Introduction to
GFI FAXmaker
GFI FAXmaker
is a fax server that
enables
you to send and receive
faxes via your email infrastructure.
G
FI FAXmaker
for
Exchange/SMTP integrates with Microsoft Exchange Server
2000
/2003
/2007
/2010
/5.5, Lotus Notes and with most popul
ar
SMTP/POP3 Mail servers
and
consists of:
A F
ax S
erver service which handles the sending and receiving of
faxes via the fax hardware.
An Email2F
ax
gateway service that retrieves the faxes to be sent
via a sink or pop3 and sends inbound faxes and fax tran
smission
reports via SMTP.
A fax printer driver and a fax message form which allow users to
send faxes via their
email
client.
The fax message form integrates with the email architecture
:It does
not have any direct links with the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax server s
oftware.
How to deploy
GFI FAXmaker
for Exchange/SMTP
14
GFI FAXmaker
has a very flexible SMTP based architecture
enabling
you to deploy the fax server in a way that best suits your network and
type of mail server. You can also choose whether you want to i
nstall
GFI FAXmaker
on your mail server or whether you want to
install
it on
a
dedicated
machine.
NOTE
1
:
For Microsoft
Exchange
Server
5.5,
you must
always
deploy
GFI FAXmaker
on a
dedicated
machine
.
NOTE 2:
Since
GFI FAXmaker
does not require a lot of r
esources it
can run in the background on your mail server machine.
I
t is
however
often considered good practice to separate your mail server from fax
device hardware such as Brooktrout cards or ISDN cards. The choice
will probably depend on the size of you
r network.
It is recommended that for s
maller networks
,
GFI FAXmaker
is
deployed
on the mail server, whilst
for
larger networks
GFI FAXmaker
should be deployed
on a
dedicated
machine. This separate machine
does not need to be
exclusive to
GFI FAXmaker
.
HowGFI FAXmaker

010
If you have Exchange 2000
,
2003
,
2007
or 2010
as your mail server
you can choose to install
GFI FAXmaker
on the mail server machine
itself or on a separate machine.

Figure

installed on the Exchange 2000
/2003
/2007
/2010
server
When installed directly on mail servers running
Microsoft
Exchange
2007
/2010
, GFI FAXmaker will automatically setup ‘Foreign’ and
‘Receive’ connectors to capture fax requests. W
hen installed directly
on mail servers running MS Exchange Server 2000
/2003
, GFI
FAXmaker uses a ‘sink’ to capture fax requests.
Following the installation, no further configuration is requir
ed. The
connectors and sinks will automatically forward all fax messages to
GFI FAXmaker.
Figure
2-GFI FAXmaker
installed on a
dedicated
server
GFI FAXmaker can also be installed on a dedicated machine which is
not running MS Exchange Server. To achieve this in environments
where mail servers are running on Exchange server 2000
and 2003
you must:
GFI FAXmaker 14.3 for Exchange/Lotus/SMTP
GFI FAXmaker
-
an overview
3
1. Install GFI FAXmaker on the fax server machine (which will require
the IIS SMTP service to be installed). The fax server software and a
sink for the IIS SMTP service will be automatically installed.
2. Run the GFI FAXmaker set
-
up again thi
s time on the Exchange
server. This will create a standard SMTP connector, which will forward
fax requests to the GFI FAXmaker fax server. Alternately, you can
create an Exchange SMTP connector manually as described in ‘The
Exchange 2000
/2003
SMTP connector’ chapter.
To install GFI FAXmaker on a dedicated machine (i.e. machine which
is not running MS Exchange Server software) in an environment
where email services are handled through Exchange
Server
2007
/2010
:
1. Install GFI FAXmaker on the target machine.
2. On your Exchange Server 2007
/2010
manually setup the ‘Send’
and ‘Receive’ connectors which will relay fax queries to GFI
FAXmaker. For more information on how to achieve this refer to ‘The
Exchange 2007
/2010
connectors’ chapter.
Installing
GFI FAXmaker
on a
dedicated
machine
retains
Microsoft
Exchange Server standard
setup
-
no changes to active directory are
made and no custom software will be running on Exchange server.
How it works
at
the client
side
All faxes sent by users from the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax
Message form or
the New Message form of Microsoft Outlook are sent via Microsoft
Outlook using the MAPI format
[FAX:<number>]
. The standard SMTP
connector (which is created by
GFI FAXmaker
during set
-
up and is a
completely standard Exchange connector) forw
ards the faxes via
SMTP to the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax server.
How
GFI FAXmaker

