The General TAB contains the following options:

Administrator

An administrator is required for receiving “administrator” type mail from the Mail Gateway.

•	Enter the Administrator’s "mail address", e.g. Jane Doe

•	Use the drop down Menu to select the Administrator’s Mail type e.g. Lotus Notes.

Unroutable Received Message Recipient

•	Enter the mail address of the user to receive all unrouted faxes (defaults to the Administrator if left blank).

•	Use the drop down menu to select the Mail Type.

•	N.B.  In a mixed Connector/ Mail Gateway Site, this field can be configured as Mail Type Exchange CN to make the Connector responsible for routing unroutable received messages.

Queue Directory

The path you entered during the installation is displayed by default.  You should not need to change this entry.

The queue directory contains the following files necessary for Mail Gateway operation:

pending.dbf	pending messages

complete.dbf	completed outgoing messages

receive.dbf	all received messages

FGUser.dbf	Faxgate user database

•	Use the Browse button to locate the correct queue directory path if the display is incorrect.

•	N.B.  If this value is incorrect, the FAX Server will not communicate within the Mail Gateway.

Default Cover Page

This specifies the default cover page path and file name for outgoing messages.  This default is over-ridden by a cover page specified in the user database or by the message address option “COV=”.  The specified path is used to locate the cover page specified by the “COV=” option.

•	Use the Browse button to locate the path and file name of the default cover page.

•	To disable a default Cover Page leave this blank.

Enable Sending

By default the Mail Gateway is enabled to poll the FAX mail box (at a specified interval) for outgoing FAX messages.

•	To disable Sending, de-select this box.

Enable Receiving

By default the Mail Gateway is enabled to poll the Incoming queue(s) (at a specified interval) for routing received FAX messages into Notes.

•	To disable Receiving, de-select this box.

Enable Notifications

By default the Mail Gateway is enabled to poll the Complete queue(s) (at a specified interval) for message notification purposes.  If Notifications are disabled, mail messages will be sent, but a result notification cannot be mailed to the originator.

•	To disable Notifications, de-select this box.

Enable MailForward

The MailForward option allows messages to be forwarded into mail from a dbase file (pending.dbf).  For example, messages submitted via MMAPI can be sent as a fax or as a mail message.  Tick this box to enable polling of MailForward queue(s) at the specified interval.  The directory for the MailForward queue(s) is specified on the appropriate Mail’s TAB in the MailForward Queue Path field.

Start Service / Stop Service

•	Enables Starting and Stopping of the Mail Gateway Service.

Logging

Log Queue Access Errors	Deselect this box if queue access errors are NOT to be logged in the NT Event Log.

Log Send Operation	Deselect this box if detailed events in the send module are NOT to be logged in the NT Event Log.

Log Receive Operation	Deselect this box if detailed events in the receive module are NOT to be logged in the NT Event Log.

Log Notifications Operation	Deselect this box if detailed events in the notification module are NOT to be logged in the NT Event Log.

Log MailForward Operation	Select this box if detailed events in the routing module are to be logged in the NT Event Log.

•	N.B. After a period of successful operation it is recommended that Send, Receive and Notifications logging are disabled.


Options TAB

The Options TAB contains the following options:

Interval Options (seconds)

This determines the time interval (in seconds) between each poll.  Each of the 4 polling options has a separate interval.  Poll time may be 1 to 300 seconds, the default setting is 5 seconds.

The Send and Receive modules extract one message per poll and the Notification module extracts all waiting results per poll.  The MailForward module extracts one message per poll.

Create Distribution List

By the default the Mail Gateway sends a distribution list (as part of the body message) on the Cover Page for multiple destination messages.

•	To disable sending of a Distribution List de-select this box.

FAX Notifications

By default the Mail Gateway sends a result notification back to the author for all messages regardless of success or failure.  This default can be over-ridden by the fax address flag “NOTIFY=” when sending a message.

•	To notify on failed messages only, select “on Failure”

•	To disable all notifications, select “Never”

Return FAX in notification

By default the Mail Gateway will include a copy of the transmitted TIFF file in the Message Notification mail message.  The default setting is “Always” which will return the TIFF file with sent and failed notifications.  The other options are On Success (include TIFF file for sent messages only), On Failure (include TIFF file for failed messages only) or select Never to disable this feature.

