the Microsoft Exchange Mail Server with Desktop Faxing and
Active Directory Database Synchronization Features, Creating
a Fully Unified Fax and Email Solution
Certified for Microsoft Windows 2000 and 2003, Captaris RightFax
gives you all the tools you need to fax-enable desktop and
business applications. The RightFax Microsoft Exchange Module
is an add-on to a RightFax server, which acts as a communication
link between the RightFax server and the Microsoft Exchange
server allowing users to conveniently send, receive and organize
fax documents directly from Microsoft Outlook. Outbound email
messages addressed to the RightFax Microsoft Exchange Module
are picked up by the RightFax server, which converts them
into faxes and transmits them. Incoming faxes can be routed
to an email mailbox by specifying each RightFax user's mailbox
information in Enterprise Fax Manager. The RightFax Microsoft
Exchange Module can also provide notification of fax events
via email. With the RightFax Microsoft Exchange Module, RightFax
and Active Directory databases can also be synchronized. This
ensures that both Active Directory and RightFax client information
is consistently and correctly updated. RightFax leverages
Active Directory and provides robust synchronization capabilities.
User synchronization can occur from Active Directory to RightFax.
Fully customizable RightFax field mappings allow administrators
to perform all user maintenance from Windows by using the
RightFax Snap-in for Microsoft Management Console (MMC). Users
created or modified in Active Directory are automatically
updated in RightFax. This not only simplifies user administration,
but also ensures accuracy and consistency between servers,
saving both time and resources.

Send and Receive Faxes through
Microsoft Outlook
With the RightFax Microsoft Exchange Module users create fax
messages directly in Microsoft Outlook as they would create
emails. Faxes can be addressed to one or more destinations automatically
using the Microsoft Outlook Contacts folder, or addressed manually
using a simple dialog. The module includes forms that let the
users customize cover sheets, add library documents, attach
billing codes and more.
Figure 2. Sending and receiving faxes in Microsoft Outlook
is as easy as email.
When a user faxes a document from Microsoft Outlook, the
module delivers the document to the RightFax server. RightFax
renders the document to a fax format, including many native
file attachments, adds a cover sheet and/or any specified library
documents then transmits the document across phone lines, LAN,
WAN or over the Internet. The RightFax Microsoft Exchange Module
also automatically routes incoming faxes as mail messages to
Outlook mailboxes. Custom icons allow users to easily identify
fax messages in their mailboxes. The fax image itself is saved
in user's mail message as a file attachment. To view the fax,
the user simply double-clicks the attachment icon or with the
Advanced form, the fax automatically opens inside the inbox.

in Microsoft Outlook.
Eliminate Fax Duplication on your Microsoft
Exchange Server with Web Delivery
For organizations that use the RightFax Microsoft Exchange Module
to integrate fax and email functions, RightFax offers a Web
delivery feature designed to off-load storage of large or high-volume
fax images from the mail server. Web delivery sends notifications
of received faxes through email, but rather than attaching the
actual fax image to the mail message, the RightFax server attaches
a hyperlink to the fax location on the RightFax server. The
user simply clicks the link and is taken straight to the fax
image. The RightFax Web Access Module is required for this feature.
Figure 4. RightFax Active Directory Synchronization
is available as a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Snap-in.
Take Advantage of Active Directory Synchronization
Synchronization between RightFax and Active Directory links
user accounts in Active Directory to corresponding user accounts
in RightFax. Modifications to any Windows user automatically
apply to the linked user record in RightFax. The network administrator
can specify which user accounts should be synchronized, the
interval between synchronization and other conditions.
To synchronize user records, each user property in Active Directory
corresponds by default to a related user property in RightFax.
Administrators can fully customize these associations by using
the RightFax Active Directory Synchronization Snap-in for MMC.

Console provides for centralized system administration. |