should be installed on a dedicated machine in
installations where
Microsoft Exchange
Server

is being used.
This

machine must be running Windows 2000 or higher and
the
4GFI FAXmaker

GFI FAXmaker 14.3 for Exchange/Lotus/SMTP
IIS SMTP service.
Y
ou must
also
create a routing rule to forward all
mail sent to the domains
fax
maker
.com
and
smsmaker.com
to the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax server.
For information on how
to create this rule
refer to
the ‘
Configuring Exchange Server 5.5 for fax
ing’chapter.
The
GFI FAXmaker
fax server receives the faxes via SMTP
. Through
the use of a
sink
it captures the fax,
converts it to fax format and
faxes it.
Subsequently, i
t will mail back a delivery report to the user.
The same principle
applies
to SMS m
essages.
NOTE:
If Active Directory
is being used
, you must ensure that the
email
address of each
GFI FAXmaker
user is provided
in Active
Directory. Exchange
Server
5.5
does not do this automatically
. If you
don’t use Active Directory you have to configure
the name and email
address of the
GFI FAXmaker
users.
How it works
at
the client
side
All faxes sent by users from the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax Message form
are sent via Microsoft Outlook using the SMTP format
number@faxmaker.com.
I
f the user wants to send a fax u
sing the
New Message form of Microsoft Outlook, the user has to address the
email to
number@faxmaker.com
. Exchange 5.5
is then configured to
forward mails sent to the
fax
maker
.com domain to the
GFI FAXmaker
fax server via SMTP.
How
GF
I FAXmaker
works with Lotus Notes/Domino
If you have Lotus Notes or Domino you can choose to install
GFI
FAXmaker
on the mail server machine itself or on a
dedicated
machine.
Figure
4-GFI FAXmaker
installed on the Lotus Notes machine
In
either case
GFI FAXmaker
retrieves
faxes via a dedicated POP3
mailbox. You will need to create a dedicated mailbox and configure
GFI FAXmake
r
to retrieve the faxes from that mailbox.
For more
information refer to
Configuring
GFI FAXmaker
for Lotus Notes
chapter.

Figure
5-GFI F
AXmaker
installed on a separate machine
If Active Directory
is in use
, you must ensure that the
email
address of
each
GFI FAXmaker
user
is supplied
in Active Directory. If you don’t
use Active Directory you have to configure the name and email
address of
the
GFI FAXmaker
users.
How it works
on
the client
side
All faxes sent by users from the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax Message form
are sent via the
email
client to the dedicated fax mailbox. If the user
wants to send a fax using the new message form of the Lotus Notes
client, the user has to address the email to number@FAX. Lotus
Notes will forward the mail to a POP3 mailbox. This “fax mailbox”
must be dedicated to the fax server.
GFI FAXmaker
will download the
email, convert it to fax format and fax it. Then it will m
ail back a
d
elivery report to the user. The same principle is applied to SMS
messages.
How
GFI FAXmaker
works with an SMTP/POP3 server
If you have an SMTP/POP3 server such as VPOP3 or Mdaemon you
have to choose
if
you want
GFI FAXm
aker
to collect faxes to be faxed
via POP3
orifyou want to configure your mail server to forward the
faxes via SMTP to the
GFI FAXmaker
server.
If you choose
to forward the faxes via SMTP
then
GFI FAXmaker
must be installed on a separate machine (see fig
ure 3).
If you use an
SMTP/POP3 server
you
can
install
GFI FAXmaker
on the mail server
machine it self (See figure 4)
. This
however does not allow users to
send faxes directly from their
email
client.
If Active Directory
is in use
,
ensure
that the
email
a
ddress of each
GFI
FAXmaker
user
is provided
in Active Directory. If you don’t use Active
Directory you have to configure the name and email address of the
GFI FAXmaker
users.
How it works
on
the client
side
If
GFI FAXmaker
is configured
to retrieve faxes
via POP3, all faxes
sent by users from the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax Message form are sent via
the
email
client to the dedicated fax mailbox.
GFI FAXmaker
will
download the email, convert it to fax format and fax it. Then it will mail
6GFI FAXmaker
-
an overview
GFI FAXmaker 14.3 for Exchange/Lotus/SMTP
back a delivery report to the
user. The same principle is applied to
SMS messages.
If you have configured your mail server to forward all faxes via SMTP
to the separately installed
GFI FAXmaker
fax server, then all faxes
sent by users from the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax Message form will be sent
via the
email
client using the SMTP format
number@faxmaker.com
. If
the user wants to send a fax
from their email client, then
address the
email to
number@faxmaker.com
. The SMTP/POP3 mail server is
then configured to forward mails sent to the
faxmaker
.com
domain to
the
GFI FAXmaker
fax server via SMTP. The
GFI FAXmaker
fax
server receives the faxes via SMTP an
d using a sink captures the fax,
converts it to fax format and faxes it out. Then it will mail back a
delivery report to the user. The same principle
is applied to SMS
messages.
How
GFI FAXmaker
works with multiple mail servers
Figure
6-GFI FAXmaker
wi
th multiple mail servers
If you have a large network with multiple mail servers
that are
independent
from each other
, you can configure your mail servers to
forward faxes from all mail servers via SMTP (using the same
methods as described above for each ty
pe of mail server). This
enables
you to provide fax services to users on several mail servers
with a single
GFI FAXmaker
server.

