You can assign a personal fax access number to subscribers. The gateway assumes that all calls made to that number are inbound fax calls.
 |
Note The tasks presented in this section are required only if you implement Inbound Fax Services. |
On an incoming fax, the gateway receives the call and converts the data from fax format to TIFF format. It then creates and sends via SMTP an e-mail message with the TIFF-formatted data attached to the subscriber. The messaging server receives the e-mail and performs an LDAP search for an e-mail alternate address (alias) that includes the inbound fax number. If a match is found, the messaging server places the e-mail message in the appropriate subscriber's unified mailbox. The alternate e-mail address is in a standardized form as follows: FAX=<personal Fax Number>@<e-mail domain>.
Before you start administering Inbound Fax Services, ensure that the following tasks have been completed.
To configure inbound fax services on the uOne system, you perform these tasks:
|
Note Refer to the Gateway documentation for information on configuring the Gateway for inbound fax services. |
If you are adding inbound fax services to your system, you may want to update the system-level notification defaults in the defaultData.ini file.
Step 2 Type:
cd /home2/spmaster/ADMIN/cgi-bin/MSGadmin/MSGdata
Step 3 Edit the defaultData.ini file as desired (Table 9-1).
[addNotifyforNewSub]
numOfAttrs=<XX>
attr<YY>=<Value>
referenceAttr=<NotificationMethod>
|
Note You must configure these parameters for message notification to work. |
| addNotifyforNewSub] numOfAttrs=4 attr1=notifyvoicenormal attr2=notifyvoiceurgent attr3=notifyfaxnormal attr4=notifyfaxurgent referenceAttr=cn
|
| Parameter | Description | Valid Values |
|---|---|---|
[addNotifyforNewSub] | The attribute list label. | Should not be edited. |
numOfAttrs=<XX> | This entry can be changed as long as it matches the actual number of attributes defined. | XX=A number |
attr<YY>=<Value> | YY is a numeric value corresponding to its position within the attribute list. There must be no gaps in the numbering of options. Value describes which message type and urgency will apply to this type of message notification (e.g. pager or MWI). | YY = A number Value = Notifyvoicenormal Notifyvoiceurgent Notifyfaxnormal Notifyfaxurgent Notifyemailnormal Notifyemailurgent |
referenceAttr= | Describes the notification method to be used as defined by the attribute list. This value can be edited, but should not be removed. | NotificationMethod= pager—sends a page on every message defined by the attribute list. cn—sends an MWI signal on every message defined by the attribute list. |
For each inbound fax subscriber, you must set up the inbound fax number that callers use to send faxes to the subscriber. To do so, you must enter the appropriate number in the Inbound Fax Number field on the Modify a Subscriber screen in uOne Administration. See "Modifying Subscriber Accounts" for the procedure to access that field.
|
Note uOne Administration automatically builds the e-mail alternate address (FAX=<inbound fax number>@<e-mail domain>) for each subscriber's inbound fax number. The <e-mail domain> used is the same as the subscriber's e-mail address. |
