CHAPTER 5 Faximum Messaging Gateway
The Faximum Messaging Software can be installed in two ways:
For more information on these alternatives, please see "Faximum Messaging Software" on page 54.
When you install the FMS package, it will automatically detect whether or not there is already a Faximum PLUS or Client/Server system in place and will configure itself appropriately. The only additional work required is to set the FMG-specific parameters in the faximum.conf configuration file.
FMG-Specific Configuration Parameters
As you are no doubt aware, every fax request that is sent to a Faximum PLUS or Client/Server must have an account, class of service, and style specified. With the Faximum Messaging Gateway this can be done explicitly (see the next section) or by default. In order that email messages that do not specify these parameters are successfully sent, you must specify in the faximum.conf file the default values for these parameters.
Please edit the faximum.conf file and add three lines of the form:
swiift-efg-account = Default
swiift-efg-class = Default
swiift-efg-style = Default
Please change the right hand side to the appropriate value for your system.
Specifying Parameters
In order to allow FMG users complete control on how their messages are handled by the system, it is possible to specify in an email message the values for the account, class of service, and style databases (thus overriding the defaults set in the faximum.conf file as described above).
There are two methods. One can set the parameters in the email address itself or one can specify the parameters in the headers of the email message. For example, one could compose an email message addressed to:
Jane/ACME_Company/style=invoice/FAX=9268182@fax.company.com
which would cause the style called "invoice" to be used for this fax request.
Alternatively, one could place the following email header in the message:
x-fxm-style=invoice
Similarly one can use either of the above techniques to specify the account or class.
