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.

  • 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 UseLocalIdForClip.
  2. Change the value of the newly created UseLocalIdForClip DWORD to:
