16.3 Fax Broadcasting
Method 1: Using Amanda Portal Station
Using Amanda Portal Station, users can send out a fax broadcast using the
“Queue Outbound Fax” icon, and the “Outbound Fax Admin” icon.
When queuing an outbound fax, the document being queued can either be in an
ASCII text file or tiff format. Documents in other formats can first be converted
to a tiff format and then queued to be sent out (Amanda Fax32 can be used to save
the file as a .tiff format and send it out, if you wish to convert the document to tiff
before sending it’s easiest to use method 2).
Queue Outbound Fax – Use this option to send outbound faxes to a list or an
individual fax number. This is similar to Amanda Fax32 except for its using
documents that have already been setup which have to be tiff or text files. Once
setup you use Queue Outbound Fax to send them out.
Outbound Fax Admin – Use this option to setup documents (tiff or text) to be sent
out using Queue Outbound Fax.
Method 2: Using Amanda Fax32
Use Amanda Fax 32 to print and fax out a document to a list of phone numbers.
You can specify a file that has a list of phone numbers.
If you want a cover page to be sent out, you insert text and it’s sent out with the
fax in the cover page text box.
When building a fax number list to be used by Amanda Portal to fax out, the file
must be text only. The format must be as follows:
{Name} {Number}
{John Smith} 860-422-3801
{Paul Jones} 203-720-8525
Etc.
Note: The name is used for reference only. Dashes are optional, their normally
used for improved readability but not required. Additionally, if you don’t want to
use a name reference as your first argument you can do the following:
{} 860-835-8765
