Enable a Fax Device to Send
Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2
By default, a fax device is enabled to send when it is installed. However, if needed, you can also enable a device to send later. As part of this process, you can specify an optional Transmitting Subscriber ID (TSID) string, a text string that identifies the sender of a fax. The identification information typically appears in the banner in a fax message to help the recipient determine where the fax originated.
To enable a fax device to send
Open Fax Service Manager.
In the left pane, double-click Devices and Providers, and then click Devices.
In the right pane, right-click the device you want to configure, and then click Send.
To configure a TSID, right-click the device you want to configure, and then click Properties.
On the General tab, in Transmitting Subscriber ID (TSID), type a TSID string. This string is limited to 20 characters.
Later, if you want to disable the fax device from sending faxes, right-click the device, and then click Send to clear the check mark.
Additional considerations
To configure fax components, you must be a member of the Administrators group or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
To open Fax Service Manager, click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Fax Service Manager.
