Assigning fax numbers

Fax numbers must be purchased before adding users that can receive faxes (that is, when NoFaxLine is set to False). If the fax number specified does not exist, GFI FaxMaker Online fails to add the user.

Refer to the examples below to understand how DialingCode, AreaCode, FaxNumber can be configured to assign fax numbers:

DialingCode	AreaCode	FaxNumber	Description
<empty>	<empty>	<empty>	GFI FaxMaker Online assigns a random fax number from the list of available numbers.
11	<empty>	<empty>	GFI FaxMaker Online assigns a random fax number with international dial code 11.
11	<empty>	1123456789	If number 1123456789 is available, GFI FaxMaker Online assigns it to the user. The international dial code must be included in the FaxNumber field. The DialingCode field is also required for GFI FaxMaker Online to identify the international dial code within the number.
11	234	<empty>	GFI FaxMaker Online assigns a random fax number from area code 234 and international dial code 11.
