When troubleshooting problems with XCAPI and GFI FaxMaker, a fax test helps to verify if the XCAPI device is properly configured for the intended media gateway.
GFI Support may request users to perform this test and share results for further troubleshooting on their case.
This article shares the process of performing this fax test using XCAPI Test Tool.
