If you select the Apogee System in the Hardware pane, you will see the Configuration icon in the Resources pane.

By double-clicking the Configuration icon, you can access the Apogee System settings. These settings allow you to specify an e-mail address to which all system-related messages will be sent.

Select this check box to enable the e-mail service, and enter an e-mail address in the box on the right.

Specifies the name associated with your e-mail address. When you send messages, this name appears in the From box of your outgoing messages.

Specifies the e-mail address that people should use when sending mail to you at this account. The e-mail address must be in the format name@company: For example, johndoe@ECO3.com.

Specifies your SMTP server for outgoing messages. You can get this information from your internet service provider or LAN administrator.

Specifies whether to use the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) security protocol when connecting to this server. The administrator or internet service provider for the server will indicate if the SSL requirement exists.

Allows you to specify an SMTP port that will be used instead of the default SMTP port.

Specifies whether to require authentication when connecting to this server. Select this check box, enter the e-mail address and the password in the boxes on the right.

This button sends an e-mail using the Sender address to test the Mail Server configuration.

You can instruct Apogee to write backups of its system database to a backup disk or shared volume. This allows you to restore the database in case the main system fails. The Backup tab controls whether Apogee backs up the system database, and how and when it does it.

Backs up and optimizes the databases. Full backups are a costly operation, and you should therefore limit the frequency (the default is once a day) and run it when production activity is minimal (default at 04:00). The minimum period for a full backup is once per day.

The Schedule group shows the dates of the last full and incremental backups.

Press this button to perform a full database backup using the saved configuration (i.e. the configuration stored on the server). You can do this at any time, regardless of automatic backup schedules. This button is disabled when there is no backup destination, or when Apogee is currently backing up the database.

Backs up system process resources (in the event of a system crash).

Apogee writes a copy of the backup data to the location (local disk or shared volume) you define or to the PrintSphere cloud server. If it cannot write to that location, Apogee notifies you and disables the schedules.

This is a local disk that Apogee uses during the backup process. You can select any disk that is local to the core server, and that is not being used as a backup destination.

You can keep a number of full backup sets instead of keeping only the latest. This allows you to roll back the state of the system beyond the most recent backup. If you choose to keep only the last one, Apogee deletes the previous backup set (or sets) after successfully doing a full backup. If you choose to keep the last ‘n’ sets, Apogee leaves the most recent backups and purges the older one(s). Any changes to this option come into effect the next time a full backup is made.

Specify the password that is required to open the PDF files.

Specify the password that is required to print and/or change permissions of the PDF files.

Locate the digital-ID file with extensions of .pxf or .p12 files. The file must be accessible by the Apogee Server and all of its Satellites.

Specify the password that is used to create the digital-ID.

If you want to encrypt files when you export them, you must preserve the Certificate from the input files. The exported files can then re-use that Certificate.

Select this check box to preserve certificate of the input file and export encrypted files.

Compares the System settings against the default values.

Restores all settings to their factory defaults.
