Update and delete fax numbers on an existing faxbox

A faxbox must be assigned an inbound fax number first, in order to receive faxes.

  • Administrators have the access needed to add, delete, and update fax numbers.

  • Adding new inbound fax numbers to a faxbox may be required when a new employee, department, or process is introduced.

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

To update the sending fax number, update or delete receiving/inbound fax numbers:

  1. Click the Settings icon on the main Retarus Fax Portal page.
    → The User management screen displays.
