Hi Binh,

[Binh Duong]

That is great, you saved my day. I will have a look on your sample code and feedback later, thanks Mike so much

I able to integrate my app to call Fax Finder via web service, thank Mike so much. I also have a question about the coordinate among the ports, we have 4 available ports in FF440 if one or two of them are busy. FF440 will switch to another available ports (3,4) automatically OR we need to specific which port will be used to send? Thank in advance, your help is much really appreciate

[Mike Gadda]

If ports are busy and new faxes are scheduled it will use other available ports that are set for the outbound or both directions.

As my case, my FF440 has 4 ports. I just only plug only 1 line into port #1 but when i send a fax message. Port 3 is initialing and dialing for that message? it’s strange for me now and of course the message was failed sending

If you don’t have all ports connected then go into the web interface Modem config page and set the ports not connected to the direction of Inbound Only. That way if all connected ports are in use, the faxed will be queued until a line is available.

Thank Mike for your response, i also have questions about the loading of FF440? could you please advice us your valued suggestion about this? how about the hardwares RAM, CPU and Storage of Fax Server FF440 can load into its system? if i do a stress test to FF440, it means i will send roughly 1K fax messages per day and it will be continuously for a week. Is the FF440 can take this kind test?

[Mike Gadda]

Currently the only expansion that can be done to the FF440 is adding an expansion module for more ports via the USB connections. The Faxfinder is designed to be able to run continuously.

There is a chart on the following link that can be used as a guideline for faxes sent:

How about the log or anything needs the storage? it will be truncated automatically?

[Mike Gadda]

The Faxfinder does system maintenance by overwriting the oldest faxes/logs. You can set when to purge/email the logs if you want that done on a particular time interval.

Hello Mike,

There is any way to attach multiple URLs(Attachment) in a request to schedule a fax via web service?
something like:
<url>http://serveraddress/fax1.pdf</url&gt;
<url>http://serveraddress/fax2.pdf</url&gt;

Thanks,
Binh

Hi Binh,
For multiple attachments, you should have an <attachment> element for each attachment.

An example of multiple external attachments:

<attachment>
<location>external</location>
<url>http://Example.com/fax/report1.pdf</url&gt;
</attachment>
<attachment>
<location>external</location>
<url>http://Example.com/fax/report2.pdf</url&gt;
</attachment>

Regards,
Bryon
