Integrating FaxPress with MS Exchange and Outlook

FaxPress provides two options to integrate fax into Microsoft Outlook and Exchange. Castelle’s Exchange Direct provides a direct link between Outlook clients and a FaxPress server. With it you don’t even need an Exchange Server to send and receive faxes from Outlook. The direct connection to the FaxPress also provides you with real-time fax status. The other option, the Exchange Connector, interfaces FaxPress to an Exchange server. This option does not require installation of any Castelle client software, allows to use Exchange global address book for faxing and to use Exchange administrative tools. With either option, users can send and receive faxes as easily as emails.

FaxPress SMTP Gateway

The FaxPress SMTP Gateway is by far the most versatile e-mail gateway for FaxPress. It enables users of virtually any e-mail system to send and receive faxes.

The SMTP Gateway runs as a service on an NT 4.0 workstation or server and appears as an SMTP (Internet) e-mail server on the network, e.g., “fax.castelle.com”. When a user wants to send a fax via e-mail, he/she addresses the e-mail as such: faxnumber@fax.company.com.

The FaxPress SMTP Gateway has been tested in GroupWise and Exchange environments. It has proven to be a very reliable alternative to NLMs or connectors, especially since it does not run on the NetWare or NT server of the e-mail system.

Attachments are rendered into fax documents using FaxPress native attachments rendering mechanism

FaxPress SMTP Gateway for Lotus Notes

The FaxPress SMTP Gateway software serves as intermediary between the FaxPress server and your Lotus Notes email system, offering your company the benefit of centralized fax and email management, and your staff the convenience of a unified messaging environment.

The SMTP Gateway allows you to send and receive faxes via the FaxPress server without ever leaving your Notes client. Familiar email commands are used to create, address and send faxes, making fax messaging as simple as sending an email.

Attachments are rendered into fax file format for most applications, letting you send attached files to both fax and email recipients simultaneously.

The SMTP Gateway's fax features are available to both local and offsite FaxPress users.
