Connect to a Typefi Server

Typefi Writer needs a connection to a Typefi Server to attach to workflows and produce output. There are a few different server addresses depending on the product you purchased:

You will also need a username and password. These will either be provided by Typefi or your IT department. If you are unsure, ask your Solutions Consultant.

To connect to a Typefi Server:

1.  In the Typefi tab, within the Writer group, click Options.
   
2. In the Typefi Writer Options dialog, go to Server connections and click Add.
3. In the Connect to Server dialog, type in the server address (the server address uses https:// by default. If you are using Typefi Desktop, replace this with http://), username, and password.
4. Select Remember my password.
5. Click Test.
6. If the test is successful, you will receive a message to confirm that everything is set up properly; click OK.
7. Back in the Typefi Writer Options dialog, set the connection timeout. If Typefi Writer cannot connect to a Typefi Server within the connection timeout, then you will see a timeout error. The timeout value ranges from 1 to 30 seconds; the default value is 10 seconds.
