About Fax Overflow
A Fax Overflow mailbox is a mailbox for your fax machine. If the fax machine
cannot answer an incoming fax call, Norstar Voice Mail answers the call and
temporarily stores the Fax messages in the Fax Overflow mailbox. Later, when the
fax machine is ready to print, Norstar Voice Mail will send the stored Fax messages
to the fax machine.
If Norstar Voice Mail cannot send the Fax messages on the first attempt, it will
attempt to send the documents several more times. The number of times Norstar
Voice Mail will attempt to send the Fax message is called the retry attempts. The
number of retry attempts can be any number between one and 99. Between each of
these retries, Norstar Voice Mail will wait a specified amount of time called the
retry interval. The retry interval can be from one to 60 minutes.
A Fax Overflow mailbox may be assigned to any Norstar port to which a fax
machine is connected.
Fax System Group message (Fax Broadcast)
A Fax System Group message can be sent whenever you want to notify a group, by
way of a fax, of a pending event or company notice that only pertains to that group.
A Fax System Group List is a collection of fax machines from other locations.
When you send a Fax message to a Fax System Group List, each fax machine in the
Fax System Group List receives the same Fax message. You should publish a list
of fax machines in each Fax System Group List. Each mailbox owner will then
know which fax machines will receive the Fax System Group message.
