Following is an example of an IP fax configuration that enables the MAX unit to handle
outgoing fax calls as shown in Figure 7-4:
Ethernet
Mod Config
With this configuration, the MAX unit processes an IP fax as follows:
1
2
3
4
5
Note: For fax accounting, a fax session starts when a modem resource is allocated and stops
when a session is terminated.

IP Fax Enabled=Yes
Login=ipfax
Password=works
The fax server on the local network receives fax data across the Internet from a remote fax
server.
The fax server initiates a connection to the MAX unit, sending its login name and
password in the first TCP packet.
If the login name and password match the Server-Login and Server-Password values,
respectively, in the IP-Fax profile, the MAX unit establishes a TCP session with the fax
server. If authentication fails, the connection is cleared.
After authentication, the MAX transfers control of an available modem to the fax server.
The fax server sends modem commands encapsulated in TCP packets, initiates a
connection to the destination fax machine, and sends the spooled data. If no send or
receive activity occurs for more than 2 minutes, the session is terminated and resources are
freed.
