Follow the steps below to configure HylaFAX Enterprise with your T38Fax.com credentials:
Connecting
Connect to the Appliance Console -- the menu area you see on screen when you boot the HylaFAX Enterprise Appliance server (not the web interface). If you don't have physical access to the server's console, you can attach to the Appliance Console by running attach-console
from a remote SSH connection. Simply press CTRL-\
to disconnect from the console when you're done. Don't forget to activate your license!
Configuration through GUI
Select "Advanced Options" - "Configure Telco Connections" and enter your T38Fax.com settings into the following fields:
- Gateway: sip.t38fax.com:5080
- SIP From: sip:[TRUNK_ID]@sip.t38fax.com (example: sip:18885551212@sip.t38fax.com)
- Username: [TRUNK_ID]
- Password: [PASSWORD]
- Do SIP registration: Enabled
- Allow U-Law: Enabled
- Allow A-Law: Disabled
- T.38 Support: T.38 preferred
- Outbound passthrough timeout (ms): 15000
- Enable V.34: Disabled
IMPORTANT: Substitute [TRUNK_ID] and [PASSWORD] with your T38Fax.com SIP credentials ⓘ.
Select "Save" to exit this screen.
Select "Configure Dialing Options" and input the following settings:
- Area Code: [YOUR_LOCAL_AREA_CODE] (999 by default, in this example 215)
- Always dial local area code: Enabled
- Always dial LD code: Enabled
Select "Save" to exit this screen.
Additional Configuration Through The Command Line
For the last step, instruct your HylaFAX SIP stack to bind to UDP port 5080 instead of UDP port 5060 ⓘ. Connect to the server via SSH and add the following parameters to callctrl-appliance.cfg
in the /var/spool/hylafax/ifax/bt/config
directory. This will require a reload of the hylafax-bt
service.
[host_module.1/parameters] ... sip_registration_server1_expires=300 sip_Contact=[HylaFAX server ip address]:5080
The sip_Contact
IP address must be present in the ip addr
command on the server or you will not be able to start the service correctly.
Amazon Web Services Marketplace
The HylaFAX Enterprise Appliance is also available on the Amazon Web Services platform. This pre-installed system will allow you to easily install HylaFAX Enterprise on Amazon EC2 and send/receive faxes with your T38Fax.com account without having to manage your own virtualization infrastructure.
