2.2.1 Additional Port Configuration

2.2.1.1 Send/Receive Only Ports

Sometimes it is useful to reserve certain fax ports for sending only or receiving only. One example would

be a server that does a high volume of outbound, still has inbound needs, and inbound callers frequently

get busy signals. The solution would be to reserve some ports for inbound traffic thereby reducing the

chances of busy signals.

Ports can be configured as send only or receive only in the ‘Change Server Settings’ utility, located at

Start

⇨ Programs ⇨ NET SatisFAXtion ⇨ Change Server Settings. Click on the ‘Fax Hardware Settings’

button. Here you will see a list of configured ports.

Select a port and you can enable and disable send and receive capabilities using the Allow port to...

⇨

Send Faxes, Receive Faxes checkboxes at the bottom of the window.

Brooktrout TR1034

Configured ports on Brooktrout TR1034 cards (and recent models of TruFax 100 and 200 cards)

will not show up in Change Server Settings. Configuration must be done in the registry. Under

[HKLM\Software\FaxBack\ICANFax] you will find one key per port. Look for keys named similarly

to BOS_02_001. Under each key will be a mode string value, this controls whether a port can

send or receive.

[HKLM\Software\FaxBack\ICANFax\]

"mode" = "fax_in,fax_out"

Set the mode to reflect how you want the port configured. To only send faxes, set "mode" =

"fax_out". To only receive faxes, set "mode" = "fax_in". To disable the port, set "mode" = ""

(i.e. remove the value from mode).

Manually restart the NET SatisFAXtion service after making any changes to the registry.

2.2.1.2 CSID and TSID

Called Subscriber Identifier (CSID) and Transmit Subscriber Identifier (TSID) are how the fax server and

other fax machines identify each other. When a fax is sent or received, one of the first things that

happens is the called fax sends its CSID, and then the calling fax sends its TSID.