If you have a small network and don’t run your own mail server or
have a hosted mail server setup, you can still deploy
GFI FAXmaker
.
You
however
need to install the IIS SMTP service on the
GFI
FAXmaker
server. The
GFI FAXmaker
client software will forward all
faxes directly to the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax server via SMTP.
The
GFI FAXmaker
fax server receives the faxes via SMTP
. Through
the u
ser of a
sink,the
fax
is captured, converted
it to fax format and
faxes out. The same principle is applied to SMS messages. Delivery
reports and inbound faxes will be forwarded to the user’s email
address at the ISP mail server. Because of the small size
of faxes
files and relatively small amount of email traffic created by
GFI
FAXmaker,
this will not pose a significant overhead on your internet
link.
How it works
on the
client
side
All faxes sent by users from the
GFI FAXmaker
client will be sent to
the S
MTP format
number
@faxmaker.com
. The
GFI FAXmaker
client
will know the name of the fax server machine and submit the fax
directly to the
GFI FAXmaker
server. The user
cannot
send a fax from
his
email
client.

printer’. This will convert the document to fax
format and activate the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax Message form in which a
fax number and other options can be specified
2.
Send directly from the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax Message form from the
GFI FAXmaker
program group.
3.
Open
an
email
client, create a new message, enter the text to
send, add attachments if needed and address the fax to
number@faxmaker.com
, or if the user is on Exchange Server, select
the recipient from the Microsoft Outlook Contacts.
4.
From any Micros
oft Office application, Use the Send To command,
which can be found in the file menu. This will attach the document
created to a new mail message after which the fax can be sent as per
option 3.

This can be changed
but you
at this point you
must specify at
least one fax user.
GFI FAXmaker
is licensed based on the number of users
that receive
or
send faxes. The procedure is different depending on whether you
have Active Directory or not:
If you have Active Directory
If you use Active Directory on your network (i.e. you have one or more
Windows Server 2000 machines or higher),
GFI
FAXmaker
will
connect to Active Directory and allow you to specify
GFI FAXmaker
users
and user based rules
. This is done by
select
ing users from
Active Directory
.
GFI FAXmaker relies
on the email address specified for each user in
active directory. If you
use Microsoft Exchange 2000
/2003
/2007
/2010
,
or any Active Directory integrated mai
l server (including Windows
2003
POP services)
this email address is automatically filled in
correctly.
NOTE:
If you use Exchange 5.5 or a non active directory integrated
mail server,
you are required
to
provide
a correct email address for
each user that you want to ‘fax
-
enable’ in the Email field of
the user
properties. This can be done from Active Directory Users and
Computers.

