4 Zetafax Exchange Online Connector Setup Guide Zetafax Exchange Online Connector The Zetafax email gateway enables users to send faxes using their email client, and to receive faxes directly to their email Inbox. It supports a range of different email systems, including Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino and other SMTP mail systems. The Zetafax Exchange Online C onnector adds support for Microsoft Exchange Online, which is part of the Office 365 cloud services suite. It enables users with corporate Exchange Online mailboxes to send and receive faxes simply using their corporate Zetafax Server, while ensuring that the fax traffic remains confidential and protected. How Zetafax integrates with Exchange Online The Zetafax Server uses a mailbox on the Exchange Online system, with a configuration setting in Exchange Online called a Transport Rule to redirect outgoing fax messages to that mailbox. To send a fax, the user simply sends an email to a specific domain eg 1234@fax.mycompany.com. Exchange Online moves the message to the Zetafax Server mailbox for the Zetafax Server to retrieve. Because Zetafax retrieves the stored messages, there is no need for any changes to the corporate firewall, and no requirement for any changes to register the chosen domain name or associate it with the Zetafax Server computer. Faxes for sending, sending notifications and received faxes are passed directly to the Exchange Online system using a secure connection (rather than unsecure SMTP mail), so faxes remain confidential. Supported Office 365 plans The Exchange Online C onnector uses the Transport Rules feature in Exchange. This feature is not available in all Office 365 plans, so it is important to ensure that the Office 365 plan being used has this feature. The Zetafax Exchange Online C onnector supports the following plans: Enterprise E1 Enterprise E3 Enterprise E4 Midsize Business Kiosk Note that Small Business and Small Business Premium plans are not currently supported, as these do not allow use of Transport Rules. C ompanies using a Small Business plan will need to upgrade to a supported plan to allow use with Zetafax. Please contact Equisys for further information.
Installing the Connector 5 Installing the Zetafax Connector for Microsoft Exchange Online To get Zetafax working with Exchange Online requires you to have the following items installed on the Zetafax Server computer: Microsoft.NET 4.0 Framework The following items are all prerequisites of the Exchange Online configuration. Please note: The Windows Azure AD Module for Windows PowerShell does not support Windows Server 2008 SP2 and earlier, these steps can be carried out on any later Windows operating systems including Windows 7/8. The associated Exchange Online setup actions can be completed on any machine and do not need to be installed on the Zetafax Server computer. Windows PowerShell Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant Windows Azure AD Module for Windows PowerShell Download links and further information for each of these can be found at www.equisys.com/downloads/ ExchangeOnline. Step 1: Install Microsoft.NET 4 Framework The connector requires the Microsoft.NET 4 framework, the installer for which is available for download using the above link. Download the dotnetfx40_full_x86_x64.exe installation program and run it. This will extract and then check your system to determine whether you have the same or a higher version of the.net framework installed. Follow the setup program and install.net 4 as instructed. Step 2: Install Windows PowerShell The connector installation process uses Windows PowerShell. This is already installed on some operating systems, but must be installed on the Zetafax Server computer if not already present. To check whether Windows PowerShell is already installed, and install it if not, download and run the Windows PowerShell installation program from the above link. Note that you may be required to restart the computer after installing this component. Step 3: Install Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant The connector installation process uses the Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant to access the Exchange Online server. This must be installed on the Zetafax Server computer if not already present. Download the Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant installation program from the above link. Run the Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant and follow the prompts to complete the installation. Step 4: Install Windows Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell The connector installation process uses the Windows Azure AD Module for Windows PowerShell to access the Exchange Online server. This must be installed on the Zetafax Server computer if not already present. Download the Windows Azure AD Module for Windows PowerShell installation program from the above link. Run the Windows Azure AD Module for Windows PowerShell installer and follow the prompts to complete the installation.
