This command sets up default class fax1 and adds device modem1 to it. Note that fax1 is
the value you will insert in the Printer/Fax # field on the System > System Files >
Printer Setup > Assign Printer/Fax screen.
For every geographic location (branch) that has its own VSI-FAX modem, set up a
default class. For example, use classes fax2 and fax3 for the additional locations. Within
each class you can set up several modem devices, such as modem1, modem2, and
modem3.
15. Start the fax server:
# vfxsched start
16. Check the fax server status:
# vfxstat -t
If this fails, check that the TCP/IP network daemons are running. Either start TCP/IP
from smit or call Eclipse Systems Support for assistance.
17. Verify the fax server runs correctly. To do so, add the fax device to Eclipse, then send a
fax to yourself (select Fax Memo on the System menu).
