INSTALLING BROOKTROUT DRIVERS ON UNIX/LINUX

Modifying the Brooktrout board or SR140

configuration on Unix/Linux

The configuration of your Brooktrout board (or virtual board in case of the SR140 Fax Software) is stored in the

following directory:

/usr/sys/boston

This directory contains various configuration files, binaries and tools used by the fax board or SR140 Fax Software.

The global settings used by your board or the SR140 Fax Software are stored in the btcall.cfg

configuration file.

The IP interface parameters of your board or SR140 Fax Software are stored in the callctrl.cfg

configuration file.

Refer to Brooktrout configuration files

(page 47) for details on all the parameters in these two files.

To modify your (virtual) board configuration or add a new board:

1. Run the vsi-boston-config.sh shell file.

2. Answer yes when prompted to stop VSI-FAX Admin Server and VSI-FAX Fax Server.

3. Answer no when asked if you want to keep your existing configuration.

4. You are then prompted with the same questions as during first configuration:

• For a physical board: board type, circuit type, module number, IP interface parameters if applicable.

For details, refer to Installing Brooktrout drivers and configuring TR1034 or TruFax boards on

Unix/Linux (page 36).

• For SR140 Fax Software: license file, number of channels to use, IP stack to use, network interface

name, etc. For details, refer to Installing Brooktrout drivers and configuring SR140 on Unix/Linux

(page 39).

5. When needed, the VSI-FAX Fax Server is automatically restarted via the vsibost.sh start command to

ensure your configuration is taken into account.

6. Run the following command to be sure that your (virtual) board is correctly reinitialized:

vsisched.sh start

Uninstalling Brooktrout drivers on

Unix/Linux

To remove the TR1034-SR140 Brooktrout drivers from your Unix/Linux platform, run the following shell file:

vsi-boston-uninstall.sh

Note

This uninstalls the Brooktrout drivers and the fax server's usage of these drivers but this does not uninstall the

Fax Server.
