Module - Fax Server

This module lets you send faxes from MS Word on local stations.

Local Stations

The fax server appears on local stations as the network printer called FaxPrinter. You can send faxes from MS Word 97.

Setting:

Printer installation: The first necessary thing is to install a new network printer in Windows. You can find it on Network neighbourhood under the computer named ibox as the printer called FaxPrinter. If this computer cannot be found in the Network neighbourhood it is necessary to search for it out by clicking Start in the main Windows bar. Choose Find computer which can be searched in accordance with its name (ibox) or its IP address (the default setting 10.0.0.1). For installation choose a postscript printer from the list. It is necessary to choose the printer Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS.

MS Word: For adding a Fax menu into MS Word the original file Normal.dot must be replaced with a file you find on

http://central.ibox.cz/download/Others/normal.dot
or on the installation CD-ROM in the directory "/iBOX/Others" and in the parent directory of the user admin.

Use: Not checking this means the Fax Server will not be used (the printer FaxPrinter will not be available)!

Choice type: In accordance with your telephone line choose the Pulse or Tone dialling.

Prefix: The dial prefix for calling to the public telephone network (in case your faxmodem is behind your telephone exchange).

Sender phone number: Your telephone number.

Fax Sending:

Start the application MS Word and open or create a document you wish to fax. Choose Fax/Send in the menu. A window will be displayed containing the text fields: telephone number, recipient number and e-mail.

Fax number: Enter the recipient fax number. Write the fax number in this field with any dial prefix separated by "," (comma). By clicking the "Send fax" button the document will be sent. You will get information on its status via e-mail.

E-mail: Fill in the e-mail address where you want sending status information to be sent.

You can also send fax using the www interface at http://ibox.local/fax or through e-mail to fax@ibox.local with a fax number in subject. Do not use diacritic when sending fax this way!
