The Delivery Email to Fax application can be used instead of Delivery FaxServer. Delivery FaxServer relied on a fax modem and fax line to transmit documents via fax. Delivery Email to Fax uses a fax service. Relais International has tested with and uses the fax service, InterFax. Fax services such as InterFax charge for these services. It is the responsibility of each customer to set up an account with the provider.
When Delivery Email to Fax has been configured, all documents and messages for which the delivery or messaging method is F(ax) are directed to the Fax Delivery queue for delivery. The Delivery Email to Fax application delivers these documents and messages via email to the fax service provider configured. The fax service in turn delivers the fax to the specified fax address.
Note: The following information is for use by customers not using the Relais Hosted Service. Any questions regarding the database and relais.ini updates should be sent to Relais International support.
The Delivery Email to Fax application points to the existing Delivery Fax queue, replacing Delivery FaxServer.
In the database, add the following entry to ID_APPLICATION.
INSERT INTO ID_APPLICATION (APPLICATION, IDENTIFIER, APPLICATION_ID, LOGIN_GROUP, LOGIN_STATUS, PROCESS_STATUS, SOLO_APP, INI_SECTION, ACCESS_OPTIONS)
VALUES ('Delivery Email To Fax', Null, 423, 'DEL', 'IN', Null, 'Y', 'D', NULL)
Caution: Make sure the value for application_id is set to the value for the Fax Delivery queue. Check for this value in ID_EVENT where event_desc is Fax Delivery.
If sending borrowing requests via fax is configured, then a second database entry is required;
INSERT INTO ID_APPLICATION (APPLICATION, IDENTIFIER, APPLICATION_ID, LOGIN_GROUP, LOGIN_STATUS, PROCESS_STATUS, SOLO_APP, INI_SECTION, ACCESS_OPTIONS)
VALUES ('Delivery Email To Fax', 'Borrowing', 222, 'DEL', 'IN', NULL, 'Y', 'D', NULL)
