Fax Machine Integration Server Installation Guide — Page 3

System Requirements

The FMIS software must be installed on a machine that will be running whenever the attached fax machine will be used It is

recommended the machine be a server rather than a workstation so that the FMIS service runs at all times The ATA and the FMIS

software should be on the same 100Mbit or Gigabit Ethernet LAN because the T 30 fax protocol is relatively intolerant of latency

IMPORTANT: The Fax Machine Client cannot run on the NET SatisFAXtion Fax Server since it requires the standard SIP

UDP port 5060, as well as an instance of the IP_FAX driver

32-bit Microsoft Operating System:

Windows XP Professional SP2 or SP3

Windows Vista SP1 Home, Business, Enterprise or Ultimate

Windows Server 2003 SP1 or SP2

Windows Server 2008

Software Requirements:

Microsoft Installer 3 1

Microsoft NET Framework 2 0 SP1

Microsoft NET Framework 3 0 SP1

Microsoft NET Framework 3 5 SP1

AudioCodes MP202 is recommended

Before you Begin

This guide assumes you have the NET SatisFAXtion Fax Server installed and functioning properly If you wish to receive

inbound faxes to your fax machines, it also assumes DID collection is functioning properly

Each fax machine in the network is uniquely identified by a NET SatisFAXtion user account, a DID, an ATA IP address and

a physical ATA FXS port Please print and fill out the Fax Machine Configuration Worksheet found at the end of this document, it

will ensure you have all the necessary information readily available

Here is an explanation of each part of the worksheet, and how you can determine the information

NET SatisFAXtion Server Domain: This is the internal domain name that uniquely identifies your fax server Typically this

is

\\NETSATISFAXTION\SERVERNAME

, where

SERVERNAME

is the fax server’s machine name Note that this must be in ALL

CAPS, lower case or mixed case will not work If you are unsure what this is, run the Administration program on the fax server The

login dialog will display the Server Domain at the bottom of the window, labeled “Server:”

NET SatisFAXtion URL: This is the HTTP URL by which the FMIS will communicate with the fax server Enter a domain

name or IP address that can be reached from the FMIS machine You can test this by entering the full URL in a web browser on the

FMIS machine You should see a web page that says “The URL http:// is an XML interface that client applications use to access

this server ”

Number of DID Digits: The number of digits of DID/DNIS you are receiving on inbound calls This is typically 4, 5 or 10

digits If you are unsure of the number of digits, please contact your service provider or PBX administrator, depending on how calls

are reaching the fax server The number of digits you configure for the DIDs below will be determined by the number of digits you

receive

Fax Machine Integration Server IP Address: Enter the IP address of the machine you will be installing the FMIS software on

User Name: The unique user name that you will create and associate with the fax machine

DID: The phone number that will be assigned to the fax machine Only enter the same number of digits you receive on inbound

calls If you do not need to receive faxes on the fax machines (send only), it is safe to simply invent a number The range reserved for

invented numbers in North America (NANP) is 5550100 – 5550199

ATA IP Address: The static IP address that will be assigned to the ATA the fax machine will be connected to

ATA FXS Port: The physical jack the fax machine will be connected to