Installing clients
Introduction to the
GFI FAXmaker
client software
After installing the Fax server, you can alrea
dy send faxes by
addressing and
sending an email correctly.
I
f users
however are
required to
send faxes
by printing to the
GFI FAXmaker
printer driver
,
they must install the
GFI FAXmaker
client.
The
GFI FAXmaker
client software consists of a fax printer dr
iver, fax
viewer and the
optional
GFI FAXmaker
Fax message form. The
GFI
FAXmaker
Fax message form offers an easy way for users to specify
fax options.
During installation, you can choose whether the Outlook
New Message form should appear when the user pri
nts to the
GFI
FAXmaker
printer driver, or the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax message form.
The
GFI FAXmaker
Fax message form also retrieves the company
name of the recipient, so the cover page always has the company
name filled in. If using the Outlook new message form
, the company
name will only be filled in if the
GFI FAXmaker
fax server could
retrieve the company name of the recipient via a configured public
contact list.
The
GFI FAXmaker
Fax message form submits the fax via SMTP to
the
GFI FAXmaker

Configuring a fax line

A fax line is a physical telephone line and is linked to a fax device (i.e.
a modem
or an ISDN/fax
card). Since many fax devices support
multiple lines, and you probabl
y want to set different options per fax
line, you have to set up each fax line individually, and associate a fax
device to each line.
Fax lines are configured from the lines/devices node in the
GFI
FAXmaker
configuration program. Right
-
click on the ‘Lines/
Devices’
node and select properties to bring up the Lines/Devices dialog. This
dialog shows all installed fax lines and to which device they are
associated.

To add a fax line, click
Add
. The process of adding a fax line is
slightly different depending on whether the fax line is associated to an
ISDN card, a Brooktrout card
, XCAPI
or a fax modem.
Therefore the
process is described in separate paragraphs below. Line options and

select ‘ISDN BRI CAPI 2.0 devices’. If you have a 30 channel card
select ‘ISDN PRI CAPI 2.0 devices’.
3. In the Physical fax port box, select the channel/port of the device
that you want to use for this fax line.
For example, if you are using an ISDN BRI card, you can se
lect two
channels for each card.
If you want to use channel 1, select
ISDN1B1
.
If you want to use channel 2, select
ISDN1B2
. (If you are using more
than one ISDN card, you can select ISDN2B1 and ISD

Finding out the exact MSN numbers

A frequent error is that the MSN number on which
GFI FAXmaker
should answer is specified incorrectly. The exact MSN number tha
t
you should enter depends on the ISDN configuration. The best way to
determine the number that you need to enter is the following:
1.
Go to the
GFI FAXmaker
monitor node in the
GFI FAXmaker
configuration.
2.
Send a fax to
GFI
FAXmaker,
dialing the number
that you want
GFI
FAXmaker
to answer.
3.
In the FAX Server Monitor, take note of how the number is being
displayed.
4.
Enter this number in the Msn number list in the Device tab. After
you have entered the number and restarted the
GFI FAXmaker
fax
service/
application,
GFI FAXmaker
will now answer the call.
NOTE:
If you want
GFI FAXmaker
to answer a whole range of
numbers (for example, if you are using DID routing), just enter the
starting number of the range of numbers. For example: to instruct
GFI
FAXmaker
to answer all numbers 35922410 up to 35922419, enter
3592241.

the ability
to
determine the right recipient of an incoming fax.
GFI FAXmaker
supports several ways of achieving this
with each
method
having
its
advantages and disadvantag
es.
Generally
DID routing is
recommended
for larger installations,
while
MSN and Line routing
are
recommended
for smaller insta
llations.

DID routing (ISDN)

With DID routing your telecommunications provider allocates you a
range of virtual numbers, which w
ill allow individual
users/printers/public folders to have their own fax numbers, without
requiring a physical fax line for each. If you already have ISDN you
can choose to use available lines from your PBX. Upon answering the
fax call, the ISDN protocol w
ill pass the number on which the call is
being answered to
GFI FAXmaker
.
Ordering a new ISDN line
If you wish to use a new fax number range with
GFI FAXmaker
you
will need to contact your telecommunications provider to install an
ISDN service. You will ne
ed to let them know that you wish to use the
service for faxing, how many ISDN lines you want installed and how
large a range of numbers you wish to have assigned to service. The
telecommunications provider will then install a port (or a network
terminatio
n device depending on your region) at your location to
connect to the ISDN card in the
GFI FAXmaker
server.
NOTE:
One ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) consists of 2 ISDN
channels. i.e. 4BRI will give eight lines for faxing. One ISDN Primary
Rate Interface (
PRI) will give 24/30 lines depending on your region.
Using available ISDN lines behind a PBX
If you want to use numbers from an existing number range for routing
faxes to individual users
please contact your telecommunications
provider for an
‘s-bus extens
ion’ and a port for the ISDN card to be
configured as an ‘s
-
bus device’.
The
PABX
will then need to be
reconfigured
to present the DID numbers from the specified fax
number range to the
‘s-bus device’. Your PABX may require either
spare digital ports or an
expansion card for this capability.

