We realize that many customers do not understand how a fax system such NetCFax as can really be networked effectively. In fact, it is really very easy, and all you need to provide is a working network that has the (Microsoft and Internet standard) TCP/IP protocol installed as a networking protocol. (Most networks today use ONLY TCP, so you should not need to do anything more to be able to use NetCFax) NetCFax uses TCP/IP for all of the communications between the fax clients and the server(s). This means you do not have to create folder "shares" etc before the NetCFax clients can connect to the NetCFax server(s). The diagram below shows just one of many possible networking scenarios that NetCFax can work under.
NetCFax comprises two main modules, the Fax Server, which handles ALL sending and receiving of faxes, plus the Server stores all faxes and then provides relevant information to the Fax Clients, based on the login account rights. There is no limit to the number of NetCFax servers that can be installed on your network. So, if you feel that you need several PC's running separate NetCFax servers, that is no problem at all. (obviously each server would need to be licensed separately) The NetCFax clients can connect to any accessible NetCFax Server, providing the IP address or machine name of the available server(s) is known, and they have a login name and password for that server. This allows you to distribute the sending or receipt of faxes to different phone lines, possibly even in different offices or building, and this is totally transparent to the fax clients that log into them. Each NetCFax server maintains its own configuration, and stores its own faxes on the fax server machine. The NetCFax client can be installed on as many client PC's as you wish without limit, irrespective of the license count your server(s) may have. All access to the servers, and therefore the licensing is controlled by the NetCFax servers. No login account may be in use more than once at any one time, as the server will refuse access to a second login trying to use the same account. Multiple servers may however provide the same login accounts if you wish to configure them in that manner, and then of course, the same login account can be used (to different servers) at one and the same time. NetCFax provides both user access groups and departments to allow you to control not only access to the fax data, but also to allow "departmental" access only to received faxes that were received on a certain modem/phone number . This can also be used to specify particular printers that are used by the server to print faxes and reports, thus ensuring that only the relevant people in the correct departmental group can see or access those faxes.
