FaxPress Outlook Direct
FaxPress Outlook Direct Overview
Castelle's FaxPress Outlook Direct service software provides a simplified, cost-effective way for
Microsoft Exchange and Outlook users to send and receive faxes using the FaxPress network fax
server. Client rather than server-based, Outlook Direct has the ability to operate independently of
an Exchange server, making it ideal for smaller networks. Outlook Direct allows the use of familiar
Outlook commands to create, address, and send faxes right from the Outlook inbox, making fax
messaging as simple as sending an email. Outlook Direct's integration with Outlook, Fax Address
template, and real time fax status viewing tools further simplify your fax messaging.
How it works
The Castelle FaxPress Transport, a service added to your email profile, connects Outlook to the
FaxPress server. The FaxPress Transport delivers messages to the FaxPress for faxing, enables
viewing of Faxmain's list of inbound and outbound faxes, allows the user to set faxing parameters
and if automatic routing is active on your network, will also notify users of personal incoming
faxes.
Users can utilize the FaxPress server to send and receive faxes and view incoming and outgoing
faxes from within their Outlook or Exchange client. Sending faxes is as simple as sending email.
Attachments are rendered into fax documents, allowing you to send an attached file to both fax and
email recipients simultaneously. Documents may also be sent as fax messages directly from within
most third-party applications.
