  8. At this stage, the user is able to view the controllers set on the Bintec router device.

  9. Clicking the Test button would verify the connection between the Remote CAPI client and the CAPI device connected on the CAPI server.

 

Configuring GFI FaxMaker to use Remote CAPI client

GFI FaxMaker uses Remote CAPI client to treat the ISDN port found on the Bintec router media gateway as if it is virtually connected to the same machine.

Follow these steps to configure the GFI FaxMaker to use Remote CAPI Client: 

  1. Open the GFI FaxMaker Configuration and proceed to Lines\Devices > Properties.

  2. Add a new Gateway devices Device type line.

  3. Choose Bintec R4100 (here as an example) entry as ISDN type.
