Administering fax on the MSS
This topic contains information about fax administration on the Message Storage Server (MSS).
The technician usually administers fax service when your MSS is initially installed. If fax service was not administered on your MSS during installation, you must first administer fax service on the Messaging Application Server (MAS) before you can continue. See VMSC - VMD - Fax Dialog Box for more information.
To administer fax on the MSS:
1. Verify that fax service is set up on the MAS.
2. On the MSS, set up a class-of-service to use for fax service:
1. On the Manage Classes-of-Service page, select a class-of-service to modify for fax service.
2. Click Edit the Selected COS.
3. On the Edit a Class-of-Service page, in the Subscriber Features and Services section, set the Outbound Fax Calls field to yes.
4. Click Save.
3. Set up the required fax service mailbox:
1. On the Manage Subscribers page, click Manage in the Local Subscribers row.
2. On the Manage Local Subscribers page, click Add a New Subscriber.
3. On the Add Local Subscriber page, complete the following fields:
* Last Name field: enter fax.
* Password field: enter a password.
* Mailbox Number field: enter the fax mailbox number that you entered in the Fax Mailbox field on the VMSC - VMD - Fax Dialog Box in the MAS Voice Mail System Configuration tool. See VMSC - VMD - Fax Dialog Box for more information.
* Numeric Address field: enter a different number from the mailbox number. For example, prepend a 1 or the area code to the mailbox number.
* Class-of-service: select the appropriate class-of-service from the drop-down list.
4. Click Save.
4. Administer the fax mailbox number:

MAS - Microsoft Fax Printer Configuration
With Native Fax Support, only one server in the voice mail domain, either a Messaging Application Server (MAS) or supplementary server, uses the MM Fax Sender Server service to process outgoing faxes. For more information on services see, MAS - Modular Messaging (MM) Services.
During the Modular Messaging installation on this server, the MM Shared Fax Driver is installed, the MM Fax Service Provider is installed and registered automatically, and a Local Fax Printer is created.
You must make this printer available as a Network Fax Printer. You may also need to modify the rights on the share and fax object to control access to it.
Note: In order for Modular Messaging subscribers to be able to print using the Network Fax Printer, the Windows Fax service must be installed on their PC client. For more information, see Avaya Modular Messaging Subscriber Options Guide.
Procedure 1: Sharing the Microsoft Fax Printer on the MAS Running the MM Fax Sender Server Service
1. Verify that the MM Fax Sender Service is Started and set to Automatic.
2. On your Windows desktop, click the Start > Settings > Printers and Faxes menu to launch the Printers and Faxes window.
3. Right-click the Fax and select Properties. This opens the Properties dialog box.
4. In the Sharing tab, select Share this printer. Leave the Share name as Fax, and enable the List in the directory check box.
Note: Steps 5, 6, and 7 are applicable if the MM Shared Fax Driver is installed on a S8730 server platform running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2. Otherwise, proceed to step 8.
5. Click Additional Drivers to install additional print drivers. Installing additional print drivers enables users of different Windows versions to connect to the shared network printer. This opens the Additional Drivers dialog box.
6. Select the operating systems that are allowed to download the installed drivers on connecting to the network.
7. Click OK.
8. In the Configuration tab, select Fax Service Manager.
9. Right-click Fax (local) and select Properties.
10. In the Security tab, add the Network Service Account to the list of users and groups with access.
Note: If this system uses the private Windows domain, add the MM Fax User Account to the list of users and groups with access.
11. Assign Fax, Manage Fax Configuration and Manage Fax Documents permissions to the Network Service Account.
12. You can configure any other settings as necessary, then click OK.
