Question

How can i setup the FXS port to receive FAX over PSTN on Cisco 2811?

Asked by: PredatorGR

Hi,

In my Cisco 2811 router i am running 12.4(20T) IOS and i have the following cads attached:

VIC2-2FXS
VIC2-2FXO
PVDM2 8

Right now i am using this router to route the outbound calls over PSTN using the 2FXO card (also the incoming calls are being routed to 2FXO card).

How can i setup the router to route all the incoming FAX calls to my FAX machine over the PSTN telco?

I have attached my running config that works perfect (please note that the 2FXS card is not yet attached, i will attach it when someone tells me how to config it because the router is in a working enviroment).

Thanks for your answer, i would like to inform you that i am using ISDN so i got 2 phone lines in one.

Problem is, i want to use those 2 lines for my office so when someone is already talking the other employee can make a call.

Right now i am using the ab1 channel from my ISDN box to FXO port 0 and the ab2 channel from the ISDN box connects directly to the FAX machine.

How i can use both ISDN channels (one channel to FXO 0 and the other to FXO 1) and when a fax arrives to either channel the fax gets routed to FXS 0 port?

I know i can use an ISDN BRI card but right now is out of my budget.

I think this is kinda tricky, any further help is much appreciated.

By the way, are you Greek?

Thanks
