I am new to the platform so forgive me for being incorrect.Seems very interesting @Lorena Watkins and I would love to test your setup scenario out if you can elaborate a little bit more possibly with screen shots (hehe)
I have setup one email i.e fax@mydomain.com and then all of my users pbx domain's fax server I have setup previously mentiuoned email as smtp. My users send email to that email and ofcourse each fusion domain fax server has authorised users who can send to that email. Cron job checks email every minute and send out to the number that my users put in the subject field. So yes I am only using one inbox for everyone to send fax to and then cronjob takes over from there.
for incoming fax I just redirect the fax to each client's email which is pretty standard procedure.
Is it required to configure the same SMTP on each Fax Server/Extension or is sufficient to configure it on one, or is there a global/domain option?Each fax server has its own caller id (incoming/outgoing)
for incoming fax you redirect the fax to designated user's email
for outgoing when you send fax (authorised sender) fusion recognises this and acts as configured sender id
Hi there,I was able to get this going doing the below steps.
1) Disabled the send queue:
In advanced / default settings / fax / send_mode - set enabled to false
2) Deleted all the previous records under:
app / fax server / sent
app /fax server / log
3) Login and delete everything in the below folders on the server:
var/lib/freeswitch/storage/fax/sent
var/lib/freeswitch/storage/fax/temp
4) Restarted the freeswitch service:
service freeswitch restart
After that I was able to send faxes from email and the web portal without issue.
I would still like to understand the queuing a little more and how it would work with a high volume of faxes but like everything else in FusionPBX the faxing seems to works great!
