Step 1: Setting up a Fax database in Lotus Notes

In order to be able to use FAXmaker with Lotus notes you must set up a Notes mailbox which will be used by FAXmaker to receive faxes which FAXmaker must send out. This mailbox must be dedicated to FAXmaker. To do this in Lotus Notes, you must first create a database for the mailbox and then set up the mailbox. To create the database you need to do the following:

Creating a Notes Fax database

  1. In the Notes Workspace select 'File'->'Database'->'New'. The New database dialog will now pop up.
  2. In the server field select 'local'
  3. Set the Title to 'FAXmaker'.
  4. The file name should display a path to the FAXmaker database file to be created
  5. The template server option must be set to 'local' and the template selected must be Mail (R5.0).
  6. Click on OK. The database is now created and shown on the Workspace.
  7. Right click on the database just created on the Workspace and select 'Access Control'.
  8. Ensure that manager rights with the option delete document enabled have been given to the database.
