More information

Zetafax 2009 provides a number of new features and resolves a large number of issues that have been reported in previous versions.

New features include:

  • Support for running the Zetafax Server under VMWare ESX and ESXi
  • Fax over IP Connector (including Brooktrout SR140)
  • Wider platform support for Brooktrout boards (using Brooktrout SDK 6.0, including support for Windows Server 2008)
  • Support for Citrix XenApp6
  • Improved support for higher volume systems (with large numbers of fax lines)
  • Simplified client update feature
  • Improved protection for SalesLogix users (for use with Zetadocs for SalesLogix, currently available in North America only)

The major problems resolved in this release include:

  • Zetafax Client fails to install on some x64 and x86 machines.
  • Brooktrout devices intermittently fail to pick up an incoming call.
  • When installing Zetafax Server on an Exchange Server, the installer incorrectly identifies that MAPI needs to be installed.
  • Systems  with large numbers of devices are timing out because initialisation is taking too long.
  • Dialogic (Eicon)  BRI boards are failing some faxes immediately during a faxshot with the error " The remote station called does not support the transfer mode" .
  • Under some circumstances, sending a fax from either Outlook 2003 or 2007 causes the message to be redirected to the " badmail" folder, meaning that the fax message is not processed.
  • On Windows Vista, the Zetafax Client fails to prompt the user when an updated client is available.
  • The aborting of faxes does not work for Dialogic (Eicon) Diva fax boards and other CAPI devices.
  • G3N (draft quality) faxes are always received as G3F (normal quality) faxes with Brooktrout TRxStream devices.
  • In a failover configuration, the backup server fails to start with the error " Initialisation taken too long - aborting"
  • Email gateway message processing intermittently uses excessive CPU.
  • Dialogic (Eicon) Diva fax boards and other CAPI devices intermittently identify that a message timed out when it was sent correctly.
  • SR140 device configuration wizard sometimes fails to save the Channels Used setting.
  • Clicking 'New' or 'Open' in the Coversheet Editor results in an error.
  • On 64-bit systems, the Zetafax Client cannot be installed if the server installation uses a 'split' (failover) file system
  • Incoming calls rejected intermittently with SR140 if some channels were configured for “send only”
