Xerox FlowPort Support & Software Installation Guide

 

FlowPort is a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) direct mail 
system but can be configured to work with the POP3 (Post Office 
Protocol) polling mail system. To use an Internet Fax machine as an 
input and output device for FlowPort, you must make configuration 
settings if using either an SMTP server or a POP3 polling server. 

The FlowPort SMTP option directly manages the Internet FAX 
mailboxes through the hostname and user name mailboxes that are 
configured for FlowPort. 

To complete the FlowPort SMTP configuration, you need the 
following information from your system administrator for the 
SMTP server:

• DNS hostname

• DNS domain name

• Static IP address

In addition to the FlowPort configuration, you need to configure the 
Internet Fax machine.

• Assign a speed dial number or use an alternate method to 

specify the FlowPort server’s Internet Fax address. For 
example:

FlowPort@FlowPortserver-hostname.domain

The FlowPortserver-hostname is a name assigned to the 
FlowPort server that receives Internet faxes. By default, it is the 
DNS name of the machine running the FlowPort server. 
Depending on your mail server, your Information Systems 
administrator may need to customize the server in order to have 
incoming Internet faxes forwarded to the FlowPort server. See 
your IS administrator.
