On the General property sheet of the gateway's Properties dialog box, a FACSys Administrator can define the gateway's name, gateway service settings, and cover page options.
Name - This name identifies the FACSys gateway and must be unique among all gateways defined in the FACSys network. For some gateway applications, this name must correspond to a name defined in the e-mail application configuration.
Display Name - Enter a display name for the gateway. This name is for display within the FACSys Administrator program only.
Gateway Services
Enable this gateway for service – Select this option to enable the gateway and place it on-line.
Process outgoing messages every ### minutes – Select this option to enable the gateway for outbound transmission and specify the polling interval that tells the FACSys gateway service how often to process out-going mail.
Allow messages to be received by this gateway - Select this option to enable the gateway for inbound transmission. When enabled, FACSys will forward inbound fax messages to users' e-mail Inbox folders, as per the instructions in the users' FACSys profiles. Only select this option if it is appropriate to the gateway type. (ie do not select this option when configuring a gateway service for an HP Network ScanJet scanner)
TIP: While testing the fax gateway, it is a good idea to lower the polling rate to 1 minute until the gateway appears to be operating correctly. Use the Windows Event Viewer application to review any problems the fax gateway may encounter and make adjustments accordingly.
