Administering Guaranteed Fax as a Secondary Extension

About this task

To administer a Fax endpoint as a secondary Fax extension:

Have your switch administrator add a phantom extension number.
The number must be within the range of numbers in the messaging dial plan, but it cannot be an extension number that is recognized by the switch.
Have the switch administrator administer the Fax print destination machine's extension for call coverage to messaging.
Go to the Communication Manager Messaging web page.
Under Messaging Administration, select Subscriber Management.
The system displays the Manage Subscribers page.
In the Add or Edit text box, type in a new subscribers extension.
The system displays the Add Local Subscriber page. See, adding a messaging subscriber as described in Adding Subscribers.
Enter the Fax print destination machine's extension number as a secondary extension as described in Administering a Secondary Fax Extension.
Use the telephone interface to:
- Record the name of the Fax print destination machine. When the system prompts you for your name, reply with the name of the Fax machine, for example, "Sales department Fax machine."
- Record a greeting that identifies the Fax print destination machine.
- Enter the Fax endpoint extension as the default Fax print destination machine. This value must match the allowed or denied Fax dial string restrictions as described in Specifying Fax Dial Strings.
- Activate Autoprinting from the mailbox (to the specified endpoint).
- Activate Autodelete to help keep the mailbox from exceeding maximum storage.