•	Choose the required setting if the default of Always is not required.

Routing

The Mail Gateway automatically delivers incoming faxes to the user’s inbox as an attachment, where they can be viewed, printed or routed to another user.

The user can be configured as a mail client, Faxgate Windows client, a fax machine, printer, or an API.  Routing can be determined according to received indial digits (DID), DTMF digits, received CSID or received Line Number.  For detailed information refer to the Auto Routing section in the Reference Manual.

CSID Dbase routing file

Enables CSID routing for incoming faxes.  See the Auto Routing section in the Reference Manual.

•	Use the Browse button to locate the path and file name of the CSID database e.g. f:\fax\FGCSID.dbf.

•	N.B.  CSID routing instructions can be part of the Lotus Notes Fax user database if enabled.

Line Number Dbase routing file

Enables Line Number routing for incoming faxes.  See the Auto Routing section in the Reference Manual.

•	Use the Browse button to locate the path and file name of the Line Number database e.g. f:\fax\FGLine.dbf.

•	N.B.  Line Number routing instructions can be part of the Lotus Notes Fax user database, if enabled.


Archiving TAB

The Archiving TAB enables optional archiving for all sent, received and routed messages.  The Mail Gateway simply mails a copy of the same message which is routed to the intended mail user to a separate mail box which can be used as an audit trail for messages being sent and received in an organization.  This archiving is additional to any archiving the FAX Server may be configured for.

Notification Archiving

Tick the Archive Notification Messages option to save a copy of all outgoing notification messages. To archive a copy of the sent TIFF file, the “Return Fax in Notification” option must be correctly configured in the Options TAB.  Enter the mail address and mail type to be used for Notification Archiving.

User Date - Receive

•	ROUTING DIGITS

Routing digits to automatically deliver incoming messages.  May be blank (no incoming routing will occur).


FAX Viewer

16bit and 32bit FAX Viewers are supplied to enable users to display received faxes.  Each user will require access to this FAX Viewer, unless they have a preferred TIFF viewer already installed.  The FAX Viewer can be called from the Mail Gateway application directory or copied locally.  If copying the application locally, ensure all files are copied from the appropriate directory.

FAXVIEW for Windows 3.11:

[MG appsdir]\faxvue16\faxvue16.exe

FAXVIEW for Windows 95, NT3.51 or later:

[MG appsdir]\faxvue32\faxvue32.exe

File Associations are automatically updated for .TIF files when FAXVIEW is run the first time.


MS Mail TAB

The MS Mail TAB contains the following options;

Enabled

•	Select this box to enable the Mail Gateway for MS Mail.

Mail Profile Name

If using Windows Messaging or Exchange clients, then this is the name of the Windows Messaging Profile Name for fax.

Mail Profile Password

•	Enter the password for the Windows Messaging Profile Name.

MailForward Queue Path

•	If MailForward is enabled, enter the Directory containing pending.dbf for MS Mail destinations.

•	N.B.   PENDING.DBF  and COMPLETE.DBF  must be manually created by copying SEND.DBH from the FAX Server application directory.


Lotus Notes TAB

The Lotus Notes TAB contains the following options:

Enabled

•	Select this box to enable the Mail Gateway for Lotus Notes.

Body Text is ASCII

By default the message text will be printed as Rich Text for all messages.

•	To print message text in ASCII format select this box.

Use Received FAX Form

By default the received TIFF file is sent to the destination mail user.  To avoid overloading the Notes databases, the TIFF file can be sent as a “pointer” instead of the actual image file.  This requires use of a customized Received FAX Form.  It also requires that all users have read access to the drive where the received files are stored.

•	To send a pointer rather than the image file, tick this option.

Mail Database

This is the path and filename of the Notes Mail database created during Notes setup. Note: this path is relative to the data directory on the Notes Server.

In the case where the Mail Gateway is running on a Notes Client workstation, Faxgate Mail gateway will use the Notes client to connect to the Notes server, and then use this path to find the mail database.

•	N.B.   To specify a mail database on another Notes server, the full path can be specified, e.g.

