How to set up NetCFax to receive faxes




BACK TO INDEX PAGE

Naturally, NetCFax can receive faxes as well as sending them out, and if you have perhaps only been using it to send faxes, you may be a little unsure what settings need changing to have it received faxes as well.

The first major option is at the top right of the fax server window, in a frame labeled "Fax Server Global Settings".  You MUST first of all ensure that you have the top option labeled "Server will send and received faxes" checked.

The next thing to check is to ensure that your fax modems are set to both send and receive.  You can see at a glance by checking the list of fax modems that is at the top left of the main server window as shown below :

  

As you can see in our list, we have the modem on COM4 configured to only send faxes, so if we want it to received faxes, we need to change that setting.  To do so, just double click that entry in this list, and the modem configuration window as shown below will be displayed for this modem :

 

Just check the radio button option labeled "Send & Receive" and then click OK. If you happen to have the modem disabled, you will probably want to uncheck that option too.

Now the server is configured to both send and received faxes, but you will almost certainly want to configure some of the options we have provided for the handling of the faxes you receive. To do so, go to the "TOOLS" menu and select the option labeled "Received faxes configuration options"

This opens a standard Window property sheet that has 8 different tabs that between them let you configure all aspects of the handling  of your received faxes, including making PDF copies, OCR scanning (NetCFax PRO+ ONLY) and all manner of forwarding options.
