Fax Trunk to Device Assignments

Once you've assigned DIDs to a fax trunk, you can send faxes from, and receive faxes to, the eFax Portal located at http://fax.sipstation.com. This portal can be used as a standalone fax-over-IP solution, or it can be used in conjunction with physical fax equipment.

 In order to use physical fax equipment with your fax trunk service, you will need a FAXStation device. You can connect a fax trunk and fax machine to the device in order to send and receive faxes whenever you have an Internet connection, even with problematic satellite and cellular networks.

You must associate a fax trunk with one of the two ports of your FAXStation device in order to send faxes from your connected equipment, and to receive faxes with that same equipment. When a trunk is associated with a device's port, you gain the ability to use that device with your faxing service, and you continue to have the ability to use all of the features of the eFax Portal.