NOTE:
Check with your
telecommunications provider
to ensure that
your
PABX
is
compatible with an ISDN fax solution before purchasing
any ISDN hardware. Sample PABX configurations can be found on
the
Cantata Technology
website (Knowledge
B
ase Article #1457).
Requirements for DID routing (ISDN):
A separate ISDN Line or s
pare ISDN extension
An active ISDN CAPI 2.0 card such as an EICON Server BRI
(approx. cost $300
-
$500).
DID routing (analog/digital)
If ISDN is not available in your area, a DID trunk
from your
telecommunications provider can also be used.
These are either
analog or digital, depending on your provider. You will be allocated a
range of virtual numbers, which will allow individual
users/printers/public folders to have their own fax numbers, without
requiring a physical fax line for each.
Ordering a new DID tr
unk
You can choose to order a new DID trunk, which you will dedicate to
GFI
FAXmaker.
This requires that you buy a DID card from
Cantata
Technology
.
Using extra DID lines via your PBX
If you already have a DID trunk for your PBX, you can choose to use
avai
lable lines from your PBX. Effectively you will configure your PBX
to ‘forward’ the DID number on which the call was received to
GFI
FAXmaker
via a DTMF tone.
NOTE:
DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) tones are the tones you
hear when you press a number on y
our phone. DTMF uses two tones
to represent each key on the touch pad. When any key is pressed, the
tone of the column and the tone of the row are generated, hence dual
tone. As an example, pressing the '5' button generates the tones
770Hz and 1336Hz. Thes
e tones are then recognized by the
hardware and passed on to
GFI FAXmaker
.
Requirements for DID routing (analog/digital):
A DID line with X amount of numbers or spare extensions on your
PBX.
If using a separate DID trunk: A Br
ooktrout TR114 TR 1034 DID
card
.If using DID lines from your PBX: any Brooktrout TR 114 or
TR
1034 card. Ensure that they support your PBX and that you have a

information contact
Cantata Technology
.
MSN
routing (ISDN only)
This m
ethod is similar to DID routing;
it
however
uses the available
MSN numbers instead of dedicated DID numbers (ISDN only). Each
ISDN line has 1 or more MSN numbers (usually 9) assigned to it. If
your ISDN line has 9 MSN numbers, yo
u can have 9 different routes
for a fax. The number of lines assigned to each ISDN line is different
for each telecommunications provider. Contact your
telecommunications provider for the exact number.
Requirements for DID routing (ISDN):
A separate ISDN L
ine with spare MSN numbers.
An active ISDN CAPI 2.0 card such as an EICON Server BRI
(approx. cost $300
-
$500).
OCR Routing
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) routing allows you to forward
incoming faxes depending on its text content. First the fax pages a
re
converted to text using OCR technology. Then the text is searched for
the user's first and last name and/or configurable text phrases. The
fax server will then forward the incoming fax to the respective user.
Requirements for OCR routing:
Separately dow
nloadable OCR module.
OCR license.
Line routing
Line routing allows you to assign a physical fax line to a user. For
example, if your office had 4 fax machines in each department prior to
purchase of
GFI
FAXmaker,
you could use those 4 fax lines with a 4
p
ort fax device to route the faxes to each department based on the
number on which it was received.
Requirements:
Two or more physical fax lines
.
Routing to a public folder or to an individual user
You can also choose to route to an individual’s mailbox or
a public
folder/shared mailbox. In this case, faxes are manually routed by a
single person or group of persons
.
CSID routing
CSID (Caller Sender Identification) routing relies on the FAX ID, which
each FAX machine/FAX card displays when sending a fax. Si
nce it
rarely changes, it can be used to identify the sender and thus the
corresponding recipient.
NOTE:
Use of this feature is no longer recommend
ed
and is provided
for backward
compatibility

