About HP LAN Fax Connector

The HP LAN Fax connector allows the Upland AccuRoute server to process and deliver outbound fax messages originating in a HP 9100C Digital Sender device.

Note: You can configure the HP LAN Fax connector for multiple HP Digital Senders as long as all the devices share the same \HPFSCAN folder with the server.

The advantage of using this connector is that you can use the server to route fax messages from several HP devices and maintain centralized information about all outbound messages in the network.
