Identifier used by FaxFinder when interfacing with mail

 

 

 

server. FaxFinder uses mail server to send call reports

 

 

 

to administrator. Some email servers require

 

 

 

authentication when accessed for this purpose. To

 

 

 

satisfy this authentication requirement (where needed), a

 

 

 

User ID must be specified for the FaxFinder unit. Leave

 

 

 

this field blank if authentication is not needed.

email attempt fails, the FaxFinder re-queues the

 

 

 

message and automatically switches to the server that is

received faxes are sent when the primary email service

 

 

 

is interrupted.
