If you use ISDN or Brooktrout cards
NOTE: If you use ISDN or Brooktrout fax cards, ensure that you have
properly installed the cards first. You will have to configure the fax
lines manually. Click ‘Configure lines’ and configure the fax line(s).

Step 3: Specifying the fax administrator & users
After you have installed and configured the fax devices you have to
specify the fax users (you can change this later but you must specify
at least one fax user now). 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), FAXmaker will connect to
Active Directory and allow you to specify FAXmaker users and user
based rules by selecting users from Active Directory, rather then using
its own user database. This greatly reduces user administration.
GFI FAXmaker will rely on the email address specified for each user in
active directory. If you use Microsoft Exchange 2000/2003, or any
Active Directory integrated mail server (including Windows 2003 POP
services) this email address is automatically filled in correctly. If you
use Exchange 5.5 or a non active directory integrated mail server,
then you have to enter 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.