NOTE 1:
T
he difference between a user that is a default router and a
user that is configured to receive all faxes is that the default router will
ONLY receive faxes that have not been
routed. For example, if you
use DID routing, but receive a fax on a DID number that is not set
-upin
GFI
FAXmaker,
then the default router will receive the fax. This
would be the case for a general fax line. Users specified in the
‘Receive all faxes’ tab
will receive ALL faxes, whether they have been
routed or not.
NOTE 2:
Use the

Using Backup2Folder to route to folder

You can specify that a fax received on a particular line or route is
backed up in a particular folder. If you wish to do t
his you have to
enable the Backup2Folder feature on a per
-
route basis by opening the
route's properties and selecting the Backup2Folder tab. For each
route you can specify the folder in which to backup the received fax
into, and the preferred file format f
or the attachment.
Screenshot
49-Setting up the Backup2Folder feature
Using this feature, each fax received will have a time
-
stamped file
name which is used f
or all backed
-
up files related to the particular
received fax. For example, if a fax is received and it satisfies two
routing rules which have different Backup2Folder destinations, the
same time
-
stamped file name is used in both folders. If a fax is
receiv
ed and it satisfies two routing rules which have the same
Backup2Folder destination, there will be no file duplicates of the same
fax in that particular folder.
NOTE:
This feature requires that the target folder can handle 'long file
names'. Hard
-
disk part
ition formats that handle long file names
include NTFS and
FAT32.

Configuring DID/DTMF Routing (ISDN/Analog/Digital)

For
DID/DTMF routing,
following the installation of
a suitable fax
device, you will need to:
1.
In the
GFI FAXmaker
configuration go to th
e Lines/Devices node.
Double
-
click on each installed fax line, go to the advanced tab and
enable the option to ‘Number of DID/MSN digits to capture’. The
number of digits should be set to the size of the range of numbers you
will be capturing. (I.e. For a
range of 0
-
99 you should capture two
digits. For a range of 0000
-
5000 you would capture 4 digits).
2.
Associate the DID numbers with the users. This is called a DID
route.
NOTE
1
:
Do not enable DTMF/DID routing unless you have a
DTMF/DID capable fax device
, otherwise the fax server will generate
an error while receiving.
NOTE
2
:
If you are using DTMF routing behind a PBX in combination
with a Brooktrout card, ensure that you have setup the Brooktrout
card correctly. Please visit the

option
Ma
tching ratio:
The matching ratio is the confidence that
GFI
FAXmaker
needs to have before matching the keyword or name to a
recipient. The recommended matching ratio is between 60 and 80%, it
should not be 100%.
The matching ratio is dependent on the qual
ity of the fax. If the fax is
of bad quality, OCR will not recognize all the letters on the fax. In this
case a lower matching ration is required; otherwise the fax will not be
routed. On the other hand, a low ratio may lead to faxes being
forwarded to use
rs who should not receive the fax. If the matching
ratio is too low, some words, which are similar to the phrases, will be
considered as being the phrases, e.g., with 60% ratio Jones and
Jonen will be considered to be the same.
Intelligently route faxes ba
sed on user's first and last names:
This option allows you to automatically route a fax if it finds a users
name in the fax. You don't have to configure the user
s names, since
GFI FAXmaker
will retrieve the user names from Active Directory or

Configuring Fax administrators

A Fax administrator is the person who moni
tors and manages the fax
server. If certain critical conditions occur, the fax administrator will be
notified by email. In the Fax administrator node you can specify one or
more fax administrators. To specify a fax administrator:
1. In the
GFI FAXmaker
con
figuration click on

click and select 'New administrator".
2.Select one or more users who will be fax administrators. Click

These users will now be notified of critical conditions in the fax server.
Dialing Op
tions
The dialing options allow you to configure ‘dialing intelligence’. This
way, you can set up
GFI FAXmaker
to accommodate multiple local
area codes and other special dialing procedures. It processes the fax
number in a structure
d manner and dials out in the correct format for
the phone system.
To configure the dialing logic, right
-
click on the
Advanced
D
ialing
node in the
GFI FAXmaker
configuration and select
P
roperties
.
The dialing logic is split into 2 parts: International dialing (country
code), and National Dialing for local area codes and exchange
settings.
Screenshot
74-Dialing options
GFI FAXmaker 14.3 for Exchange/Lotus/SMTP
Configuring Fax se
rver options

