Configuring the fax server
The server-based fax service integrated on the application card converts
incoming messages into PDF files and sends them to the recipient as e-mail
attachement. When outgoing PDF files in e-mail attachements are converted
into fax messages. This section deals only with the configuration of the fax
server. To configure the entire fax service, you need additional configuration
steps.
Routing of incoming fax messages
DDI numbers for receiving external fax messages are monitored directly by the fax
server and are not linked with a call distribution element. The fax server converts
fax messages of the type Group 3 fax into an e-mail with attachment and sends it
to the destination user. Use of the fax service is subject to fax licences.

Explanation
IP address and port
(display
only)
The fax service IP address is identical to the applications card IP address. The
permanently assigned port is port 9060.
Domain
The standard domain name is
fax.local
. Please do not modify this if possible,
after installing the fax client application on the PCs. However, if necessary, you
must adapt the registry as follows on each PC:
Start the fax client setup, with the following parameter request, whereby you
must replace
fax.local
with the new domain name:
Aastra-Fax-
Client-Setup32.exe
/v“REG_ADDREXTFAXPREFIX=\”[SMTP:\”
REG_ADDREXTFAXPOSTFIX=\”@fax.local]\””
Check the registry input. This should be as follows, with the new domain name
in place of
fax.local
:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Ferra
ri\fomclient\Outlook\Addin]
"AddrExtFaxPostfix"="@fax.local"