NotesServer/Organization!!mail\FAX

User Database

You may choose to create a Notes database of FAX users rather than use the dbase file, FGUser.dbf.  This will allow customization of the fax user administration.  A sample file is supplied in the Mail Gateway application directory, faxuser.nsf.  If using this database, copy the file onto the Notes Server.

Leave this field blank if using FGUser.dbf or enter  the path and filename of the Notes User database as copied to the Notes Server.  Note: this path is relative to the Notes directory on the Notes Server and should not include any drive letters, Notes Server names or the Notes directory itself, e.g. mail/faxuser.

•	N.B.   To specify a user database on another Notes server, the full path can be specified, e.g.

NotesServer/Organization!!mail\faxuser

Notes DLL Path

The Mail Gateway needs to know the location of the Notes DLL files.  This is usually the local Notes directory (e.g. c:\notes), however may be a shared network directory.  Following are the Notes DLL’s loaded by the Mail Gateway:

nxrtf.dll

nnotes.dll

Use the Browse button to locate the Notes DLL path e.g. c:\notes

MailForward Queue Path

If MailForward is enabled, enter the Directory containing pending.dbf for Lotus Notes destinations.

•	N.B.   PENDING.DBF and COMPLETE.DBF must be manually created by copying SEND.DBH from the FAX Server application directory.


Lotus Notes Customization

faxuser.nsf is supplied as a sample containing a Lotus Notes user database and sample FAX forms for sending/receiving messages.

User database

If a Lotus Notes fax user database has been configured in MGAdmin, all user and routing information is first checked against this database.  If no match is found, the standard Faxgate user database (FGUser.dbf) and optional CSID and Line Number databases are validated against.

Following are the field names used by the Mail Gateway in the Lotus Notes fax user database:

USER_TYPE	identifies the Faxgate client for which you are registering the user.

Following are the valid user types:

CC	cc:Mail

MS	MS Mail

MC	Macintosh client

WC	Windows client

DC	DOS client

LN	Lotus Notes

GW	GroupWise

SM	HP Open Mail or SMTP

SO	SAP or Sockets

CN	Exchange Connector

FX	Fax machine (receive only)

DB	Dbase file (receive only)

AF	ASCII comma delimited file and TIFF file (receive only)

PR	Printer (receive only)

USER_ID	Uniquely identifies a user for outgoing or incoming fax processing, i.e.

•	mail address for Mail Gateway clients

•	private fax directory for Faxgate Clients

•	fax number for the User Type fax

•	path and filename for the User Type dbase file

•	path only for UserType AF

•	exact printer name for UserType PR

Send fields:

SENDER_1

SENDER_2	FROM names used on the cover page and queue management displays.

ACCOUNT	Account code for this user (using in reporting).

COVER_FILE	Default cover page template (path and filename) for this user.

SEND_CSID	The CSID used by the fax card during call hand shaking for messages sent by the user (defaults to FAX Server’s specified CSID if left blank).

HEADER	The  string sent in the page header (defaults to license name or addressee’s name if left blank).  Maximum 20 characters.

Receive fields:

R_DIGITS	Routing digits used to automatically deliver received messages. If multiple strings of routing digits are to be routed to this user, he must be registered multiple times.

RECV_CSID	Used for CSID routing - all received messages with a matching recv_csid will be routed to this user.  If multiple CSIDs are to be routed to this user, he must be registered multiple times.  A message will not be routed based on CSID if it has already matched on r_digits.

RX_LINE	Used for line based routing - all messages received on this line number will be routed to this user.  If multiple line numbers are to be routed to this user, he must be registered multiple times.  A message will not be routed based on received line if it has already matched on r_digits or CSID.

FAX Forms

Receive

To receive a pointer rather than an image file, you must be configured to use a Received FAX form.  A sample is supplied in faxuser.nsf.  This must be customised with the path and name of the FAX Viewer and can be further enhanced to do local file copying.

Send

You can send a fax from the standard Lotus Notes memo form with fax addressing in the TO: field, as documented in the Faxgate Lotus Notes user manual.  This method allows multiple destinations to be defined as well as various combinations of transmission data to be assembled on a per fax basis. The "To:" and "CC:" fields of a form are used to obtain information for each fax to be sent and the information may differ for each destination.  See the Faxgate Lotus Notes User Guide for details of sending a fax using the Lotus Notes memo form.

