Fax over IP Configuration

Configuration of the fax over IP capabilities on the gateserver is handled by the quickconfig tool. To enable faxing on the gateway, the Store and Forward Fax feature is used in conjunction with the software feature, Voice over IP for the Cisco AS5300. To use Store and Forward Fax, you must have the software component of Voice over IP for the Cisco AS5300 installed on your access server. In addition, you need to have a Microcom modem card installed.

Requirements

Have fax hardware installed on the gateway.
Configure the gateway to enable the fax feature by accessing the Store and Forward Fax documentation located at:
The following files are configured by the quickconfig tool.
- FaxPrint.ini
- DialMap.ini
- Schedule.<hostname>
Set up Fax Admin accounts prior to adding subscribers and specify those accounts when adding subscribers. For more information on Fax Admin accounts, see the uOne Administration Manual.
Provision the inbound fax number field on the add or modify subscriber screen of uOne Administration with the personal fax phantom phone number to be used to refer to the subscriber's mailbox. Refer to the uOne Administration manual for additional information. Doing this creates e-mail aliases of the form FAX=<phantom>@<domain> (where <phantom> is the phantom phone number of a subscriber to be used for faxing to their mailbox, and <domain> is the e-mail domain name). This enables the user to send faxes directly from their mailbox.
