Hostname : The hostname or IP address of the Esker on Demand server you received from your Esker
Account Manager. Set it to your main location for the main FoDC device (FoDC) and to the other location for
the failover device (FoDC2), according to:
• USA server: na.ondemand.esker.com
• European server: as1.ondemand.esker.com
Account ID : The Esker on Demand ID you received from your Esker Account Manager. Set the same value
for both devices.
Password : The Esker on Demand password you received from your Esker Account Manager. Set the same
value for both devices.
This can be done from VSI-FAX Server Administration or from a command shell.
Command line
Log on to the VSI-FAX Server with the vsifax user, open a command prompt on your computer and enter the
following:
vfxadmin config -a -i FODC DEVICE hostname na.ondemand.esker.com
vfxadmin config -a -i FODC DEVICE accountid myaccount222
vfxadmin config -a -e -i FODC DEVICE password mypasswordxxx
vfxadmin config -a -i FODC2 DEVICE hostname as1.ondemand.esker.com
vfxadmin config -a -i FODC2 DEVICE accountid myaccount222
vfxadmin config -a -e -i FODC2 DEVICE password mypasswordxxx
The example above sets the USA location as main device and the European location as failover device.

start the VSI-FAX administration interface, if Fax on Demand failover is enabled,
which is the default status for this
feature, as it will automatically enable the main Fax on Demand device).
