Avaya Modular Messaging—Microsoft Exchange version and Avaya 
Modular Messaging—IBM Lotus Domino version require a third-party 
fax server for fax messaging. 

This section describes how third-party fax servers interoperate with 
Avaya Modular Messaging. 

Note: The hardware and software required for the third party fax 

server must be provided by the customer. For information on 
the fax server hardware and software recommended for a 
particular switch integration type, see the configuration notes 
available at http://support.avaya.com. These configuration 
notes also provide information on where the fax server can be 
installed. 

Avaya Modular Messaging, in conjunction with a compatible, 
customer-provided, third-party fax server, offers the following fax 
features:

!

A subscriber mailbox can receive and store fax messages.

!

Subscribers can forward fax messages and e-mail messages to fax 
devices for printing.

!

Subscribers can forward a copy of their inbox listing to a fax 
device through the telephone user interface (TUI).

!

Subscribers can forward a fax message with a voice annotation.

!

Fax senders can leave fax-only messages for subscribers. 

!

Subscribers can print e-mail messages that have attachments (for 
example, a document in Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel 
format), to a fax device. The fax server converts such attachments 
to fax format. The types of attachments that can be printed to a 
fax device depend on the capabilities of the fax server.

Receipt of incoming faxes can take place in several ways, depending on 
how the system is set up with Direct Inward Dialing (DID):

!

On systems with DID, callers call into a subscriber mailbox and 
press Start on the fax device.
