Outbound Approval Setup

If you want to use any, some or all of the outbound approval options, you must check the ‘Enable Outbound Approval’ box here.

Approvers

The ‘Approvers’ section allows you to add users who are able to allow faxes to be sent out. By default, the Admin account is here.

Add

Click on the Add link to add the selected user from the drop-down list to the list of those who can approve outbound faxes.

Approved Fax Numbers

The approved fax numbers section is for adding phone numbers or portions of phone numbers that are always approved. Numbers added in this section will bypass the checks of the Approved Users section.

Add

Click on the Add link to add a phone number or add a portion of a phone number with the asterisk (*) wildcard to allow for variants (i.e. digits that follow an approved area code or local prefix).

Clicking the Add link will create an empty text field in this section where you can add the phone number, then click the Save button at the bottom of the page to confirm it.

Approved Users

The Approved Users section lists users that can send faxes without needing to be approved. By default, the admin account is entered here. Click on the Add link to add more exempt users.

Add

Clicking on the Add link will create another drop-down list box where you can select the user from the entire list of users entered in the FF240-IP unit. When you have added all the users that you want added to the approved list, click the Save button at the bottom of the page to ensure your entries are not lost.

Reminders

Reminders in the form of an email message will be sent to all users listed in the ‘Approvers’ section at the top of the section. By default, three time intervals are listed: 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 1440 minutes. Click on the Add link to add more times or the Remove link to delete times.

Add

Click on the Add link to create a new text box for entering a time (in minutes) for the FF240-IP to send an email reminder to all Approved users.

Outbound Approval Report

If you want reports of the approved faxes to be sent to the ‘Approvers’, check the ‘Enabled’ box here. Select the format that you want the report sent as from the drop-down list. Both .csv and .xml formats are available, with CSV being the default selection.

The table at the bottom allows you to customize the frequency in which the report is generated and sent out. This is the same style as used in the Fax Log purge.