Alternatively you can create a customised FAX form for installation on each workstation.  A sample form is supplied in faxuser.nsf in the Mail Gateway application directory.  To process the form, it MUST exist in the FAX database – either by manually copying or via Design – Refresh.

Notes Forms used to submit faxes may contain the following data fields which are mapped to the corresponding fields in the pending database:

PRI_DEST	Primary fax number (40 characters)

ALT_DEST	Alternative fax number  (40 characters)

SENDER_1	FROM text on cover page - line 1 (50 characters)

SENDER_2	FROM text on cover page - line 2 (50 characters)

SEND_TO_1	TO text on cover page - line 1 (50 characters)

SEND_TO_2	TO text on cover page - line 2 (50 characters)

COVER_FILE	Cover page template - if no path specified, file must exist in the default cover page directory, as specified by MGAdmin.

ACCOUNT	Account code (for reporting)

PRIORITY	Urgent priority

DEFERRED	Deferred to default off peak period

DEF_DATE	Deferred to specified date (max. 7 days ahead), format = YYYYMMDD

DEF_TIME	Deferred to specified time, format = HHMMSS

NOTIFY	Notification flag (A=All, F=Failed Only, N=None)

HEADER	Page header string

SEND_CSID	CSID (customer subscriber identification) to be used

An additional field controls rendering of the bodyfield or form.

RenderBody  0	Mail Gateway will render the body field as ASCII if body text exists.

RenderBody  1	Mail Gateway will always render body field as Rich Text (default for MEMO).

RenderBody  2	Mail Gateway will render whole form as .rtf (default for all FORMS except MEMO).

MACROS/AGENTS can be easily developed in order to maintain maximum security, dependent on the site configuration.  The basis of the fax form is still the standard memo form, however the developer may wish to hide the "To" and "CC" fields. As a minimum the "To" field needs the fax mail box address specified in one of the recipient fields("To","CC","BCC"). The Mail Gateway special FAX form handling is triggered by the PRI_DEST field containing a value.


cc:Mail TAB

The cc:Mail TAB contains the following options;

Enabled

•	Select this box to enable the Mail Gateway for cc:Mail.

Mail User Name

Enter the Fax Post Office Name you created during the cc:Mail configuration for the Mail Gateway, e.g. FAX.

The SMTP TAB contains the following options;

Enabled

•	Select this box to enable the Mail Gateway for HP Open Mail using SMTP.

SMTP Mail Server Name

•	Enter the Server name of the primary Unix host.  This is used as a “Gateway” host for all received faxes and message results being sent to the host via SMTP.

SMTP Pickup Directory

The Mail Gateway needs to know the location of the SMTP directory, e.g. c:\smtp.  This is the location of the .822 files which have been received from SMTP and decoded ready for submission to the FAX Server.  These files are deleted immediately after processing unless debug is enabled where another copy is stored permanently in the debug directory.

•	Use the Browse button to change the SMTP directory.

API Queue Path

Not applicable for HP Open Mail

MailForward Queue Path

•	If MailForward is enabled, enter the Directory containing pending.dbf for HP Open Mail destinations.

•	N.B.  PENDING.DBF and COMPLETE.DBF must be manually created by copying SEND.DBH from the FAX Server application directory.

SMTP Debug Level

Log SMTP Events	Writes SMTP events into the Event Log.

Log SMTP Files	Saves a copy of every incoming SMTP message in a Debug directory of the SMTP directory.  These files are not purged and are useful for troubleshooting message problems.  The files are saved as *.tmp and can be renamed to *.822 and moved to the SMTP directory for retransmission


SMTP / Internet Mail SMTP TAB

The SMTP TAB contains the following options for SMTP/Internet Mail;

Enabled

•	Select this box to enable the Mail Gateway for SMTP.

SMTP Mail Server Name

•	Enter the Server name of the SMTP host to be used as a gateway for all received faxes and message results being sent to the host via SMTP.

•	Use the Browse button to change the SMTP directory.

API Queue Path

The SMTP interface supports text messages with embedded MMAPI formatting, enabling multiple fax messages to be submitted via the one mail message.  This requires MMAPI to be installed.

