Update and delete fax numbers

  • Administrators have the required access to update, delete, and add fax numbers to a faxbox.

  • Updating and deleting inbound fax numbers may be required when employees leave, when employees move to a different department, or if a department or a process is changed or eliminated.

  • It may also be necessary to change the assigned fax number that will be used for sending outbound faxes.

  • Each faxbox must have at least one inbound fax number assigned, but multiple fax numbers can be assigned if needed.

When updating and deleting fax numbers, please remember that a faxbox must be assigned at least one inbound fax number to receive faxes.
