Supported Environments
GS Fax PRO is fully integrated into your SMTP e-mail network. It allows e-mail users to send and receive fax as easily as they send
e-mails. Users create messages to be faxed in exactly the same way they send an e-mail message. The message including any attached files is routed through the e-mail system to the GS Fax PRO Server for transmission.
The fax server converts the e-mail message into a fax image, prepares the appropriate cover page and delivers the fax. Users are automatically sent a delivery report, including: the delivery date and time,
number dialed, number of pages transmitted and call duration.

By utilizing the e-mail network infrastructure, GS Fax PRO is able to deliver additional
benefits, including: least cost routing, storing fax recipients in mail directories, shared mailing lists and distribution lists containing e-mail, Internet and fax users. Additionally GS Fax PRO
can automatically deliver inbound faxes into users’ mailboxes.
Fax Reception into Mailboxes GS Fax PRO offers several ways to deal with incoming faxes: automatic printing, delivery to pre determined e-mail addresses or automatic delivery of
incoming fax directly to a user’s mailbox.

If your organization uses a programmable telephone switch or ISDN-2, it is possible to
configure GS Fax PRO to deliver the incoming fax to an e-mail address or a network printer associated with the number dialed. This feature, known as DID (Direct Inward Dialing) or
DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency), is extremely powerful for the automatic distribution of facsimile messages.
E-mail Server Connection GS Fax PRO connects to the e-mail server as a regular e-mail user via POP3 or IMAP4, looking for new messages delivered sent by users. When a new
message arrives at the GS Fax PRO mailbox for sending, the fax server (s) takes it, converts it into a fax image, process the transmission and delivers the transaction receipt back to the
sender via an e-mail message.
Web Monitoring Users and administrators can view the status of the fax server and fax queues using a standard Web browser.
