Configuring fax extensions
If you want to continue using your fax machine with the VoIP phone system, connect the fax
machine to an adapter (such as OBIHAI OBi 200, Cisco SPA 112, or Grandstream HT 702) that
supports T38 first before connecting it to the FortiVoice unit. T38 is a protocol designed to allow
fax to travel over a VoIP network.
In this case, the fax machine is treated like an extension. The FortiVoice unit receives faxes and
relays them to the fax machine. Faxes sent from the fax machine will follow the fax sending dial
plans.
To use this option, you need to create and enable the fax extensions first. You then need to
configure the FortiVoice unit to receive and relay the faxes to the fax machine.
For information on fax configuration, see “Configuring fax” on page 227.
Authentication ID If you select Try common name with base DN as bind DN as the
user authentication option in the authentication profile you
select, enter the authentication ID based on the user objects’
common name attribute you entered in the Common name ID
field of the profile, such as jdoe.
If you select Search user and try bind DN as the user
authentication option in the authentication profile you select,
leave this field blank.
This option is only available if you select LDAP for Authentication
type.
Voice Mailbox Configure the extension’s voice mailbox.
In some cases, you may want other users or groups to share this
voice mailbox. For example, a supervisor wants his/her
co-workers to access his/her voice mailbox while he/she is
away.
Main voice mailbox Select the extension’s own voice mailbox (Default) or that of
another extension as the voice mailbox of this extension.
Typically, you use the default mailbox.
If you select the voice mailbox of another extension, you can
click Edit to modify that extension.
Notify message
waiting light to
You can let the FortiVoice unit turn on the message waiting light
on the phones of a user or user group if you want to notify the
user or group of a new voice message stored in the voice
mailbox associated with this extension.
To notify a user or user group, click User(s)/Group(s) and select
the users/groups from the Available field and click -> to move
them to the Selected field.
To listen to the message after being notified, the user can dial *97
or the code you set (see “Modifying feature access codes” on
page 237) and enter the user’s own voicemail PIN.
For information on creating user groups, see “Creating extension
groups” on page 156.
