bull press Enter and yoursquoll see a lot of text fly by Answer Yes to adding a Fax Masteralias
bull For a user to received fax-related mail enter the user account you created foryourself during the Debian installation
bull Four configuration parameters will be listed and yoursquoll be prompted as to theircorrectness Press Enter to accept these values Yoursquoll then be asked if you wantto run faxaddmodem to set up the software to use the modem Press Enter toaccept the default Yes response
bull Enter the correct ttyS designation for the serial port(make sure your modem isconnected to serial port not the parallel port) your fax-modem is connected to(ttyS0 is for COM1) Yoursquoll be prompted for quite a few values For most youcan accept the default values by pressing Enter The values yoursquoll want to enterare
Country code (1 for US)
Area code
Phone number of fax modem
Local identification string (this should be larrsomething like rsquoMy Fax Serverrsquo as it is printed larron the tag line of outgoing faxes)
Long distance dialing prefix (1 in US)
International dialing prefix (011 in US)
Dial string rules file (accept the default)
Tracing during normal server operation (accept the larrdefault)
Tracing during send and receive operations (accept larrthe default)
Protection mode for received fax - enter 0644
Protection mode for session logs - enter 0644
Protection mode for ttySx - enter 0666
Rings to wait before answerNote The default is 1 but setting it to 0 larr
establishes your server as a Send Only fax larrsystem
Modem speaker volume (valid values are OFF QUIET larrLOW MEDIUM HIGH (you may want to set it to HIGH larrfor testing purposes as you can change it to OFF larrlater)
Command line arguments for getty (accept the larrdefault)
Pathname of TSI ACL file (accept the default)

Syslog facility name for ServerTracing messages ( larrthe default is rsquodaemonrsquo but you could change it larrto rsquolocal7rsquo if yoursquore logging to a remote syslog larrserver)
Set UID to 0 (accept default)
Use priority job scheduling (accept default)
bull Yoursquoll then be asked to confirm the values that you entered and then the utilitywill query to modem to determine the fax classes that it supports
bull Even if your modem supports both Class 1 and Class 2 you should set it to Class1 for compatibility with all fax machines
bull You will then be asked for values specific to the modem Just press Enter toaccept the default values as they are a result of the modem query and the classyou selected Yoursquoll then be prompted to confirm these values by pressing Enter
bull The non-default scheduler values will then be displayed with a confirmationprompt The Area Code may not be correct If so answer No and correct anyerroneous values You may also want to increase the time value for Timeoutwhen converting PostScript documents if you fax long documents but you canjust press Enter to accept the default values for the rest of the values
bull Answer No when asked if you want to configure another modem
bull Accept the default Yes answer to run faxmodem on your newly configured mo-dem to verify settings Yoursquoll then be returned to the shell prompt
bull If you want to manually edit the file that contains these settings do so with thecommand
vi etchylafaxconfigttyS0
bull You have to run the faxaddmodem utility to create this file first though
bull Next wersquoll set up HylaFAX to run automatically when you boot the systemCheck the configuration file
vi etcdefaulthylafax
bull to make sure therersquos no character at the beginning of the line containing RUN_HYLAFAX=1Exit the editor

21 Configure Incoming Settingsbull One last item that is to let HylaFAX know who is allowed to send faxes You can
use a modified subnet address to let everyone on your network submit faxes tothe server Edit the hostshfaxd file with the command
vi etchylafaxhostshfaxd
bull As an example if your using a subnet address for your network of 192168100enter the following line into the hostshfaxd file
19216810
bull Likewise if your using a subnet address of 1721600 your hostshfaxd file entrywould be
17230
bull You can enter as wide of a network address or multiple narrower address en-tries as yoursquod like If yoursquod like to restrict access to specific users you can entertheir individual IP addresses When done save the file and exit the editor
NOTE You will see the paths varspoolhylafax and var larrspoolhylafaxetc specified in HylaFAX documentation and larrutilities Do NOT edit the files in these directories larrThe files are duplicated in the etchylafax directory larrIf you ever want to manually edit the configuration files larr only edit the files in the etchylafax directory
bull Reboot the system by typing reboot and yoursquoll have yourself a fax server(Rebootis not necessary Restart of hylafax would do just fine)
22 Fax Statusbull To see a status of a fax server Type
faxstat -s
3 Sending FaxIn general the list of all the software is here but you can just go to the once we referencebelow httpwwwhylafaxorgcontentClient_Software

