Configuring Fax lines

Configuring a fax line

A fax line is a physical telephone line and is linked to a fax device (i.e. a modem or an ISDN/fax card). Since many fax devices support multiple lines, and you probably want to set different options per fax line, you have to set up each fax line individually, and associate a fax device to each line.

Fax lines are configured from the lines/devices node in the GFI FAXmaker configuration program. Right-click on the ‘Lines/Devices’ node and select properties to bring up the Lines/Devices dialog. This dialog shows all installed fax lines and to which device they are associated.

To add a fax line, click Add. The process of adding a fax line is slightly different depending on whether the fax line is associated to an ISDN card, a Brooktrout card or a fax modem. Therefore the process is described in separate paragraphs below. Line options and Advanced options are identical for each fax line, independent of what fax device you are using and these are described at the end of this chapter.