6 Zetafax Exchange Online Connector Setup Guide Configuring Microsoft Exchange Online C onfiguring your Exchange Online Account to work with Zetafax requires a PowerShell script to be run which will automatically do the following: 1.C reate a mailbox called Zetafax in Exchange Online, for use by the Zetafax Server 2.C reate an Exchange Transport Rule to redirect messages sent to a given domain name to the Zetafax mailbox. This domain name can be selected during installation, and typically has the format fax.mycompany.com. In order to run the script you will need to specify the mailbox (username) and password for an Office 365 account with administrator rights ie an account which is able to create mailboxes and configure the Exchange Online system. Running the Zetafax Exchange Online setup script To enable Zetafax to access and automatically configure your Exchange Online account you need to run a Powershell script to carry out the steps mentioned above. If you do not wish to run the configuration script to automatically configure your Exchange Online account you can instead carry out the steps manually. Download the version on the ZetafaxExchangeOnlineSetup.exe file relevant to your operating system from the Exchange Online resources page. Run the file and a Windows Powershell window will open. You will then be asked to press enter to establish a connection to Exchange Online. A window will appear requesting an administrator username and password, enter these and click OK. Note that this must be an account with rights to create additional Office 365 users. If you have multiple domains setup as part of your Exchange configuration e.g. if we have setup equisys.onmicrosoft.com as our Office 365 account we may wish to add the domain equisys.com so that communications via Exchange Online come from this address. In this situation you need to inform Zetafax which domain you wish to create the mailbox for, the script will ask you to select the domain as shown below. Domain equisys.onmicrosoft.com <Default> equisys.com exampledomain.com No. 1 2 3 Enter No. of the Domain to use: C hoose the relevant domain by entering the corresponding number and pressing enter. Next you are prompted to enter the Zetafax mailbox password. This password will not expire, so it is important to enter a complex password (using a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and punctuation characters) to ensure that the Zetafax mailbox is fully secure. Enter this twice as directed. Please note: Keep the password for the Zetafax mailbox to hand as you will need to enter it in the Zetafax C onfiguration program to establish the connection with Exchange Online. The script will then create the account. You may be presented with a warning message indicating that your connection is being redirected, this is normal and is not a cause for concern. Next the script prompts for the domain name to use as the email address when sending faxes, using the Office365 details to suggest a default, it then asks if you wish to change it. To accept the default enter n then press Enter, the script will finish setting up the transport rule. The default uses the format fax.mycompany.com eg a user sam@acme.com (or sam@acme.onmicrosoft.com ) would send a fax by sending an email message to 1234@fax.acme.com. The default is recommended for most users to help with support, but can be changed if required. A typical session for domain name equisys.onmicrosoft.com is shown below.

8 Zetafax Exchange Online Connector Setup Guide Configuring Zetafax to connect to Exchange Online To enable Zetafax to communicate with Exchange Online you need to configure the Email Gateway using the Zetafax C onfiguration program. Step 1: Enable the email gateway Open the Zetafax Configuration program, choose the Server settings option from the left pane, then click the Email Gateway icon to display the email gateway configuration settings dialog. The default setting is for the Email Gateway to be disabled. Select the Enabled radio button to enable the Email Gateway. Please note: Whenever you switch between Enabled and Disabled, all email addresses held by Zetafax are removed. These addresses can take some time to set up again, so take care not to disable the Email Gateway unless you really need to. Step 2: Add the Exchange Online email system The first step in configuring the Email Gateway is to add Microsoft Exchange Online as a service in the Email Gateway Services C onfiguration dialog. Stop the Zetafax Server if it is running C lick the Add Email... button to display the E-Mail Gateway Services C onfiguration dialog.
