Glossary
Terminology and Functions
G
Fax Transfer
The fax function of the PBX supports fax transfer in combination with a corresponding PC appli-
cation. The required Auerswald Fax printer driver has to be installed on the PC used and the
fax transfer function has to be purchased and activated in the Upgrade Center.
The outgoing fax is saved on the storage medium for the used fax box and the fax transfer is
controlled with the corresponding fax ID in the background by the PBX. If the destination of the
fax cannot be reached (busy or no reply), two further dial-up attempts will automatically be
made by the PBX.
Firmware
Firmware is the operating software on the telephone or PBX that is stored in the device itself.
The device cannot function without firmware.
Firmware Update
When firmware is updated, errors are corrected or new features are installed. To do this, the
device establishes a connection to a server in order to download the most current firmware (the
device settings remain intact). Except for the charges for the required server connection, the
update is free of charge.
G
Gateway
A gateway is a PC or router that is used as an intermediary between two (different) networks.
The Internet service provider is the gateway for direct Internet dial-up connections. If you use
a router, this is the gateway in a local network.
