68 • Configuring Fax routing GFI FAXmaker for Exchange/SMTP Manual
fax number range to the ‘s-bus device’. Your PABX may require either
spare digital ports or an expansion card for this capability.
FAXmaker configured for DID behind a PABX
, Check with your telephone technicians to ensure that the PABX
will be compatible with an ISDN fax solution before purchasing any
ISDN hardware. Sample PABX configurations can be found on the
Cantata Technology website (Knowledge Base Article #1457).
Requirements for DID routing (ISDN):
• A separate ISDN Line or spare 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, it is possible to order a DID trunk
from your telecommunications provider. 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 trunk
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
available 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.
, DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) tones are the tones you hear
when you press a number on your 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. These 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.
