before VSI-FAX installation. If you received the Brooktrout fax board directly from the manufacturer, please disregard
the driver software shipped with the boards. You must use the Brooktrout driver provided with Esker Platform for a
successful installation.

TR1034 or TruFax fax boards, you have to follow these steps:

allowing better integration in Windows environment (TR1034 Series, Trufax Series). Follow the Found New
Hardware Wizard to install the Plug and Play fax board driver provided with VSI-FAX. For details, refer to

new version before upgrading the server itself. The update procedure is described in Installing the Plug and
Play driver for TR1034, TruFax boards (page 10).
