What if you have a Fax Server ISDN II or PRI, but it isn't possible, or too costly, to buy extension numbers. Your problem will be that you can't have dedicated fax numbers in that situation.

Vidicode has found a solution. The fax selector notification.

Improving Fax traffic in difficult situations for more reliable communication.

With the fax selector notification it is possible to send a fax message to the e-mail address linked to a virtual extension number, based on the entered DTMF code by the sender.

A fax message meant for mister Brown can be sent directly to his e-mail, simply by pressing Mr. Brown’s extension number after the Notification message given by the fax server.

How does it work?

Quite simple. The sender dials the company's global fax number (He will have to put his fax on speaker or use the handset).

He listens to the notification; for instance: “Dial 1 for the legal department, Mr Green, dial '2' for the legal department, Mr Black”, then the sender dials ‘1’. The fax will be sent to Mr Green's e-mail address connected to that code.
This way faxes will always be delivered at the right person or department, the risk of the wrong eyes reading a fax message is diminished to virtually zero, and a lot of time is won.
