2. Now select your device type. Select the Brooktrout entry with the number of lines that your card has.

3. In the Physical line/port box, select the channel/port that you want to use for this fax line. For example, if you are using a 2 line card, you can select two channels for each card. If you want to use channel 1, select `Brooktrout channel 1 (BROOKTROUT1)'.

4. The device/line properties dialog appears. Now select the Brooktrout card that you are using in the Card type list box.

5. Select the correct `Line Capabilities' option for your card. For ISDN DID fax routing choose DID/ISDN. For Analogue DTMF routing choose DTMF.

6. If you plan to use fax routing to route faxes individual users based on the DID number go to the Advanced tab and tick the `Number of DTMF/DID digits to capture checkbox. The number of digits should be set to the size of the range of numbers you will be capturing. (i.e. For a range of 0-99 you should capture two digits. For a range of 0000-5000 you would capture 4 digits). Click OK.

7. You can configure `Line options' and `Advanced options' from the Line options and Advanced tabs. A description of these options can be found further on in this manual. Click OK to add the line.

8. You should then add any additional lines you wish to use with GFI FAXmaker to the Lines/Devices configuration.

I After making any changes to the FAXmaker Lines/Devices configuration make sure to restart the FAXmaker FAX Server service for the changes to take effect. Then Check the Fax Server Monitor to make sure that the lines have been initialized.