Leave blank if not using MMAPI for SMTP messages or enter the MMAPI pickup directory.  The SMTP interface will copy the contents of the whole mail message into this directory for processing by MMAPI.  In this case, notifications are mailed back to the user specified by the API commands, not to the original SMTP address.

MailForward Queue Path

•	If MailForward is enabled, enter the Directory containing pending.dbf for SMTP destinations.

•	N.B.  PENDING.DBF and COMPLETE.DBF must be manually created by copying SEND.DBH from the FAX Server application directory.

SMTP Debug Level

Log SMTP Files	Saves a copy of every incoming SMTP message in a Debug directory of the SMTP directory.  These files are not purged and are useful for troubleshooting message problems.  The files are saved as *.tmp and can be renamed to *.822 and moved to the SMTP directory for retransmission


UNIX API

The UNIX API comprises a Fax script which encodes mail attachments and uses /bin/mail to send the message via SMTP.  The Unix mail program spools and retries messages if the remote FAX Server is unavailable.  The Fax script is not required if files are pre-encoded and mail is used to submit the message.  Alternatively you can use a mail package which automatically encodes prior to sending via SMTP, e.g. HP Open Mail.  The FAX Server supports MIME decoding and uudecode.

To automate the sending of faxes from any application, the Fax script can be used.  The contents of the fax message must be written into one or more files, e.g. .txt attachments or Windows attachments like Excel and Word.  The filename should have a meaningful extension in case File Associations is required for conversion, e.g. letter.doc.  It is the responsibility of the UNIX application to name all files such that they are compatible with DOS file naming and so that they will be unique over a reasonable time period (such as one day) on the FAX Server.  Common strategies are to use the day of the month and the time of day, or an incrementing counter (generating names such as 19113205.txt or 19000123.txt).

The Fax script has the following parameters:

-h	FAX Server Host name (compulsory), e.g.

-h NTFAXSYD

-a	fax address field (compulsory), e.g.

-a  “Jane Doe@Teubner & Associates@99554616”

To submit an MMAPI message via SMTP, enter the fax address as “API”, e.g.

-a API

See the SMTP user manual for further details of fax addressing.   Quotes are required if any spaces are contained in the string.

-s	subject field - useful for subsequent result notifications, but also optionally used on the cover sheet, e.g.

-s “Specifications you required”

If the subject contains spaces, quotes are required.

-u	user id field, i.e. the mail FROM: data - the user’s complete mail address if not the sending id, i.e. the SMTP address to be used for notification, e.g.

-u Debra@Host1

All other parameters are the filenames to be sent.  Filenames should include the full UNIX path and each filename is separated by a space.  The Fax script will encode each file prior to mailing.  The script returns an error if any file does not exist or cannot be encoded.

An example command line is as follows:

/usr/local/Fax/Fax -h SYDNTFAX -a 99554616 -s “Test Fax” /usr/local/Fax/demo.doc

Script Installation Prerequisites

The following information is required before installation.

•	The Unix account name to install the software as.

•	The password to this account.

•	The fax number of a fax machine you can send a test fax to.

•	The name of the NT FAX server machine.

In addition, the following will be required:

•	The directory /usr/local/Fax must be created, with permission for  the above Unix user account to write files into that directory.

Script Installation

The Unix script files need to be located on the Unix system in their own directory (usually “/usr/local/Fax”).

The installation files can be transferred from the FAX Server using ftp:

•	In the DOS window, switch to the drive containing the Unix script files.

•	Type “ftp <name of unix machine>”

•	Use the username of the Unix account retrieved as a prerequisite.

•	Enter the password for that account.

•	Type “lcd Fax”

•	Type “cd /usr/local/Fax”

•	Type “bin”

•	Type “prompt”

•	Type “mput *”

•	Type “bye”

Log onto the Unix system using the above Unix account name and password:

•	Type “cd /usr/local/Fax”

•	Type “chmod 755 *” (or “chmod +x *” if the previous command didn’t work).

Installation is now complete.

Script Installation Test

Log into the unix system using the installation Unix account name and password.

Run the command :

/usr/local/Fax/Fax -h <name of NT FAX Server>  -a <fax number> /usr/local/Fax/demo.doc

The fax should be received at the given fax number. It should be identical to the file A:\Fax\demo.doc on the distribution floppy.
