Install Message Connector
The Message Connector is primarily responsible for collecting messages from various sources, converting them to a format compatible with Kofax Capture and saving them in its internal storage.
You can install this component on the Kofax Capture computer. However, for performance reasons, we recommend that you install Message Connector on a separate computer that can be accessed by Kofax Capture via network.
With the default configuration, Message Connector uses the following port:
-
TCP port 25086: Used for web interface between KC Plug-In and Message Connector
You can use additional ports depending on the configured features.
| Ports | Used for |
|---|---|
| TCP port 25 | SMTP |
| TCP port 1720 | Fax over IP via H.323 |
| UDP port 5060 | Fax over IP via SIP |
| TCP ports 25087, 25088 | Web services |
If other applications use any of these ports, you must change them in Message Connector configuration. Firewall or anti-virus software are known to block traffic on the ports, especially port 25. Review the settings of these products in case of connection problems.

- Start setup.exe from the Kofax Import Connector installation folder.
