NOTES

  • Before applying any changes, it is recommended to check how your PABXPrivate Automatic Branch Exchange and your telecommunications service providers handle custom CLIP and TSID values. Certain telephony systems or providers may override or block custom CLIP and TSID values.
  • These customizations require changes to Windows registry. Problems may occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Do not edit the Windows registry unless you are confident about doing so.

To customize TSID and caller ID values of outbound faxes:

  1. Open the Registry Editor on the GFI FaxMaker server.
  2. Navigate to the following folder:
  • 32-bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GFI Fax & Voice\FAXmaker\Config
  • 64-bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\GFI Fax & Voice\FAXmaker\Config
  1. Create a DWORD value in this location called UseSenderFaxNumber.
  2. Change the value of the newly created UseSenderFaxNumber DWORD as follows:
