Fields

 

 

 

IP Address

 

n.n.n.n

 

The IP address of the fax server.

 

 

 

for n = 0-255

 

 

 

Subnet Mask

 

n.n.n.n

 

This subnet mask is the subnet for the network to which

 

 

 

for n = 0-255

 

the fax server is connected. A subnet mask is used in

 

 

 

 

 

conjunction with the IP address to determine if a data

 

 

 

 

 

destination is on the same immediate network or not (in

 

 

 

 

 

the case of networks made of hubs and ethernet cards).

 

 

 

 

 

The default value, often used, is 255.255.255.0.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Name Server

 

n.n.n.n

 

The IP address of a local DNS server.

 

 

 

for n = 0-255

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Host name

alphanumeric

 

Supplies a fully qualified domain name (fqdn) for the

 

 

 

 

 

FaxFinder Server when it accesses an email server to

 

 

 

 

 

send email. Some email servers require an fqdn on the

 

 

 

 

 

EHLO command at the beginning of the SMTP email

 

 

 

 

 

communication. The model name of the FaxFinder is

 

 

 

 

 

the default. Also see the SMTP Configuration section

 

 

 

 

 

on setting an email address for the FaxFInder.

 

Default Gateway Name

 

n.n.n.n

 

Address used to route data out of the immediate

 

 

 

for n = 0-255

 

network.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Secondary Name Server

 

n.n.n.n

 

The IP address of a backup DNS server, which is

 

 

 

for n = 0-255

 

typically at a separate location. A “Secondary Name

 

 

 

 

 

Server” may be considered optional, but, in any case,

 

 

 

 

 

do not leave any invalid value in this field.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Update (button)

 

 

Click on this button to make changes to IP

 

 

 

 

Configuration fields take effect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

SMTP Configuration Fields

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Active Email Server

 

Primary -or- Backup

 

The active server will be automatically switched to the

 

 

SMTP Server

 

 

 

 

 

backup email server if an error occurs when an attempt

 

 

 

 

 

is made to send an email. The active server will toggle

 

 

 

 

 

between primary and backup servers depending on

 

 

 

 

 

errors during email transmissions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FaxFinder Email Address

 

n.n.n.n

 

This field is used to set the ‘From’ email address on

 

 

 

for n = 0-255

 

emails sent by the FaxFinder. If the field is left blank,

 

 

 

 

 

the email address of the administrator is used. This field

 

 

 

 

 

can also be set to a no_reply@yoursite.com email

 

 

 

 

 

address to prevent recipients of an email from replying

 

 

 

 

 

directly to the administrator. This field along with the

 

 

 

 

 

hostname field in IP Configuration can be used to

 

 

 

 

 

identify emails as coming from the FaxFinder, instead of

 

 

 

 

 

the Administrator email account. See the IP

 

 

 

 

 

Configuration Hostname section for setting the

 

 

 

 

 

hostname along with this field for sending email from

 

 

 

 

 

the FaxFinder.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SMTP Server Address

 

n.n.n.n

 

Domain name or IP address for mail server (SMTP

 

 

 

for n = 0-255

 

must be supported on mail server).

 

SMTP Port

 

0 – 65535 (default:

 

The IP port on which the SMTP server is listening.

 

 

25)