Configuring Zetafax to connect to Exchange Online 9 Add Exchange Online to the Installed Drivers list, by selecting Exchange Online in the Available Drivers list then clicking the Add button. If your Zetafax system was configured to connect to another email system before installing the Exchange Online C onnector files, then add each of these email systems now by selecting each in turn then clicking the Add button. The configuration settings are retained, so you will not need to reconfigure these additional systems. C lick the OK button to return to the Email Gateway configuration settings screen. Step 3: Configure the Exchange Online driver settings The Email Gateway Properties dialog allows you to configure various settings for Exchange Online. C lick the Configure button to display the E-Mail Gateway Properties dialog. Set the Polling interval to 30 seconds. For Exchange Online, the Zetafax Server polls the Exchange Online server across the Internet at the frequency specified by this setting. This interval can be reduced when configuring or testing the system,
10 Zetafax Exchange Online Connector Setup Guide however we recommend setting it to 30 seconds or longer for use on a live system. Highlight Exchange Online in the Email systems column and click Setup to display the settings dialog for the Exchange Online driver. Set the options as follows: o Driver enabled set to selected (enabled). This option enables or disables the Exchange Online portion of the email gateway. o Username enter the email address for the Zetafax mailbox account created earlier e.g. Zetafax@mycompany.com or Zetafax@mycompany.onmicrosoft.com. Note that this must be the Zetafax mailbox, not the administrator account. o Password enter the password for the Zetafax mailbox account created earlier. o Return sent files after transmission set to selected. This option specifies whether a copy of the sent fax should be included in the email message sent back to the user when a fax completes. o Default coversheet set to your company default coversheet. This coversheet will always be used if the 'Always use default coversheet' option is selected, overriding any options specified when sending faxes. The drop down list shows all coversheets configured on the Zetafax Server it is updated automatically by the Zetafax C onnector. o Always use default coversheet set to not selected. Selecting this option forces all faxes sent from this account to use the default coversheet. If the option is selected then users will not be able to override the coversheet using the message commands. o Omit coversheet if no text set to not selected. This option is used in automated systems where fax messages including a coversheet are submitted by attaching to a mail message.
Configuring Zetafax to connect to Exchange Online 11 o Default letterhead set to (NONE) o Always use default letterhead set to not selected. If this option is selected then users will not have the option to select a letterhead using the message commands. Next click the Test Connection button to check the username and password entered above are correct and test connectivity with the Exchange Online server. On a newly configured system this can take up to two minutes to run please be patient. When the test is completed a dialog box will be displayed giving the result. Once the connection test has completed successfully, click OK to return to the Email Gateway Properties dialog, then click OK again to return to the Zetafax email gateway configuration options screen. Step 4: Configure rendering options On the Zetafax email gateway configuration options dialog, click the Rendering... button to display the E-Mail Gateway Rendering Properties dialog. On the Applications tab, add ASC II to the Installed Applications list by selecting ASCII in the Available Applications list then clicking Install. Do not add any other applications, as this is used for a legacy rendering mechanism, and attached files are now rendered directly by the Zetafax Server using a more efficient mechanism. C lick OK to return to the Zetafax email gateway configuration options screen select OK. Step 5: Export the list of mail users On the Zetafax email gateway configuration options dialog, click OK to close the dialog. You will now be asked if you wish to export the list of users. If the prompt to export mail users is not displayed automatically when you close the configuration options dialog, then you can start the export process manually from the main screen of the Zetafax C onfiguration program by selecting Users and user groups > Email gateway users, right-clicking in the main right hand pane (list of users), then choosing Refresh.
12 Zetafax Exchange Online Connector Setup Guide C lick Yes to display the Export Mail users dialog. Enter the username and password for an administrator account for the Exchange Online system. The username is the email address for the account (eg administrator@mycompany.onmicrosoft.com ) Note that this must be an administrator level account, in order to retrieve a list of all users. If you supply details for a standard user account, then the exported list will only contain details of that single account. C lick the Export button to start the export. The progress window will provide details on how the export is going and how many users it has retrieved. Once the Export has completed, confirm that the number of users found is as you would expect, then click Close to close the dialog.
