FaxRouter - installation and usage

The fax router enables by subtantial way to decrease the cost on faxing by sending the faxes over Internet to the place from where the sending the faxes away is cheaper.

Installation

Before installation be sure that:

"FaxChange" object in MS Exchange Server directory tree has primary (reply) SMTP address in form FaxChange-Gate-Mail@your.domain . It can be set in MS Exchange Administrator: your organization -> your site -> Configuration -> Connections -> FaxChange -> E-mail addresses -> SMTP (edit, "set as reply").
All FaxChange servers must be installed with different activation key. If you use one activation key for more servers, FaxRouter will not work. Use program umsInfo (Start menu -> FaxChange) to query "ID of installation" - it must be unique for any server.

Launch the installation program from CD from the folder faxchnge/i386/router/setup/. The installation is easy without the need with the full-details description. Only watch following:

Global and local change

The Router can be installed in some several countries. At every country are different currency in order to enable the charges of faxes that need to choose the global change at which the routers will be communicate between yourselves.

By every recalculation it is comming to the lost on the accuracy. So, if you have everywhere the same local currency, please , insert it as the global one and as the change rate insert 1. The prices are round on 1/100 to the global change therefore that is not good idea to give in Czech and Slowakia router network as the global change for example : the currency USD after that you will be working with the accuracy 30 hellers. That will be better to fix the global currency for example : USD/100.

The global changes must be the same on the all routers and the rate must be in accordance with the real rate.

Primary and seconary router

One router in network ( first the one installed ) must be chosen as primary. This one works as other routers only with one exception : by adding the new router is an administrator of the primary router has been asking on the adding the new router to network (t.m.without the permitting of an administrator of the first router is no adding router to network ).

There are necessary to set the other values more with the installation the other routers.

E -mail address of primary router ( only domain , no name of user ) The new router is connected on the address and obtained from the primary router the information about the whole network.
The identification number of the new installation of router. The identification numbers are distributed from the administrator of router network ( at ideal case by the administrator of router ). ID must be at the rage from 2 to 1000 and must be at the rage the whole of network unique! If there are two routers the same ID at network , the network will be falling down.

Turning router off

If you want to determinate for one fax that the routing is disabled , click at "possibility of sending" on the item "No routing for this fax".

If you want to turn off router absolutely:

Set in registry at the key HKLM/Software/Datasys/FaxChange/global/system/routed value "0" (without parentheses).
Stop and disable startup service FaxChange.Router.
Restart FaxChange.Server service.

Running router

So as to re-send the faxes by router rigthfully that is need to fix on the whole knots of network the charts of the prices of the long distance and internacional calls.These ones you can find on the item "long distance and internacional calls". The charts are setting rigthfully with the standard installation at rage of Czech Republic.

How to archive the faxes?

On the FaxChange where the fax was prepared to send ( next in the text : "on the local server" ) , the fax is archive according to setting at fxCfg. Behind the name is followed to the text "(R)", to the subject is connected by the text "(Routed via xxx.yyy.cz, lc=ccc)" t.m. the information over which router the fax was sending and how much was costed its sending from the local server . The real price for sending is enrolled to the item Price.

On the server where the fax is really sending away ( next in the text "on remote server" ) , the fax never archives the content of fax and the accuracy information about the Sender. At dependancy on the setting at fxCfg is here archived either only the record about fax or nothing is archived. As the Sender is enrolled "* Router ", costcode is "R-"( this is for a good work with the information about the prices of routed faxes at fxCostM. To the subject is writes "(Routed from xxx.yyy.cz, local ID=)" - the information about the sending router and about ID of fax on the local server ( for example : for better seeking at database ).

What is the security of faxes?

The administrator of FaxChange on the remote side can not manipulate with routed fax by fxQueue. He can not look into in no case. Nevertheless the administrator has the access into the folder fax/out/ and can view the faxes which where saving there. ( at the whole time )
