Fax Server IP Manual 7
1 Introduction
The Fax Server IP is a stand-alone network fax machine. Together with the
Fax Server IP Archiving System and the Send Fax application it forms a
complete network faxing system. Faxes can be sent from every workstation
on the network with the Send Fax application. The Send Fax application
addresses the Fax Server IP, which stores the fax and takes care of the
actual fax transmission. All faxes received by the Fax Server IP are stored
on the internal hard disk and can be viewed from every workstation with the
Fax Server IP Archiving System. The Fax Server IP handles incoming and
outgoing fax transmission and stores all sent and received faxes. All stored
faxes are available through the network. The Fax Server has extensive E-
mail capabilities. Incoming faxes can be selectively E-mailed to programmed
E-mail addresses. Fax transmission results are E-mailed to the Send Fax
User.
1.1 Fax Server IP
The Fax Server IP is the actual fax machine. The telephone line connection
enables the reception and sending of faxes. All sent and received faxes are
stored in a database on the internal hard disk.
Faxes can be sent from every workstation using the Send Fax application.
The Send Fax application addresses the Fax Server IP to send the fax. The
Fax Server IP takes care of the actual fax transmission and can E-mail the
User back with the result of the fax transmission.
The Fax Server IP holds a list of Users. This list can be managed from within
the Send Fax Options.
The fax database on the Fax Server IP can be accessed with the Fax Server
IP Archiving System through the network connection. All received and sent
faxes can be viewed from every workstation connected to the network.
E-mail is fully integrated in the Fax Server. Received faxes can be
selectively E-mailed to programmed E-mail addresses. In case several local
fax numbers are used the selection can take place according to local fax
number. Your PBX should support this function to enable this kind of
selection. Selection of faxes for distribution via E-mail can also take place
according to remote Fax ID. After fax transmission the Fax Server can E-
mail the result of the fax transmission back to the User of the Send Fax.
