1.5.2.1 The NET SatisFAXtion Server
The NET SatisFAXtion Fax Server is a dedicated server platform configured
running Windows 2003 or Windows 2008 and NET SatisFAXtion server
software. Typically, this server will also contain one or more fax boards or use
existing Voice Over IP (VoIP) equipment on the network such as AudioCodes
hardware.
The fax server manages the following activities:
Outbound fax delivery – Manages the delivery of faxes from two or more fax
ports per server. When all fax ports are busy, the fax server monitors each port
and delivers the next job to the first available line.
Inbound fax routing – Determines recipient of incoming fax based on
Administrator’s choice of fax routing methods and delivers that fax to the
intended recipient’s inbox.
Fax activity logging – Logs the details of inbound and outbound fax activities.
Allows the Report utility to log in and extract up-to-the-minute data for activity
reports.
Real-time status feedback – Allows users to view real-time status of incoming
and outgoing faxes at their desktop workstations. NET SatisFAXtion’s software
even allows you to view the real-time status of every fax port on the server.
1.5.2.2
The Administration Utility
NET SatisFAXtion makes it simple to manage your entire fax services from any
workstation in your enterprise. The NET SatisFAXtion Administration utility offers
a complete package of fax server management features in a single user
interface. The application can be run from any workstation logged into the NET
SatisFAXtion server, giving administrators unparalleled information and control.
At least one client/user needs to have Administration capabilities. This person
will handle routing, monitoring port activity, adding/changing/deleting users and
groups, reporting, etc.
Depending on the password rights associated with each network user, NET
SatisFAXtion offers different levels of administrative control. Thus, network
administrators can provide department heads and MIS managers with a view of
fax server activity or reporting functions without actually granting the rights to
change system parameters or user information.
