Overview
The Device Settings window allows you to configure settings for FAXStation devices that you are using with your fax trunks. Settings include friendly names for devices, outbound-only settings, port configuration, and alerts. These settings are only available if you have assigned a fax trunk to a device.
...
By default, outgoing faxes sent from equipment attached to a FAXStation device port will use the first DID added to the trunk as its outgoing Caller ID. You can change this Caller ID (CID) by editing device settings. You can also change the TSI (Transmitting Subscriber Identification), which is the string of information identifying a specific fax machine as the sender.
If you enter a default area code, you can enable 7-digit dialing for fax machines connected to the FAXStation device.
In addition, you can set up e-mail alerts to notify someone when the device checks in or goes offline.
...
Follow the instructions above to navigate to the Edit Devices window.
Click on the Friendly Names tab if you are not there already.
Enter a name in the New Name field for any device you wish to rename.
Toggle the Outbound Only box for any device you wish to designate as outbound-only. If a device is outbound-only, all of its ports will be outbound-only. An outbound-only device will not receive faxes unless you use the "Resend" function described here: Received Faxes. The "Resend" function overrides an outbound-only setting. Even if a device is outbound-only, inbound faxes will still be received by the eFax Portal.
Click the Save new names button to save your changes.

Keep in mind that changes on the Caller ID and TSI can take 5-10 minutes to take effect, and can sometimes take up to an hour. |
Follow the instructions above to navigate to the Edit Devices window.
Click on the Port Configuration tab if you are not there already.
Select the device to edit from the Device menu.
Fill in the Caller ID, TSI, and Default Area Code fields as desired for each port. Each field is optional and may be left blank.
Caller ID: This caller ID will be used for outbound faxes associated with this device port. Please note, the eFax Portal will still show the DID that you assigned to the fax trunk. The eFax Portal will NOT use the custom CID defined here, even if you enter one of the other DIDs that you own.
TSI: Transmitting Subscriber Identification, abbreviated as TSI or TSID, is a string of information identifying a specific fax machine as the sender. The receiving machine usually prints the TSID at the top or bottom of the received fax.
Default Area Code: This will be prepended to 7-digit numbers in order to enable 7-digit dialing.
Click the Save Configuration button when finished.
