Configuration
3.4 OfficeMaster Gate and Exchange Unified Messaging
Notee! ▼ Is Exchange UM used as a voice mail system with OCS or Lync, no additional con-
figuration of the gateway for Exchange is needed. The before named systems
independently set up the connection to the UM role.
Shall an ordinary telecommunications installation be connected to Exchange UM via OfficeMaster Gate, begin
the configuration in the basic mode of the configuration program (see basic configuration mode).
With this, the gateway should already be ready for use. Further information can be found under Functionality
and connection.
3.4.1 Receiving Fax with Microsoft Exchange 2010/2013
Introduction
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 with the Unified Messaging Role provides the possibility to receive fax, with -
out having to use third-party software. This fax function is based on the voice mail system, meaning that incoming
fax calls need to reach the Voice-Mailbox of the respective user first. After successfully having set up the connec
-
tion, the protocol has to be changed from language to T.38 Fax to enable fax receiving. The VoIP gateway in use has
to support T.38 for this function.
Fax is not part of Exchange UM, additionally some useful features for fax like ECM (error correction) are miss -
ing. Nevertheless, this solution has proven to be a useful extension to the Unified Messaging-Software of a wide
range of users.
Receiving Fax with Exchange 2010 UM
With Exchange 2010, Microsoft decided to completely leave fax communication to third¬party software, quite
like in their Exchange 2007 versions. In order to enable users to still receive fax messages, Microsoft built in the
option of switching between Voice-Mailbox and fax. This is realized via separate fax solutions, which receive the
fax via T.38 and then, like in Exchange 2007, send an email with TIFF attachment to the mailbox of the user.
