WinFax PRO Fax Sharing

If you do not have a modem installed on your computer, you can still use

WinFax™ PRO to send and receive faxes. To do so, you must be attached

to a network, and there must be at least one computer with a fax capable

modem or similar communications device and WinFax installed. This

modem sharing feature in WinFax is called Fax Sharing.

If you are sending and receiving messages using a modem on another

computer, your computer is a Fax Sharing Client station. If you and others

in your office are sending and receiving faxes using the modem or device

on your computer, your computer is a Fax Sharing Host station.

This document describes how to use WinFax with the Fax Sharing feature.

Introducing WinFax PRO Fax Sharing

WinFax turns your computer into a full-featured fax messaging

communications center. Using WinFax, you can send and receive fax

documents from your computer at any time.

WinFax sends and receives messages using a modem or related

communications device. For most WinFax users, the modem or device is

installed locally on their computer. However, if you do not have a modem

or device installed on your computer, you can still send and receive

messages by setting up your computer as a Fax Sharing Client station and

using the modem or device attached to the Fax Sharing Host station on

your network.

The Fax Sharing Host station is the messaging center for all Fax Sharing

Clients on your network. Using Fax Sharing Client, you can select the

documents you want to fax on your computer, assemble your fax in the

Send dialog, and then transfer the documents over the network to a Fax

Sharing Host to be faxed—all with a single click. Similarly, the Fax Sharing

Host receives messages for all users on your Fax Sharing network.

To retrieve faxes, you simply connect to the Fax Sharing Host Receive Log

and select the faxes that belong to you.

The following diagrams illustrate how the Fax Sharing Host handles all

sending and receiving activities for your Fax Sharing network.

WinFax PRO Fax Sharing

System Requirements

The Fax Sharing feature enables Fax Sharing Client stations to transfer faxes

across the network to and from the Fax Sharing Host station. To use the

Fax Sharing feature, you need at least one Fax Sharing Host station and

one Fax Sharing Client station on your network. Multiple Client stations can

connect to a single Host station at any one time (maximum 15 under

Windows 95/98, maximum 25 under Windows NT/2000).

The Fax Sharing Host station is any computer running WinFax with an

attached fax-capable modem or similar communications device that has

enabled the Fax Sharing Host feature.

The Fax Sharing Client station is any computer running WinFax that does

not have an attached modem or device and is set up for Fax Sharing with

the Fax Sharing Host.

The WinFax PRO Program Group

The table below describes the items included in the WinFax PRO program

group.

More information on using these items is provided in the online help and

the WinFax PRO User’s Guide.

Icon Program

Controller – Use the Controller to receive faxes at all times (even when Message

Manager is not running), to monitor current WinFax activity, and to quickly view

new faxes.

The Controller icon indicates that you are running in Fax Sharing mode by

displaying a “network node” graphic directly below the usual Controller graphic.

Install Directory – This is a shortcut to the WinFax installation folder.

Program Setup – Use Program Setup to configure and personalize your WinFax

installation, and to set up many of the main WinFax features.

Send New Fax – Use this command to open the WinFax PRO Send dialog so you

can send faxes without starting Message Manager.