Configuring Email Gateway users 13 Configuring Zetafax users to use the Email Gateway for Exchange Online Having configured your connection to Exchange Online, you now need to configure Zetafax user accounts to enable email users to send and receive faxes. There are several ways of doing this, depending on the number of users you want to enable and whether users have individual direct dial (DID) numbers for receiving faxes. Enabling an existing Zetafax user account The simplest way of enabling a mail user to send and receive faxes is to create a Zetafax user account for the person, then enable the options to send and receive mail. From the main screen in the Zetafax C onfiguration program, choose the Users and user groups option from the left pane, then choose Zetafax users. C reate a new Zetafax account by choosing the Add new Zetafax user (Action menu) button or alternatively select an existing account by highlighting the user's entry and selecting Edit (Action menu), to display the Zetafax User Details dialog. Set the mail options as follows: o Allow sending from email gateway set to selected (enabled). o Forward received messages via email set to selected. This option causes received faxes to be sent to the person s email Inbox, rather than the Zetafax Inbox (displayed using the Zetafax C lient). o Email user name this can be entered directly, or chosen from the exported list of users by clicking the Browse button. C lick OK to save the settings and close the dialog. Enabling multiple email users Once you have tested the configuration with a single user account, you can then enable other users individually, or enable multiple email accounts in a single operation. Email users can be configured to use individual Zetafax user accounts, or to use a shared mail profile account. Using an individual account is the
14 Zetafax Exchange Online Connector Setup Guide most flexible option, but a shared account is more efficient and simpler to manage for larger numbers of users. You should use individual (private) accounts if: You wish to allocate a personal direct dial (DID) incoming fax number for each user. The Exchange Online C onnector does not currently support storing DID numbers in Active Directory, so these must be configured for each user account within Zetafax. Users will run the Zetafax C lient to send faxes or monitor progress, in addition to submitting faxes via email. The Zetafax C lient cannot be used with shared mail profile accounts. You wish to use advanced user configuration options such as permissioning or automatic printing, with different settings for each user. The features can be used with shared mail profile accounts, but they apply to all users using that account. To enable multiple email users to use Zetafax, do the following: From the main screen in the Zetafax C onfiguration program, choose the Users and user groups option from the left pane, then choose Email gateway users. Select the email users you wish to enable to use Zetafax, then choose Enable (Action menu). The system asks what type of account you want to use. C hoose the account type (as described above), then follow on-screen instructions to complete the process. Auto Enrollment You may prefer to use the auto enrollment feature provided by the wildcard entries created during the user import. This option does not allow the administrator precise control over who will use the gateway, as each user sending a fax from an enabled domain will be auto enrolled and tallied by Zetafax until the licensed number of users is reached. At this point any further users you may need to use the gateway will be rejected. The following table gives examples of the options: To enable Wildcard to be used Any user from yourdomain.com Any user from any domain Any user from sub-domain of yourdomain.com SMTP: *@yourdomain.com SMTP: *@* SMTP: *@*.yourdomain.com C lick the appropriate wildcard entry in the right pane of the Email gateway users list with the right mouse button and choose Enable from the pop-up menu. In the Enable Email Users dialog, Single shared account will be the only option. C lick the OK button to proceed: In the Add new Zetafax email user profile dialog, enter EXONLINE and click OK: In the Zetafax user details dialog, click OK:
Configuring Email Gateway users The enabled wildcard entry will now appear in the right pane of the Email gateway users list with the email user profile account as its Zetafax name. 15
16 Zetafax Exchange Online Connector Setup Guide Sending Options for a Fax Message Sending a fax message is simply a matter of sending the message by e-mail to an e-mail address consisting of the fax number, followed by @ the transport rule we created earlier e.g. 123456789@fax.mycompany.com or the standard rule of 123456789@fax.fax. