Download Manual

1. Install GFI FAXmaker on the fax server machine (which will require
the IIS SMTP service to be installed). The fax server software and a
sink for the IIS SMTP service will be automatically installed.
2. Run the GFI FAXmaker set-up again this time on the Exchange
server. This will create a standard SMTP connector, which will forward
fax requests to the GFI FAXmaker fax server. Alternately, you can
create an Exchange SMTP connector manually as described in ‘The
Exchange 2000/2003 SMTP connector’ chapter.
To install GFI FAXmaker on a dedicated machine (i.e. machine which
is not running MS Exchange Server software) in an environment
where email services are handled through Exchange Server
2007/2010:
1. Install GFI FAXmaker on the target machine.
2. On your Exchange Server 2007/2010 manually setup the ‘Send’
and ‘Receive’ connectors which will relay fax queries to GFI
FAXmaker. For more information on how to achieve this refer to ‘The
Exchange 2007/2010 connectors’ chapter.
Installing GFI FAXmaker on a dedicated machine retains Microsoft
Exchange Server standard setup - no changes to active directory are
made and no custom software will be running on Exchange server.
How it works at the client side
All faxes sent by users from the GFI FAXmaker Fax Message form or
the New Message form of Microsoft Outlook are sent via Microsoft
Outlook using the MAPI format [FAX:<number>]. The standard SMTP
connector (which is created by GFI FAXmaker during set-up and is a
completely standard Exchange connector) forwards the faxes via
SMTP to the GFI FAXmaker Fax server.
How GFI FAXmaker works with Exchange 5.5
Figure 3 - GFI FAXmaker installed on a dedicated machine if using Exchange Server 5.5
GFI FAXmaker should be installed on a dedicated machine in
installations where Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 is being used. This
dedicated machine must be running Windows 2000 or higher and the
GFI FAXmaker 14.3 for Exchange/Lotus/SMTP
