Viewing TSID Headers
Each program that recieves facsimiles handles them differently for instance, the default storage folder that Microsoft Fax uses for incoming facsimiles is hidden, this needs to be changed to allow a user to view the headings. This is because Microsoft Fax removes the headers from the facsimiles when saving them to a folder, but it leaves the headers in place while they are in the inbox of Microsoft Fax.
For Microsoft Fax begin by opening up "My Computer" and clicking on the "Tools Tab". From the drop down list select "Folder Options".
Once opened click on the "View Tab"
And check "Show hidden files and folders" Click "Ok" and close all open Windows.
Click on Start / All Programs / TSID Router / Setup / View Header
Click on the Browse Button and Browse to a Fax Image
For Microsoft Fax the default path is "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\MSFax\Inbox"
Select a facsimile that contains the header information to be viewed
Click on Open
Click on View TSID
The header information is displayed if it is a standard formatted fax image. If no information is in the TSID or CSID the user will be shown a message that says it is not available.
If it is not available the user has the option of displaying all of the headers contents by clicking on "View Entire Header" as shown below.
The user may want to copy and paste some of the displayed data into a file for later use in the setup process. Click on Exit to Close View TSID Contents.
