Other requirements:

  • Faxing: Service from eFax or similar Company is required (not included with your license of SX3).
  • Emails:  MS Outlook or MS Outlook Express must be installed in each station you will be sending emails from.
    Must use POP3 accounts with standard SMTP server configuration ports. Some configurations (e.g. yahoo.com, aol.com godaddy.com) are not compatible.

System Key:

  •  A USB port must be available on the server or one of the stations to connect the SX3 dongle key. This key must be plugged to the selected computer and shared to all the SX3 users at all times in order for the software to work.

Server installation:

The installation in the server only requires:

  • Creation of a shared folder named \SX3.
  • Configuring the shared permissions on \SX3 folder so all the SX3 users must have full rights access to it.
  • Storing the main database files and applications in this folder.
  • Sharing the USB dongle key to all the users (if connected to the server).

Stations installation:

Installation of SX3 in the workstation (LAN stations) is very simple.

  • A folder named \SX3LOCAL will be created in the C:\ drive (C:\SX3LOCAL\) of each station the first time you log into SX3. This folder contains some empty files used for temporal catalogs and it is kept in the C:\ drive to reduce network traffic.
  • An icon to the application is created on the station’s desktop. This icon points to the application in your server.
  • Sharing the USB dongle key to all the users (if connected to a station).