31 LinuxYou can use Gfax or Kde Print Fax You install it Gfax by
apt-get updateapt-get install gfax
Then Go to Application then Office then Gfax
bull This needs to be tested but
Now i can do fax from OpenOffice TextEditor etc
1 Install GFax from apt-get install gfax2 Configure GFax with your Fax Server (HylaFAX) I hope you larr
know how to do itOk you can test your GFax configuration by test send a larr
fax with Text Editor (Applications -Accessories)3 To make it work with openoffice run usrlibopenoffice larr
programspadmin (with root access) youdo sudo -i or whatever
4 You add fax pdf converter from spadmin GUI fill the larrcommand with gfax (TMP)
5 Thatrsquos it you save the configuration6 Try fax an openoffice document
1st time i try fax with Fax Printer it hangthen i tried fax with PDF Converter and set the PDF Folder larr
then after fax i close the GFax and nothang
32 Windowsbull On windows you would use this Win print Hylafax software You can download
it at httpwinprinthylafaxsourceforgenet
bull To get the addressbook working with winprinthylfax you can setup folder calledhylafaxaddressbook and i int create 2 empty files called namestxt and num-berstxt
bull ADMINISTRATIONDownload program called WHFC which will tell you thestatus of the hylafax servers
33 Mac

ModemDialCmd ATDT9s
bull Pause The comma () dial modifier causes the modem to pause while dialingATD917731231234
bull Pause and wait for dial tone The W causes a modem to wait for an dial tonesignal before dialing the number that follow the W ATDT 9 W 17731231234
ModemDialCmd ATDT9Ws
bull Final Modem Dial Cmd on the system could look like this
ModemDialCmd ATDT9Ws
bull 9 says dial 9 comma says wait W says wait for dial tone s says dial thisnumber
bull Also see ModemAtCommandSet
bull If you experience no dial tone in your logs try something like
ModemDialCmd ATX3DT8s
AT - picks up the phone X3- disables dial tone check DT tells it to use tone dial8 then bdquo for wait then the phone number
35 Adding usersbull You need a user on your system
adduser dept1
bull Fill in the username and password etc
bull Then add user to hylafax First find out what is your new user UID
bull Type
cat etcgroup
bull Find your user It should be something like dept1x1001 so this user UID is1001
bull Now tell hylafax about it
7
faxadduser -p password -u 1001 username
bull To see what users are already in do
cat varspoolhylafaxetchostshfaxd

Serial Card
1 Startechcom 4 Multi Port Serial PCI Card
2 Startechcom 2 Port Serial PCI Card
41 Done with simple setupDone Everything beyond this point is for setting up multiple incomingoutgoingfax modems
5 Multiple Incoming Fax Lines
51 Multi port Serial PCI card ttySbull Therersquos really no limit to the number of serial cards Linux can support but
there is a kernel configuration parameter for the number of supported serialports(CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS)
bull Currently the limit in Debian supported ports is 4 (read on for more then 4 portsupport)
bull So if you have a 2 port serial card you want to add to your pc here is what youdo
bull If you connect more modems or when you buy a serial pci card you will want toknow which ttyS port they are using You can do it by
dmesg |grep tty
8
bull You should see something like
faxserver~ dmesg |grep ttySttyS0 at IO 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550AttyS14 at IO 0xdf08 (irq = 209) is a 16550AttyS15 at IO 0xdf10 (irq = 209) is a 16550A
bull If you installed another serial pci card (2 port or 4 port) you can see if it wasdetected by typing
lspci -v
This should list something like
000002000 Serial controller NetMos Technology PCI 9835 larrMulti-IO Controller (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [16550])
Subsystem LSI Logic Symbios Logic 2S (16C550 UART)Flags medium devsel IRQ 209IO ports at df08 [size=8]IO ports at df10 [size=8]IO ports at df18 [size=8]IO ports at df20 [size=8]IO ports at df28 [size=8]IO ports at df30 [size=16]
bull As you can see the IRQ should be the same as the one specified in dmesg
bull Install setserial This program will let you control serial port better
apt-get updateapt-get install setserial
bull Then try
setserial -g devttyS
bull If you donrsquot see a ttyS(ex ttyS14) in dev you will need to create ttyS14 device
ls devttyS
bull So in my case I am missing ttyS14 ttyS15 in dev folder
MAKEDEV ttyS14MAKEDEV ttyS15
9
bull Now run setserial -g devttyS again and you should see your new serial ports
bull Plug in your modems and Run
faxaddmodem
bull Select the new ttyS and you are done setting up multiple fax machines
52 Fax Dispatchbull Fax dispatch is a custom script that one can create for Hylafax to specify non-
standard delivery options (Standard is varspoolhylafaxrecvq)
bull If you want to have multiple fax destination folders for each fax you have (ttyS1ttyS14 ttyS15 etc)
bull Create Fax Dipatch file in etchylafax
touch etchylafaxFaxDispatch
bull Sample Fax Dispatch file might look like this httpwwwinfocoptercomknow-howhylafaxfax-dispatchhtml
bull Copy and past below to your etchylafaxFaxDispatch This will dispatch faxesto different folders based on device
bull Make sure you have created appropriate folders (In this case dept1 dept2 andchange device names to your names
$Id FaxDispatchv 12 20030504 234941 darren Exp larr$

