6 The Internal Number List and how faxes
are answered
The next step in the configuration is to fill in the
Internal (Fax) Number
List.
Normally you will have to tell a Fax Server what numbers it should answer.
On an ISDN line bundle, PRI or BRI, there are several or many numbers
available. The internal fax number list is the list of numbers that the Fax
Server will answer to.
However, there is an exception to this rule: if the Fax Server is configured to
be the only machine on the line(s), then it will answer all incoming calls. This
will when:
•
A Fax Sever for ISDN BRI is stand alone on a point to point line.
•
A Fax Server for ISDN PRI is in stand alone mode (a PRI line is always
“point to point”)
In the above two situations the Fax Server will receive faxes and handle
them as in the default settings given by you as LAN settings or system
settings.
In all other cases the Internal Number List will be applied.
The Internal Number list is nothing more then a list of numbers that the Fax
Server will answer to. These numbers must be supplied to you by the
telephony provider. In some instances you get many of numbers for one line
or bundle of lines already when you subscribe. In other cases you will have
to order more numbers from your provider. In any case the idea is that
everyone in your office who needs a direct fax number will get that, just like
he has his direct phone number.
To every number in the list an email address should be added. Faxes
received on the fax number are forwarded by email to the associated email
address. In this way everyone in your office will immediately receive the
faxes that are sent to his own direct fax number.
Important:
The internal number list can also be managed on the PC. See
the next chapter about managing users.
There is also an
external
number list. The external number list is used to
define fax recording numbers. We will explain this later.
