Fax Machine Integration Server Installation Guide — Page 3
System Requirements
The FMIS software must be installed on a machine that will be running whenever the attached fax machine will be used It is
recommended the machine be a server rather than a workstation so that the FMIS service runs at all times The ATA and the FMIS
software should be on the same 100Mbit or Gigabit Ethernet LAN because the T 30 fax protocol is relatively intolerant of latency
IMPORTANT: The Fax Machine Client cannot run on the NET SatisFAXtion Fax Server since it requires the standard SIP
UDP port 5060, as well as an instance of the IP_FAX driver

Before you Begin
This guide assumes you have the NET SatisFAXtion Fax Server installed and functioning properly If you wish to receive
inbound faxes to your fax machines, it also assumes DID collection is functioning properly
Each fax machine in the network is uniquely identified by a NET SatisFAXtion user account, a DID, an ATA IP address and
a physical ATA FXS port Please print and fill out the Fax Machine Configuration Worksheet found at the end of this document, it
will ensure you have all the necessary information readily available
Here is an explanation of each part of the worksheet, and how you can determine the information
NET SatisFAXtion Server Domain: This is the internal domain name that uniquely identifies your fax server Typically this
is
\\NETSATISFAXTION\SERVERNAME
, where
SERVERNAME
is the fax server’s machine name Note that this must be in ALL
CAPS, lower case or mixed case will not work If you are unsure what this is, run the Administration program on the fax server The
login dialog will display the Server Domain at the bottom of the window, labeled “Server:”
NET SatisFAXtion URL: This is the HTTP URL by which the FMIS will communicate with the fax server Enter a domain
name or IP address that can be reached from the FMIS machine You can test this by entering the full URL in a web browser on the
FMIS machine You should see a web page that says “The URL http:// is an XML interface that client applications use to access
this server ”
Number of DID Digits: The number of digits of DID/DNIS you are receiving on inbound calls This is typically 4, 5 or 10
digits If you are unsure of the number of digits, please contact your service provider or PBX administrator, depending on how calls
are reaching the fax server The number of digits you configure for the DIDs below will be determined by the number of digits you
receive
Fax Machine Integration Server IP Address: Enter the IP address of the machine you will be installing the FMIS software on
User Name: The unique user name that you will create and associate with the fax machine
DID: The phone number that will be assigned to the fax machine Only enter the same number of digits you receive on inbound
calls If you do not need to receive faxes on the fax machines (send only), it is safe to simply invent a number The range reserved for
invented numbers in North America (NANP) is 5550100 – 5550199
ATA IP Address: The static IP address that will be assigned to the ATA the fax machine will be connected to
ATA FXS Port: The physical jack the fax machine will be connected to
