Setting Fax properties

NOTE: Before you can set up Fax properties you must enable the Fax keycode on Element Manager and assign voice channels to Fax in Element Manager. See the BCM Administration Guide for details.

  1. Click the Configuration heading.

  2. Click the Fax Properties link.
    The Fax Properties page appears.

  3. In the System Extension box type the extension of your main fax machine.

    If the Auto Attendant detects an incoming fax transmission, it transfers the call to this extension. Equip this extension with an Analog Terminal Adapter (ATA) to connect to a fax machine. Leave the System Fax Extension blank if you do not want this functionality.

    The System Fax Extension parameter is available even if no Fax options are installed at your site. The other parameters are available only if you have installed the corresponding Fax options.

     

  4. In the System Name box type the system name. The system name can be a maximum of 16 characters. You can use your main fax number as the System Name.

  5. In the Number of Retries box type the maximum number of attempts made to print or forward faxes to an external fax number. The default is 3, range 0-99.

  6. In the Retry Interval box type the retry interval. It is number of minutes to wait between retries. The default is 10. The range is 1-60.

  7. If you want to use a custom cover page, in the Load Cover Page From box type the location of the file you want to use or click the Browse button and navigate to it.

    You can select Default Cover Page if you do not want to use a custom cover page, or No Cover Page if you do not want to use a cover page.