First, you must enter your country code and area code. The country
code must be entered without the dial prefix. The dial prefixes are the
numbers that are placed in
front of the country code when dialing an
international number. This may vary per country, but the most
common are 00 and 011.
It is important to remember that the dial prefix of a country is the
number the user in that country must dial to make an inter
national call
(sometimes defined as a + in front of the country code). The country
code is the number that the user in another country must dial in order
to call the country with that country code. For example, in the United
Kingdom the dial prefix is 00;
thus, to dial the United States (which
has 1 as its country code), the user must dial 001 and then the
number. In the United States, the dial prefix is 011, thus to dial the
United Kingdom (country code 44) the user must dial 01144 and then
the number.
Int
ernational dialing
In this section you must enter the settings for international dialing.
When the fax server detects a + in front of the number, this section is
used to modify the first part of the number. The user may select the
option to remove the coun
try code if it matches the one in the ‘Where
am I?’ section.
If this option is not selected, the country code will remain as is. If the
option is selected, it enables 2 other options. One is the option to
attach a prefix if the country code matches and is
removed. The other
is the option to replace the + with the international dial prefix when
selected.
This logic will allow you to use the following number notation in your
fax number entry:
+44-(020)
-
2282666
GFI FAXmaker
will then determine in which count
ry you are and if you
are in the same country,
GFI FAXmaker
will strip off the 44 and
optionally put a prefix in front of the number, for example 0.
If you are not in the same country,
GFI FAXmaker
can replace the +
with the international dialing prefix, f
or example 00 or 011.
National dialing
This option is especially important if you are based in North America.
Using this option you can enter your area code and ask
GFI
FAXmaker
to remove it if you are faxing to a number with the same
area code. In additio
n, you can add a prefix to the number. If the
number is not your local area code, you can set up
GFI FAXmaker
to
automatically add 1 as prefix.
NOTE:
The area code in the fax number must be included in round
parentheses. If this is not done, the fax serve
r cannot determine which
part of the number is the area code.

GFI FAXmaker 14.3 for Exchange/Lotus/SMTP

75-The dialing exceptions dialog
Exceptions
Because some dialin
g procedures can be very complex (Especially
those in the US), you can set up a number of exceptions, which can
for example handle multiple local area codes.
The Exceptions dialog allows you to specify the different area codes
and exchanges for each numbe
r. It allows you to remove the area
code and add a prefix if needed. Since one area code may have
hundreds of exchanges, to avoid entering a lot of numbers with the
same area codes and different exchanges, you may enter a wild card
(*) in the exchange sect
ion, which will handle all the related exchange
numbers. Thus if you enter area code 342 and exchange *, it will
process all the numbers starting with area code 342 (342 456, 342
123, 342 789…).
To add an exception
: Click on the
Exceptions
button, and
keyinthe
area code affected into the Area Code field.
If the settings pertain to a particular exchange within the area code
(i.e., the three digits of the phone number following the area code),
enter them into the Exchange field.
NOTE:
You can use commas to
add a delay between numbers if your
system requires it. Each comma represents approximately a two
second delay.
If the telephone number requires a prefix for distance dialing, for
example a 1, then check the box “Dial a prefix before the area code”
and en
ter the 1.
If you do not need to dial the area code for this number then check
the box “Do not dial the area code”.
Click on the
Add
to add it to the list of telephone entries.

Junk Fax filter

Screenshot
79-The junk fax filter options
GFI FAXmaker provides you with the
ability to
auto delete faxes from
certain senders. This junk fax filter works on the basis of the FAX ID
of the sender.
When you receive a junk fax, enter the senders FAX ID in the Junk
fax filter list. This will cause
GFI FAXmaker
to delete the fax
automatically, an
d not route it.
Most senders will rarely change a fax ID, especially if it
isprogrammed into a fax machine, and therefore it
s an easy and pretty
reliable way of eliminating future faxes from the sender.
To black list a fax sender/fax ID:
1. Right

You are provided with
2 opti
ons:
Delete faxes received from fax machines with an empty CSID:
If you wish to be very stringent you can refuse all faxes with empty
CSID's. Note that there is a big chance that valid faxes will be
marked as junk faxes.

This means that if you want to prevent certain users from making
international fax transmissions, you only need to insert the
international dial
