FaxPress Server Overview

FaxPress offers a scalable product line that ranges from an entry-level, single-line unit to a high-end, 8-line server. As fax demand grows, additional fax servers can be added to the network without having to replace existing units. One of the benefits of FaxPress is its ability to load share automatically between multiple units.

All FaxPress fax servers are similar in their operation but differ in their capacity and configuration. All FaxPress servers with software version 6.x and higher can operate in heterogeneous multi-protocol environments. They can also concurrently support both TCP/IP and IPX/SPX protocols. All models have the ability to function in Novell NetWare, Microsoft Windows NT/2000 and Linux environments.

FaxPress supports the following Network Operating Systems:

•Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 (TCP/IP)

•Microsoft Windows NT/2000 Terminal Server

•Novell NetWare 3.x/4.x/5.x NDS and Bindery mode (IPX/SPX)

•Novell NetWare 5.0 pure IP mode (TCP/IP)

•Linux (RedHat Linux 6.0 with Samba 2.0.3) (TCP/IP)

FaxPress acts as a server on the network, which provides client workstations with access to incoming and outgoing faxes, phonebooks, transaction logs and other fax-related data. FaxPress supports users from multiple file servers. Users from any file server can communicate with FaxPress as long as their network administrator has designated them as a FaxPress user.

The FaxPress product line offers units that are compatible with Ethernet networks. FaxPress supports various network frame types including:

•IEEE 802.3 & 802.2

•IEEE 802.2 SNAP

•8137 Ethernet II
