Configuring fax general properties

To configure fax for a voice mail domain, use the Fax - Voice Mail Domain dialog box.

To display the Fax - Voice Mail Domain dialog box:

In the Voice Mail System Configuration window, click the voice mail domain.

Double-click Fax.

The system displays the Fax - Voice Mail Domain dialog box, which has only one tab, the General tab.

To configure general fax properties:

Configure the following fields in the Voice Mail Domain dialog box, General tab:

Fax Enable Select to enable Fax. This check box is cleared by default.

Use third party fax support This button is automatically turned on if your message store is an Exchange or Lotus Domino server.

Hunt Group Pilot Number Enter the telephone number for the fax server’s hunt group, for the fax server that is to receive incoming fax calls. Include any required telephone prefix, such as the country code or area code.


Notes: The hunt group can contain destination ports on different fax servers. The hunt group pilot number can map to multiple fax servers only if the fax servers support the same fax server address type.

Address Type Enter the address type used by the fax server, such as Fax or FACSys. If you do not know what this should be, contact your fax vendor to find out.

Canonical Addressing Select if your fax servers support canonical addressing. Canonical addressing specifies the full fax telephone number for the voice mail domain, for use by the telephone user interface. When a subscriber wants to send a fax, the system will prompt for these outgoing numbers or allow alternative entries as an aid to addressing. The canonical address also allows the system to prevent unnecessary toll calls if the receiver of the fax uses the same country code or area code as the sender.

The canonical address includes the country code and area code, in other words:

+CountryCode [(AreaCode)] SubscriberNumber

For example:

+1 (408) 345 8000

If you enable canonical addressing, you must specify a default country code and area code for this voice mail domain.