53 FaxNotifybull When fax fails to send user gets an email notifying of a failure Default is to
just sent an email with a job number To make sure they get a copy of what theyactually sent we need to add FaxNotify to etchylafax
bull Create FaxNotify in etchylafax
bull Inside put
RETURNFILETYPE=pdf
54 View faxes through internet browserbull To do that install apache web server
apt-get updateapt-get install apache2
bull Now add a link to your faxes
cd varwwwln -s varspoolhylafaxrecvq fax
bull Now open a broswer and go to httplocalhostfax or by your ip addresshttp10101010fax

67 4 ports serial card more then 4 modem supportbull Therersquos really no limit to the number of serial cards Linux can support but
there is a kernel configuration parameter for the number of supported serialports(CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS)
bull To find out how many serial port your kernel is configured for do
dmesg |grep Serial
bull And look for line like
Serial 825016550 driver $Revision 190 $ 4 ports IRQ larrsharing enabled
bull Shows that the driver is compiled to support only 4 ports
bull I was getting following logs which I will include here for reference
serial8250 ttyS2 at IO 0x3e8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A0008 ttyS2 at IO 0x3e8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A000005040 ttyS0 at IO 0x1010 (irq = 201) is a 16550A000005040 ttyS1 at IO 0x1018 (irq = 201) is a 16550A000005040 ttyS3 at IO 0x1020 (irq = 201) is a 16550A
Couldnrsquot register serial port 000005040 -28
shows that ttyS2 is on the motherboard ttyS0 S1 and S3 larrare
on the 9845 card The driver found the fourth port on the larr9845 card
but couldnrsquot use it because all four ports (ttyS0-ttyS3) were larralready
in use (thatrsquos what the -28 error means)
bull You can list your pci cards by doing the following This will show you all pcicards Look for the one that mentions serial
lspci -v

bull Lets add a more serial ports to our system We do it by adding the 8250nr_uarts=16at end of kopt line in the grub menu configuration file
bull Edit bootgrubmenulst and change the following lines by adding the 8250nr_uarts=16at the end of kopt
DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM Just edit them to your needs
Start Default Options default kernel options default kernel options for automagic boot options If you want special options for specific kernels use larr
kopt_x_y_z where xyz is kernel version Minor versions can be larr

bull Then
update-grub
bull Reboot
bull When you log in run the command
setserial -g devttyS
bull This will show you list of all serial ports addresses and corresponding ttyS

bull So now from lspci -v I know that first port on my 4 port serial card is 1010 whichis ttyS1 second 1018 is ttyS2etc
bull Its really easy
bull The maximum number of the serial ports you can set the kernel boot to is 16ifyou need more kernel 2624 wil have 32 as upper limitsee Debian Bug 440807
7 Tools
71 Archive Faxesbull If you have a need to archive each fax by date there is a script that does just that
httpwwwhylafaxorgarchive2007-02msg00399php
16
bull Download the archivepy file to some folder I use usrlocalbin
bull Edit a cron job
crontab -e
bull Now set up the time it will run The extension it should use And a folder wherethe faxes are
1 0 python usrlocalbinarchivepy varspoolhylafax larrrecvq tif
bull Above line will run the program every day at 0001 am Change the us-rlocalbinarchivepy to where you have downloaded the program Changevarspoolhylafaxrecvq to where your faxes are located Change tif to theextension you are using for storing your faxes
bull If you just need to run it once This command will do
python usrlocalbinarchivepy varspoolhylafaxrecvq tif
72 Send batch faxesbull To send multiple faxes first you need to create a file that will have fax numbers
per one line Type it or do a database query
1773123123413121231234
bull If you need to add 1 in front of the number you could use vim to do it with thiscode press ESC
s^1g
bull This will replace ˆ(beginning of a line) with 1
bull After your file is ready and you have a pdf of what you want to send Issue thiscommand
sendfax -z batchfaxnumberscsv FILE2007NEWSpdf
bull To make only one modem be responsible for sending that job And to enableenough time for it to send we can issue this command which will use ttyS0modem and will expire in 24 hours

