Creating An Internet Routing Table - Captaris FaxPress Supplementary Manual

Admin Guide > Internet Faxing
When CIF for outgoing fax is enabled, a CIF routing table is created. When using FaxPress
to set up CIF, there are several parameters that can be configured.

Creating an Internet Routing Table

To use internet faxing, you must establish an association between the fax telephone
number and the remote FaxPress server's IP address by creating an Internet routing table.
On the transmission side, FaxPress will use the routing table to identify the correct
destination IP address of the receiving FaxPress. It uses the fax number provided by the
fax job initiator to locate the matching IP address in the routing table. The routing table is
sorted based on fax number. FaxPress should never get the wrong IP address.
When your FaxPress server sends a fax, it will use the lookup table to determine whether
to use a phone line or the internet. When it receives an internet fax, a FaxPress server will
process the fax normally, but if the FaxPress server sees an external number, the FaxPress
server will automatically use its phone lines to forward the fax to its final destination.
The routing table allows the FaxPress server to know when to use internet faxing and when
to just use its own phone lines, by associating remote fax numbers with remote FaxPress
servers.
The routing table allows a local FaxPress server to use a remote unit to:
Fax all faxes addressed to another country
Fax all faxes addressed to another area code within a country
Fax all faxes addressed to a specific fax number prefix within a country and an area
code
Fax all faxes addressed to a specific fax number
You can also configure your CIF to resend the fax over a local phone line if
acknowledgment is not received from the remote FaxPress server within a specified time
period.
To add a new Internet routing table, follow these steps.
1. Login to FaxPress as Administrator and expand the Administration branch.
2. Rightclick on Internet Fax and select Add.
3. In the Captaris Internet Fax dialog, enter the remote server's information:
FaxPress IP Address — In the FaxPress IP Address field, enter the IP address
assigned to the remote FaxPress server.
