ANY FAX CLIENT that is connected to the fax server
for longer than the timeout period that has been set WITHOUT
connecting to the server to do something will be disconnected
remotely by the server. Quite naturally, the Fax Clients
cannot control or override this.
The fax clients also have a
similar setting that is accessed from the
Tools - General Fax
Client Options menu item.
At the very top of the window
that is displayed is the check box to enable or disable this, and
there is a spinner that lets you decide how long a period of
inactivity will tell the client to log out from the server.
If you have NetCFax Pro v3.00.7 or later, you can however also set
the client up to automatically try to login again after x seconds,
and how many times it will attempt this.
IMPORTANT - By default,
once a fax client is not logged in to a fax server, most of it's
configuration system is not available.
