Server part of the fax server ArtiFax runs under Windows NT/2000/XP platform and consists of several functional modules. List of registered users is located at the internal database (Interbase 6.0 SQL server) and is edited by the module User Administrator on the server.

Each registered user has its own internal mail number (extension), which is used by fax server for receiving, sending and routing fax messages over LAN or Internet. The routing is of two types: DTMF-routing and line routing. DTMF-routing allows caller party to send fax directly to the right person. But he needs extension number as well as phone number. Line routing allows accepting fax right to the mailbox according to the line it was received. This possibility is very simple and useful because it needs not dialed extension from caller. All calls both inbound and outbound are conducted and managed by the module Call Manager.

While receiving fax from the caller, at first fax server greets him with the voice message and offers him to dial an extension. Then it plays personal greeting of the user with such extension and offers him to press Start button on the fax machine. If no extension was dialed then fax message will be put to the common mailbox with the extension "0". If system is configured for using line routing, the message will be put to the mailbox corresponding to the dialed line. After having received fax message fax server sends it to the user by E-mail as an attachment in TIFF class F Group 3 format. All this functionality is provided by another module - ArtiFax network gate.

ArtiFAX conversion server module is required for automatic conversion of files with different types into graphic file for fax send. This module allows users to send faxes simply by attaching Word, Excel, Acrobat files into email.

Administrator of the system has a lot of possibilities for controlling and management of the fax server. All types of reports and log-files are presented.
