Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. FaxFinder Admin User Guide 51
Administration Screen Field Definitions Field Name Values Description IP Configuration Fields IP Address n.n.n.n
for n = 0-255
The IP address of the fax server.
Subnet Mask n.n.n.n
for n = 0-255
This subnet mask is the subnet for the network to which
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
for n = 0-255
The IP address of a local DNS server.
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
for n = 0-255
Address used to route data out of the immediate
network.
Secondary Name Server n.n.n.n
for n = 0-255
The IP address of a backup DNS server, which is
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
SMTP Server The active server will be automatically switched to the
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
for n = 0-255
This field is used to set the ‘From’ email address on
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
for n = 0-255
Domain name or IP address for mail server (SMTP
must be supported on mail server).
SMTP Port 0 – 65535 (default:
25)
The IP port on which the SMTP server is listening.
