fax addressing prefix
Uniquely identifies a particular fax nodepoint to the Lucent I
NTUITY system. Used by the system
as a “template” to differentiate all call-delivery machines on the network from each other.
fax endpoint
Any device capable of receiving fax calls. Fax endpoints include fax machines, individual PC fax
modems, fax ports on LAN fax servers, and ports on fax-enabled messaging systems.
fax print destination prefix
A dial string that the Lucent I
