3.8. eFax extension

Definition eFax extension

An eFax is a virtual fax. With an eFax you receive conventional faxes in PDF format to your email account.

How to edit a virtual Fax?

Example:
You want to create an eFax that is internally accessible by the extension 111. All incoming faxes will be sent to the email address max@mustermann.net

Instructions:

  • Enter a short name for your eFax.
  • Next you assign the extension number 111 to your eFax, so that it is internally accessible. If you have only one trunk line, the direct dial (external number) is created automatically. If you have multiple trunks, you need to choose a "Preferred Outbound Trunk" in the "Configuration".
  • Afterwards the direct dial (external number) is created automatically.
  • Then your eFax is externally accessible at the direct dial +49 123 456789 - 111.
  • Finally select your email address "max@mustermann.de" as destination, so the eFax knows where to send incoming faxes.

Configuration

In the serviceportal under "Targets" you click on the ADD-button and select a new eFax service. You can also edit an existing eFax service by double-click.
