Outgoing IP faxes
Figure 7-2 shows the basic structure of an outgoing IP fax operation. The fax server receives
an outgoing fax from the Internet and interacts with the MAX unit to transfer it to the PSTN.
The fax server logs in to the MAX unit and is authenticated before seizing one of the unit’s
modems for dial-out to the destination fax machine.

Configuring system parameters for IP fax modem
usage
To send faxes, the fax server logs in to the MAX unit, gains control of one of its modems, and
dials out. The fax server configuration specifies the IP address of the MAX unit and
(optionally) one or more trunk groups for IP fax use. In addition to the IP fax login and port
parameters that enable the fax server to log in (described in “Configuring IP fax options” on
page 7-5, the following parameters in the System profile affect the resources available for
outgoing fax calls. (The settings shown are the defaults.)
