1.5.2NETSatisFAXtionComponents
NET SatisFAXtion is typically installed on a Local Area Network (LAN). The server’s fax cards are
connected to the telephone system (or PBX) via standard analog telephone lines (RJ11), or if
digitalservicesareavailable,viaaT1/PRIconnection.
The NET SatisFAXtion server uses a server and domain methodology for accessing the fax services.
This means that a domain may actually host several NET SatisFAXtion servers, especially in a large
enterprise installation. This is an important detail for administrators because NET SatisFAXtion
allows an administrator to manage multiple fax servers in multiple domains from a single
workstation.
Typically, faxes will be created by users using either client software such as the FaxOut Client
Suite or Microsoft Fax or an email gateway which allows you to send faxes from Microsoft
Exchange or SMTPbased mail systems. In some instances, your configuration may include a
combinationofclientbasedandemailbasedsolutions.
