Fax Configuration
This wiki is for the standard Fax Configuration module, not the commercial version. For the commercial version, which adds outbound fax capability and the option to send/receive faxes in the User Control Panel (UCP), please see the Fax Pro wiki.
What is the Fax Configuration Module Used For?
Fax Configuration adds configurations, options, and a GUI for inbound faxing.
Application Note
In version 13+ of the PBX GUI software, visit the User Management module to enable faxing for a user. Fax settings for recipients are no longer found in the Extensions module. After you have enabled fax for a user, you can select the user as a Fax Recipient in the Inbound Routes module.
