Fax for Extension

[vgarcia]

Hello,

I know this isn't FreePBX but, on FreePBX you can fax to extensions... Does FusionPBX allow faxing to extensions? If so, how do I enable that feature?

Does this cover it?

I'm still a bit confused. I know how to create a fax, but I'd like my users to be able to receive a fax directly to their extension.

With FreePBX the line would take a second or two, to decide if it was incoming fax, then either accept the fax or ring the line if it wasn't a fax.

You *might* be able to add this to your dialplans for DDI numbers to detect and transfer accordingly:

mod_dptools: fax detect - FreeSWITCH - Confluence

freeswitch.org

Never tested it myself, and wouldn't even know where to find a fax machine to test it. We binned all of our years ago.

Either way, it's not really how FusionPBX designed the fax server component. It's a standalone extension that listens and emails them out.
