Installation

Prodocom is installed after FormTrap Server.

Have your technical staff "poke a hole" in the firewall to allow direct communication between your FormTrap Server and the Prodocom Server. The port used is 6721. Prodocom's server address is 202.92.68.243.

Stop the FormTrap Spooler server and install Prodocom. Restart the FormTrap Spooler Service. Check that these two programs are running:

  • Send Service.exe
  • Rip2CompName.exe

These are Prodocom programs and communicate securely and directly between your FormTrap Spooler Service machine and the Prodocom Server.
