About the RightFax System

The RightFax system is a comprehensive network fax solution for creating, sending, receiving, and managing faxes from a user’s desktop computer. Users can add cover pages, overlay forms, attach documents, and insert graphics.

FaxUtil is the RightFax mailbox where users create, view, print, and manage faxes. With FaxUtil, users can forward, route, and delete faxes.

The RightFax server manages network print queues assigned to faxing, converts outgoing faxes, schedules outgoing faxes, and routes incoming faxes. Routing can be optimized with Least-cost Routing rules. The server consists of several services that run on one server computer or several networked computers to distribute heavy workloads.

Similarly, RightFax fax board services can be installed on remote servers to distribute the workload across several computers and to provide expanded channel capacity and system redundancy.

A RightFax email gateway acts as a communication link between the RightFax server and an email server. With an email gateway, the user’s customary email client software can serve as the fax client. RightFax includes an email gateway for SMTP/POP3. Advanced gateways for Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes are available as separate modules.
