• Install Fax Modem or SIP account (FoIP)

If you would like to use a SIP account rather than a fax modem (FoIP), please refer to: Fax over IP with Joyfax Server and Configure Joyfax Server with 3CX Phone System PBX.

1. To prepare the Joyfax Server to send and receive faxes, you must connect the modem to the computer.
   
2. Connect your computer's modem to your phone line using a standard phone cable. Plug in the modem's power supply if you are installing an extended modem. 
   
3. Install the modem drivers.
   Turn on your computer. After the New Hardware Wizard detects your modem, insert the Installation CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. Follow the onscreen prompts to complete the installation
   

As you may have noticed Microsoft still limits your half-open (incomplete/syn packets) connection attempts per second that the system can make, this limit effects the capability of Joyfax Server. To increase TCP/IP Max Connections:

1. Download the TCPIP.SYS patch from our site;
2. Unzip the package file, and follow the introduction.

Note: If you are using a Windows 2000/2003/Vista Server computer or you install the Joyfax Client only, just ignore this step.
