Before you use the Impact Fax Broadcast software you must open at least one port for faxing. Please note: The demo version only allows you to open a single port. Impact Fax Broadcast is able to open ports or channels automatically or manually. Automatic is recommended, otherwise you will have to manually open the ports every time you want to do a broadcast. On the other hand, manual open is often used if you only broadcast periodically and want to use the fax port for other operations when you are not broadcasting. If another application, such as a dial up internet connection, is using the port or modem you will not be able to open the port in the Broadcast software. If the ports or channels are marked to open automatically, they will open at startup and you do not have to worry about making sure they are open. Additional setup options are available depending on the type of the modem or fax board that you are using.
