Relay Fax downloads into a set up file, which means that it will install itself. So all you will have to do is go to the file you downloaded and double-click on it.

Then on the report names tab, enter the assigned email address.
SAMS is programmed to determine which fax numbers are local. In order for SAMS to accomplish this, you must first add all the prefixes that would be local to your calling area within your specific area code.
SAMS looks at the area code located within the association info detail tab. It will then look at all the prefixes at look-up codes > individual > telephone prefixes.
Once relay fax is installed and working, go to My Computer and then to the Relay Fax folder. In here you will find a folder called APPS which contains a file called RelayFax.INI . Please print this file as it contains all of the information about relay fax as it was installed.
