Fax from Outlook & Exchange 2010, 2007 & 2003
Fax-enable 2010, 2007 or 2003 Exchange Server and Outlook Clients
- Send and receive faxes right from your desk
- Save fax recipients in your Address Books/Contact Lists
- Build one fax with attachments from multiple applications
To integrate the FAXCOM® fax server or hosted fax service with Exchange Server 2010/2007/2003 and Outlook clients, you run Exchange Management Console and create an SMTP Send Connector that routes mail to the Biscom SMTP Fax Gateway computer. The SMTP Gateway is a component of Biscom’s FAXCOM Suite for Windows application, which is installed as a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) administrative desktop.
You can run the FAXCOM console either as a standalone console, or added as a snap-in to your MMC, enabling you to administer network fax services with the same interface with which you administer other network services and users.
Benefits of FAXCOM for Exchange Server
For the Fax Service Administrator:
- Integrate with Active Directory without any requirement to extend the schema
- Manage fax service user permissions and behavior through AD Group Policy
- Administer a worldwide distributed network of fax applications and users from one centralized MMC-based desktop
- Eliminate the need to maintain a separate list of fax service users
For the Client User:
- Receive faxes directly into the Inbox, or as an eMail message with a link to a location from which to retrieve the fax
- Capability to use the optional Fax Extensions for Outlook utility, which enables easier fax recipient addressing and transmission option configuration
- Capability to preview an outgoing fax before sending
- Optional access to the fax service Pending Queue, whereby the user can select his/her own jobs in the queue and make last minute changes to their transmission status and destination fax number
