No special configuration steps need to be taken to configure the FAX addressing form. Unlike the CCSO or LDAP/X.500 forms, the FAX form may be used without creating an option file. Customizing the form for another language is discussed in Section 21.2.1.2 .
See Section 21.1.1.1 for details on configuring PMDF to recognize a name other than FAX-FORM for invoking the form.
21.2.1.1 Option files
Various aspects of the FAX form may be controlled through the use of an
option file. By default, no option file exists for the form. Should you
wish to create an option file, it must have the name
fax_form_option and be stored in the PMDF table directory
(i.e., PMDF_TABLE:fax_form_option. on OpenVMS).
The option file must be world readable. The file
fax_form_option.sample in the PMDF table directory is a
sample option file which specifies the default values used by the
pop-up form.
Each line of the option file contains the setting for one option. An option setting has the form:
option=valuewhere the valid option names and option values are given below.
DEFDMN (text string <= 40 characters long)
Specify the default value to place in the "FAX gateway address" field when the PMDF_TEXT_FAX_DOMAIN logical is not defined.DEFRTE (text string <= 40 characters long)
Specify the value to use as a source route when the PMDF_TEXT_FAX_ROUTE logical is not defined.HELPFILE (text string <= 252 characters long)
Specify a file whose content is to be displayed when help is requested. A full path to the file must be specified; the file must be world readable.NEXT (K, L, N, or P)
Specify the control character which may be entered to move to the next address (when more than one address is being entered). By default, CTRL/N (NEXT=N) is the control character keystroke used. This option is ignored by the DECwindows version of the pop-up form.PREV (K, L, N, or P)
Specify the control character which may be entered to move to the previous address (when more than one address is being entered). By default, CTRL/P (PREV=P) is the control character keystroke used. This option is ignored by the DECwindows version of the pop-up form.
21.2.1.2 Changing languages
The file fax_form_option.sample in the PMDF table
directory is a sample option file which specifies the default option
values used by the pop-up FAX form. In that option file, there appear a
large number of options beginning with STR_ or ending with _LABEL or
_COMMENT. Those options, which are not documented here, may be used to
control the text appearing in labels, prompts, and messages. They allow
customization of the form for use with languages other than English.
