Implementation Options

Deploying and maintaining any new system in a complex, dynamic network environment is always a challenge. Castelle offers three different integration options for FaxPress Premier and Lotus Notes:

1.Implementing the FaxPress Premier Mail Template on the Domino server in conjunction with the Embedded Email Gateway for SMTP. Backs up existing mail template and distributes new, fax-enabled Notes mail template. (Recommended.)

2.Implementing the FaxPress Premier Mail Template on the Domino server in conjunction with the VIM-based Lotus Notes Gateway on a network workstation. Backs up existing mail template and distributes new, fax-enabled Notes mail template.

3.Enabling the Embedded Email Gateway for SMTP alone, on the FaxPress Premier, without modifying the existing Notes Mail template or involving the Domino server. Does not distribute a new custom, fax-enabled mail template, and does not affect the existing Notes Mail template. Allows users to send faxes from Notes Inbox using fax-specific addressing format. No fax forms; no Address Book integration.
