Fax Mail Configuration Steps 297

Configuring Fax Ports and Fax Station Numbers

Configure each fax port, setting how the port is used to answer or dial calls. Use a combination of fax port settings to

meet the needs of the organization. For example, dedicate a fax port to sending faxes, receiving faxes, or both. How

the fax ports are configured depends on how often the ports are used to deliver fax mail and how often the ports must

support incoming fax traffic.