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Launch your e-mail client program. C reate a new message. In the To: field, enter a fax number followed by the transport rule e.g. @fax.mycompany.com or @fax.fax, resulting in 7701234567@fax.mycompany.com. C omplete the Subject and body fields of the message. Send the message. The characters allowed in the fax number are: The digits 0-9 for example 7701234567@fax.mycompany.com. The international dialing character '+', for example +3312345678@fax.mycompany.com Zetafax automatically replaces this by the configured international dialing prefix upon dialing. Zetafax ignores period '.' and minus '-'. Please note: That you should not include the.onmicrosoft.com extension in fax addresses, whilst this is the Zetafax Exchange Online account details, we are not attempting to send to this account. Instead you are identifying to Exchange Online that you would like to use the transport rule that was configured earlier. Therefore even if the sending account was Zetafax@mycompany.onmicrosoft.com to send a fax you would need to address it as 123456789@fax.mycompany.com where fax.mycompany.com matches the transport rule configured earlier. Specifying the name When you address a fax using just the fax number as described above, the Name field on the cover sheet or letterhead will be blank. If you want to specify the text for the Name field, you use the following form of address: Name<faxnumber@fax.mycompany.com> For example: Sam Smith<123456789@fax.mycompany.com> In the Name position, the / \ [ ] ( ) and ~ characters have special meaning, so you are unable to use them directly in a name. To include any one in the name you must precede it by a \ character. For example, to set the name to: Sam Smith/Sally Smythe you use for example: Sam Smith\ /Sally Smythe<123456789@fax.mycompany.com> Like addresses of all forms, this may be stored in your e-mail client program's address book. Specifying the organization Similarly unless you specify the Organization text, it will be blank on the coversheet or letterhead. If you want to specify the Organization text for the Name field, you use the following form of address: name {organization}<faxnumber@fax.mycompany.com> For example: Sam Smith {Smith and Sons}123456789@fax.mycompany.com Specifying Fax Settings It is also possible to instruct Zetafax to apply coversheets, letterheads and other options by adding information to the address or subject lines. The fax settings can be specified in a number of locations which
Sending Options for a Fax Message 17 are listed below in priority order, meaning that an entry in the subject line for a particular coversheet will override one for the To address. This means that you can configure these settings in your address book to specify a particular coversheet or letterhead for a user without having to specify it each time. 1. Zetafax Exchange Online Setup - The options specified in the previous topic when configuring the mailbox. 2. Subject Line - Added to the subject line of the message 3. To Address - Added to the address line of the message 4. C C - Added to the C C field of the message Please note: That the To address and C C fields are not compatible with the /after command as email addresses cannot contain the : character and as such should be added to the subject line. Similarly spaces or other characters which are not valid as part of an email address should be added to the subject line instead of an addressing line. Specifying the coversheet or letterhead Normally when you send a message, Zetafax will use the default configured coversheet. If instead you meant to specify the coversheet to be used for the message, you add a special option to the end of the message's subject text, such that the subject is of the form: Subject line text /cov=coversheet_name Similarly this can work with the To and C C fields: 12345678/ cov=coversheet_name@fax.mycompany.com Worked examples: Project Outline /cov=formal 12345678/ cov=formal@fax.mycompany.com will cause the message to use the coversheet named 'formal'. Where Zetafax is configured to use a coversheet by default for each message it sends but you wish to send a message without a coversheet, you use the following option: Project Outline /nocov You may specify a letterhead in a similar way: Subject line text /let=letterhead_name Similarly this can work with the To and C C fields: 12345678/ let=letterhead_name@fax.mycompany.com Worked examples: Our meeting / let=main 12345678/ let=main@fax.mycompany.com to use the letterhead named main, and Our meeting / nolet 12345678/ nolet@fax.mycompany.com to use no letterhead. Specifying send tim e and date Normally your message is sent at a time that is configured for you or your user group - usually as soon as higher priority messages have been sent. You may delay the sending by specifying a send time option on the end of the subject. Subject line text / option=value 12345678/ option=value@fax.mycompany.com
18 Zetafax Exchange Online Connector Setup Guide The available options are: Option /after=yy-mm-dd /after=hh:mm[:ss] /offpeak Description Send after the specified date Send after the specified time Send in the off-peak period Please note: That the To address and C C fields are not compatible with the /after command as email addresses cannot contain the : character and as such should be added to the subject line. Worked example: Our meeting / let=main /offpeak 12345678/ let=main/offpeak@fax.mycompany.com causes the message to be sent in the off-peak period. Preview ing You may specify that the message be sent as a preview to you rather than to the recipient, allowing you to check it before resending it as normal. You specify a preview using an option on the end of the subject or in the address fields. Subject line text /preview 12345678/ preview@fax.mycompany.com Worked examples: Our meeting / let=main/preview 12345678/ let=main/preview@fax.mycompany.com After viewing the preview, to send the message to the recipient, remove the /preview option and re-send it.