bull Yoursquoll then be asked to confirm the values that you entered and then the utilitywill query to modem to determine the fax classes that it supports
bull Even if your modem supports both Class 1 and Class 2 you should set it to Class1 for compatibility with all fax machines
bull You will then be asked for values specific to the modem Just press Enter toaccept the default values as they are a result of the modem query and the classyou selected Yoursquoll then be prompted to confirm these values by pressing Enter
bull The non-default scheduler values will then be displayed with a confirmationprompt The Area Code may not be correct If so answer No and correct anyerroneous values You may also want to increase the time value for Timeoutwhen converting PostScript documents if you fax long documents but you canjust press Enter to accept the default values for the rest of the values
bull Answer No when asked if you want to configure another modem
bull Accept the default Yes answer to run faxmodem on your newly configured mo-dem to verify settings Yoursquoll then be returned to the shell prompt
bull If you want to manually edit the file that contains these settings do so with thecommand
vi etchylafaxconfigttyS0
bull You have to run the faxaddmodem utility to create this file first though
bull Next wersquoll set up HylaFAX to run automatically when you boot the systemCheck the configuration file
vi etcdefaulthylafax
bull to make sure therersquos no character at the beginning of the line containing RUN_HYLAFAX=1Exit the editor

21 Configure Incoming Settingsbull One last item that is to let HylaFAX know who is allowed to send faxes You can
use a modified subnet address to let everyone on your network submit faxes tothe server Edit the hostshfaxd file with the command
vi etchylafaxhostshfaxd
bull As an example if your using a subnet address for your network of 192168100enter the following line into the hostshfaxd file
19216810
bull Likewise if your using a subnet address of 1721600 your hostshfaxd file entrywould be
17230
bull You can enter as wide of a network address or multiple narrower address en-tries as yoursquod like If yoursquod like to restrict access to specific users you can entertheir individual IP addresses When done save the file and exit the editor
NOTE You will see the paths varspoolhylafax and var larrspoolhylafaxetc specified in HylaFAX documentation and larrutilities Do NOT edit the files in these directories larrThe files are duplicated in the etchylafax directory larrIf you ever want to manually edit the configuration files larr only edit the files in the etchylafax directory
bull Reboot the system by typing reboot and yoursquoll have yourself a fax server(Rebootis not necessary Restart of hylafax would do just fine)
22 Fax Statusbull To see a status of a fax server Type
faxstat -s

31 LinuxYou can use Gfax or Kde Print Fax You install it Gfax by
apt-get updateapt-get install gfax
Then Go to Application then Office then Gfax
bull This needs to be tested but
Now i can do fax from OpenOffice TextEditor etc
1 Install GFax from apt-get install gfax2 Configure GFax with your Fax Server (HylaFAX) I hope you larr
know how to do itOk you can test your GFax configuration by test send a larr
fax with Text Editor (Applications -Accessories)3 To make it work with openoffice run usrlibopenoffice larr
programspadmin (with root access) youdo sudo -i or whatever
4 You add fax pdf converter from spadmin GUI fill the larrcommand with gfax (TMP)
5 Thatrsquos it you save the configuration6 Try fax an openoffice document
1st time i try fax with Fax Printer it hangthen i tried fax with PDF Converter and set the PDF Folder larr
then after fax i close the GFax and nothang
32 Windowsbull On windows you would use this Win print Hylafax software You can download
it at httpwinprinthylafaxsourceforgenet
bull To get the addressbook working with winprinthylfax you can setup folder calledhylafaxaddressbook and i int create 2 empty files called namestxt and num-berstxt
bull ADMINISTRATIONDownload program called WHFC which will tell you thestatus of the hylafax servers

