The eMS Fax Server is software and fax cards giving a central facility for fax messages to be sent from to/from e-mail clients, network scanners and business applications. The server can be a single system, or can be a multi-server cluster for resilience and additional throughput.

Messages and attached files are converted to fax format and sent out over fax lines connected directly to the server. Alternatively, the faxes can be sent and received using Fax-over-IP technology. Transmission management is handled by the server software, and a transmission report is returned to the originator.

The Fax Server software can also handle incoming faxes and send them to internal mailboxes or printers, and can interact with business applications and databases for both incoming and outgoing traffic.

The server software provides the ability for e-mail users to send faxes in the form of an e-mail message with attached files. E-mail systems supported include Lotus Notes, Microsoft Exchange, Novell GroupWise, or any SMTP product. Standard e-mail address lists can be used for broadcasting faxes. Cover pages can be added to faxes automatically, and can be personalised for each user. Sending a fax is simply a case of sending an e-mail. Senders can optionally receive transmission reports.

Attachment handling

Files attached to an e-mail, or included with an application routing file, are automatically converted to fax format. Most Windows file formats are supported.

Any business application can send faxes by ‘dropping’ a document and a simple instruction file into a directory. Alternatively, a print queue to a business application printer can be ‘intercepted’, and the documents either printed, faxed or e-mailed according to parameters within the document body.

Network scanners can send faxes directly by ‘dropping’ images to a directory polled by the Fax Server, or by using the e-mail capability of the scanner. Cover pages can be added, and transmission reports returned to the scanner user’s mailbox.

A cover page can be automatically added to each fax by the server software. Company logos and letterhead can be included, along with dynamic insertion of sender and receiver information.

Inbound faxes can be routed directly to user mailboxes, printers or file folders. Routing can be decided by the dialled number (DDI), or the line used. Faxes are forwarded in tiff or pdf format.

Brooktrout/Dialogic fax cards can be installed in the computer running the server software, and can be in any combination of PSTN, Basic Rate ISDN or Primary Rate ISDN. Alternatively the Brooktrout SR140 Fax-over-IP software can be utilised. Each server can support up to 60 channels.

Fax traffic handling

All fax traffic queuing and retry management is handled by the server software. Full traffic logs are kept, and statistics can be produced for service charging. Archive copies of all faxes sent and/or received can be kept if required.

An eMS Fax Server on your network allows you to fully integrate fax with document handling and archiving, network scanner management, e-mail, business applications. The software also gives complete central administration, and control of costs. Our Fax Server software also offers Text Messaging capability.
