# Launch Tester

When the Keyfax Client installation is complete, the Windows Start Menu will contain a link named **Keyfax Launcher (OCX testing only)** or for ActiveH integrations **Keyfax Launcher (MIS testing only)**.

This program emulates the Host system sending data to Keyfax and is normally only ever required/used by IT Support staff when Host system integration problems occur. In most cases, if Keyfax can be launched by this test program but not from the Host system, the problem lies with the Host system!

For **non MIS ActiveH integrations** you will see a dialogue like this:&#x20;

Information to be sent to Keyfax can be changed by editing the inputs on the '**Startup information**' tab. This has default values populated from an initialisation file (`TestOCX.ini` or `TestOCX_MIS.ini` for MIS installations) in `C:\Program Files\Keyfax` or `C:\Program Files\Keyfax(x86)` on the client PC.&#x20;

The value to specify for **Company** (point **1** below) must be the name of an existing **Keyfax configuration**. Contact Omfax Systems for more information. Complete other details as required and click the **Send Startup XML** button:

For MIS-AMS ActiveH installations, this dialogue will appear. You will need to supply an ActiveH connection string (1) and (as a minimum) you will need to derive a valid **userID** code (2) from the `Shared_Users_T` table in ActiveH. If you do not supply a valid code, or the derived user is not valid in Keyfax, the script dialogue window will not launch.&#x20;

Once the required information is entered, click the  **Send Startup XM**L button (3). This will then launch Keyfax in an Internet Explorer browser control, within a custom popup window. You can ignore the **Is Keyfax Active** button.

After an Keyfax script has completed, the resulting XML data is formatted and output to the '**XML Results**' tab.