bull Pause and wait for dial tone The W causes a modem to wait for an dial tonesignal before dialing the number that follow the W ATDT 9 W 17731231234
ModemDialCmd ATDT9Ws
bull Final Modem Dial Cmd on the system could look like this
ModemDialCmd ATDT9Ws
bull 9 says dial 9 comma says wait W says wait for dial tone s says dial thisnumber
bull Also see ModemAtCommandSet
bull If you experience no dial tone in your logs try something like
ModemDialCmd ATX3DT8s
AT - picks up the phone X3- disables dial tone check DT tells it to use tone dial8 then bdquo for wait then the phone number
35 Adding usersbull You need a user on your system
adduser dept1
bull Fill in the username and password etc
bull Then add user to hylafax First find out what is your new user UID
bull Type
cat etcgroup
bull Find your user It should be something like dept1x1001 so this user UID is1001
bull Now tell hylafax about it
7
faxadduser -p password -u 1001 username
bull To see what users are already in do
cat varspoolhylafaxetchostshfaxd

Serial Card
1 Startechcom 4 Multi Port Serial PCI Card
2 Startechcom 2 Port Serial PCI Card
41 Done with simple setupDone Everything beyond this point is for setting up multiple incomingoutgoingfax modems
5 Multiple Incoming Fax Lines
51 Multi port Serial PCI card ttySbull Therersquos really no limit to the number of serial cards Linux can support but
there is a kernel configuration parameter for the number of supported serialports(CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS)
bull Currently the limit in Debian supported ports is 4 (read on for more then 4 portsupport)
bull So if you have a 2 port serial card you want to add to your pc here is what youdo
bull If you connect more modems or when you buy a serial pci card you will want toknow which ttyS port they are using You can do it by
dmesg |grep tty
8
bull You should see something like
faxserver~ dmesg |grep ttySttyS0 at IO 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550AttyS14 at IO 0xdf08 (irq = 209) is a 16550AttyS15 at IO 0xdf10 (irq = 209) is a 16550A
bull If you installed another serial pci card (2 port or 4 port) you can see if it wasdetected by typing
lspci -v
This should list something like
000002000 Serial controller NetMos Technology PCI 9835 larrMulti-IO Controller (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [16550])
Subsystem LSI Logic Symbios Logic 2S (16C550 UART)Flags medium devsel IRQ 209IO ports at df08 [size=8]IO ports at df10 [size=8]IO ports at df18 [size=8]IO ports at df20 [size=8]IO ports at df28 [size=8]IO ports at df30 [size=16]
bull As you can see the IRQ should be the same as the one specified in dmesg
bull Install setserial This program will let you control serial port better
apt-get updateapt-get install setserial
bull Then try
setserial -g devttyS
bull If you donrsquot see a ttyS(ex ttyS14) in dev you will need to create ttyS14 device
ls devttyS
bull So in my case I am missing ttyS14 ttyS15 in dev folder
MAKEDEV ttyS14MAKEDEV ttyS15
9
bull Now run setserial -g devttyS again and you should see your new serial ports
bull Plug in your modems and Run
faxaddmodem
bull Select the new ttyS and you are done setting up multiple fax machines
52 Fax Dispatchbull Fax dispatch is a custom script that one can create for Hylafax to specify non-
standard delivery options (Standard is varspoolhylafaxrecvq)
bull If you want to have multiple fax destination folders for each fax you have (ttyS1ttyS14 ttyS15 etc)
bull Create Fax Dipatch file in etchylafax
touch etchylafaxFaxDispatch
bull Sample Fax Dispatch file might look like this httpwwwinfocoptercomknow-howhylafaxfax-dispatchhtml
bull Copy and past below to your etchylafaxFaxDispatch This will dispatch faxesto different folders based on device
bull Make sure you have created appropriate folders (In this case dept1 dept2 andchange device names to your names

53 FaxNotifybull When fax fails to send user gets an email notifying of a failure Default is to
just sent an email with a job number To make sure they get a copy of what theyactually sent we need to add FaxNotify to etchylafax
bull Create FaxNotify in etchylafax
bull Inside put
RETURNFILETYPE=pdf
54 View faxes through internet browserbull To do that install apache web server
apt-get updateapt-get install apache2
bull Now add a link to your faxes
cd varwwwln -s varspoolhylafaxrecvq fax
bull Now open a broswer and go to httplocalhostfax or by your ip addresshttp10101010fax

