FaxPort.Priority property

The Priority property is a number representing the transmission priority designated for a specified fax port. Priority determines the relative order in which available fax devices send outgoing transmissions.

This property is read/write.

Syntax

Property Priority As Long

Property value

A Long that specifies or receives the transmission priority for the specified fax port. Valid values for this property are 1 through n, where n is the value returned by a call to the Count method.

Remarks

Note

Before setting a value for this property, a fax client application can call the CanModify property to ensure that the client has permission to modify configuration information for the specified fax port.

 

When the fax server initiates an outgoing fax transmission, it chooses the fax port with the highest priority and send capability. If that port is not available, the server selects the next available port that follows in rank order, and so on. When a client application changes the priority for a fax port, the fax service adjusts the priority for the other fax ports attached to the server. The Priority property has no effect on incoming transmissions.
