Configuring the fax address format

For fax connectors, you must define the fax address format required by your fax server application or Internet fax service. A sample format is shown below:

You configure the fax address format in the Fax Address Format window. The following table shows the location of the window for each fax connector:

Connector

Window Access

Fax via Microsoft Exchange

From the connector Wizard or on the Fax format tab of the Fax via Exchange Properties window.

Fax via SMTP

From the connector Wizard or on the Fax format tab of the Fax via SMTP Properties window.

To configure the fax address format

  1. Open the Fax address format window.
  2. Refer to the documentation for your fax application to obtain the correct format for fax addresses.
  3. Start building the address by adding components.

    For example, to include a prefix, select Prefix from the list on the left and then click Add.

  4. To change the order of the fax address components, select a component and then click Move up or Move down.
  5. For each component, perform the following tasks:
    • Select the Value field (for example, Prefix value).
    • Click Modify.

      The Modify value window opens.

    • Enter the appropriate prefix value.
  6. Click OK. The completed string appears in the Fax address format window.
  7. When you finish building the fax address, click OK to close the window.

Because fax application vendors change fax formatting schemes frequently, make sure you obtain the current format.
