Incoming faxes are held as separate AIX files in the FaxSample inbound
directory. Database faxes are stored in a sub-directory of the inbound directory,
called Faxsave.
The file faxpath, in the FaxSample custom server directory,
contains the name of the FaxSample application's inbound fax directory. You
will set this name to the name of the Brooktrout fax reception directory, as shown
by the Brooktrout Fax Interface Tool, and thus provide the link between the
FaxSample application and the BrooktroutFax custom server.
The FaxSample inbound directory contains the following files:
- Inbound Faxes
- Incoming faxes are stored with a file name generated by the BrooktroutFax
custom server. The file name contains:
- The Date on which the fax was received (format: YYYYMMDD)
- The time at which the fax was received (format: hhmmss)
- The channel on which the fax was received
- A .tif extension.
- Saved Faxes
- Faxes are moved from the inbound directory to a separate directory if
the caller requests that they be saved. Here, the caller selects a number
to identify each fax. This number and a .tif extension are appended to the
string FXD and the result is used as the file name.
