FAXCOM Anywhere for SMTP

The SMTP Fax Gateway enables your users to send and receive faxes just as easily as they send and receive email messages. Users can launch a new mail message, attach documents in their native file format and address the email message to fax and email recipients. Fax messages can also be initiated from within an application by printing to the Biscom Fax Printer. Completion status messages indicating success or failure of each fax job, with detailed explanations, are returned to your users as mail messages. Messages can be addressed manually using the standard T.37 addressing syntax, or addresses can be retrieved from Outlook Contacts using the Outlook client extensions' component.

Received faxes are delivered to users as email messages. Users can receive the fax as a TIFF, PDF, or Searchable PDF attachment, or they can receive an email message alerting them of a received fax and providing them with a UNC location where they can retrieve the fax.

Features:

• Enables users to perform fax functions from their familiar email client
• No client software required
• Provides centralized administration via the Microsoft Management Console (MMC)
• Enabled you to take advantage of the integration with Active Directory - without being required to extend the schema
• No separate fax user list required
• Applications can submit faxes programmatically via SMTP

Directory Integration

The SMTP Fax Gateway is a component of the FAXCOM Suite for Windows application. FAXCOM Suite for Windows works with any LDAP-compatible directory service - without requiring any extensions to your schema - including, Active Directory (AD), Exchange 5.5, Domino, Netscape, and NDS. Because it is fully integrated with Active Directory, any user for whom an account exists in AD can send and receive faxes without the requirement that you maintain a separate fax service user list. You can then create policies that further refine fax service user behavior.

MMC Snap-In

Administrators can use the familiar Microsoft administration tool to configure all aspects of the SMTP Fax Gateway.
