Using Messaging, you can receive incoming faxes through the inbound (native) fax and third-party methods. Follow these instructions if your organization plans to provide fax capabilities to users.
Important If your deployment includes more than one server in the application role, only enable fax for the first server in the site. You can administer the servers for subsequent application roles by backing up the first application role and then restoring the data on to the server for the subsequent application role. See the Initial administration checklist for application roles for information about which procedures are to be done manually on the server and which are done automatically through the backup and restore process.
Before you begin
If you are administering the first or the only application role, you must first complete the procedure for Integrating with the telephony server.
Your IT network must include a fax server.
Procedure
- On the Administration menu, click .
- Enter the appropriate information in the Fax field.
- Click Apply.
Next Steps
If you are administering the first (or the only) application role for a site, see Configuring languages.
If you are administering additional application servers that support the same site as the first server, see Restoring application files.
