Create copies of a fax port

To create one or more copies of an existing fax ports, right-click on the fax port and select Copy.  This will open the Define a Range of Fax Ports dialog, shown below.

Enter the port number to start with in the first box and the number of ports to create in the second box.  Note that you are entering the COM port to use; make sure you enter the COM port that is actually assigned to the fax/modem port you are adding.

Click OK to create the ports or Cancel to close the dialog without creating them.  The ports will only be created if specified COM ports actually exist on the system; otherwise, an error message will be displayed.

Note:  This option will be disabled if there is no fax/modem installed and/or the fax software is not installed.  If your system is configured with voice boards that support fax reception, you do not need to create fax ports (and should not do so). SIP systems do not support fax.
