The DM Fax Server for SMTP provides seamless email-to-fax and fax-to-email integration for SMTP email servers and clients.
Users can compose and send faxes right from their email client, through web-based email access, or using any program, i.e. Microsoft Office. Creating a fax is the same as creating an email, right down to attachments. Users may also print-to-fax when using Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes email clients. Fax cover pages are added automatically by the DM Fax Server so users will not have to waste time preparing them any longer.
Faxes received by the DM Fax Server can be routed to users (mailboxes) via email. When a fax is received, the DM Fax Server sends it via email as a PDF or TIFF attachment. You can customize the inbound fax email message to include any text that you want, plus CSID of sender, page count, date/time of receipt, and a host of other information fields.
The DM Fax Server for SMTP offers a number of methods for inbound fax routing. You can route all faxes to a single or shared mailbox, or route automatically to individual users. DM Fax Server can route faxes based on DID/DNIS, DTMF, OCR, CSID, inbound fax line, and a host of other routing criteria. Additionally, you can also route faxes to printers, network folders, and databases. More.
The DM Fax Server for SMTP is not limited to desktop faxing. If you have applications that are presently email-enabled, you can easily fax-enable them as well. Because faxes are sent in the same manner as emails, integrating with applications via SMTP is transparent and simple to configure. Furthermore, this integration is platform independent - fax-enable applications running on Windows and UNIX/LINUX, as well as web-based applications.
The DM Fax Server includes a main MMC-based administration console for centralized administration of the entire fax server system. Here, the fax server system administrator can manage inbound and outbound fax routing rules, main system services, view logs, configure LDAP integrations, and more.
The DM Fax Server integrates tightly with main network directories - Microsoft Active Directory, Lotus Domino Directory, and Novell NDS/eDirectory. This allows you to keep user management centralized - there are no user accounts to create or manage on the DM Fax Server. Assignment of fax DID numbers can also be done through your main network directory. This direct integration centralizes user administration, eliminates the need for separate user management on the fax server, eliminates synchronization between the fax server and the network directory, speeds deployment, and ultimately translates into lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
The DM Fax Server includes an LDAP/Data Connector that pulls information from Active Directory, Domino Directory, and Novell NDS/eDirectory and dynamically places it onto fax cover sheets during job processing. LDAP connectivity is also used for assigning fax cover pages based on your directory user and group structures.