67 4 ports serial card more then 4 modem supportbull Therersquos really no limit to the number of serial cards Linux can support but
there is a kernel configuration parameter for the number of supported serialports(CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS)
bull To find out how many serial port your kernel is configured for do
dmesg |grep Serial
bull And look for line like
Serial 825016550 driver $Revision 190 $ 4 ports IRQ larrsharing enabled
bull Shows that the driver is compiled to support only 4 ports
bull I was getting following logs which I will include here for reference

Couldnrsquot register serial port 000005040 -28
shows that ttyS2 is on the motherboard ttyS0 S1 and S3 larrare
on the 9845 card The driver found the fourth port on the larr9845 card
but couldnrsquot use it because all four ports (ttyS0-ttyS3) were larralready
in use (thatrsquos what the -28 error means)

bull Above line will run the program every day at 0001 am Change the us-rlocalbinarchivepy to where you have downloaded the program Changevarspoolhylafaxrecvq to where your faxes are located Change tif to theextension you are using for storing your faxes
bull If you just need to run it once This command will do
python usrlocalbinarchivepy varspoolhylafaxrecvq tif
72 Send batch faxesbull To send multiple faxes first you need to create a file that will have fax numbers
per one line Type it or do a database query
1773123123413121231234
bull If you need to add 1 in front of the number you could use vim to do it with thiscode press ESC

35 Adding usersbull You need a user on your system
adduser dept1
bull Fill in the username and password etc
bull Then add user to hylafax First find out what is your new user UID
bull Type

5 Multiple Incoming Fax Lines
51 Multi port Serial PCI card ttySbull Therersquos really no limit to the number of serial cards Linux can support but
there is a kernel configuration parameter for the number of supported serialports(CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS)
bull Currently the limit in Debian supported ports is 4 (read on for more then 4 portsupport)
bull So if you have a 2 port serial card you want to add to your pc here is what youdo
bull If you connect more modems or when you buy a serial pci card you will want toknow which ttyS port they are using You can do it by
dmesg |grep tty
8
bull You should see something like
faxserver~ dmesg |grep ttySttyS0 at IO 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550AttyS14 at IO 0xdf08 (irq = 209) is a 16550AttyS15 at IO 0xdf10 (irq = 209) is a 16550A
bull If you installed another serial pci card (2 port or 4 port) you can see if it wasdetected by typing
lspci -v
This should list something like
000002000 Serial controller NetMos Technology PCI 9835 larrMulti-IO Controller (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [16550])

bull As you can see the IRQ should be the same as the one specified in dmesg
bull Install setserial This program will let you control serial port better
apt-get updateapt-get install setserial
bull Then try
setserial -g devttyS
bull If you donrsquot see a ttyS(ex ttyS14) in dev you will need to create ttyS14 device
ls devttyS
bull So in my case I am missing ttyS14 ttyS15 in dev folder
MAKEDEV ttyS14MAKEDEV ttyS15

bull Now run setserial -g devttyS again and you should see your new serial ports
bull Plug in your modems and Run
faxaddmodem
bull Select the new ttyS and you are done setting up multiple fax machines
52 Fax Dispatchbull Fax dispatch is a custom script that one can create for Hylafax to specify non-
standard delivery options (Standard is varspoolhylafaxrecvq)
bull If you want to have multiple fax destination folders for each fax you have (ttyS1ttyS14 ttyS15 etc)
bull Create Fax Dipatch file in etchylafax
touch etchylafaxFaxDispatch
bull Sample Fax Dispatch file might look like this httpwwwinfocoptercomknow-howhylafaxfax-dispatchhtml
bull Copy and past below to your etchylafaxFaxDispatch This will dispatch faxesto different folders based on device
bull Make sure you have created appropriate folders (In this case dept1 dept2 andchange device names to your names

53 FaxNotifybull When fax fails to send user gets an email notifying of a failure Default is to
just sent an email with a job number To make sure they get a copy of what theyactually sent we need to add FaxNotify to etchylafax
bull Create FaxNotify in etchylafax
bull Inside put

54 View faxes through internet browserbull To do that install apache web server
apt-get updateapt-get install apache2
bull Now add a link to your faxes
cd varwwwln -s varspoolhylafaxrecvq fax

67 4 ports serial card more then 4 modem supportbull Therersquos really no limit to the number of serial cards Linux can support but
there is a kernel configuration parameter for the number of supported serialports(CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS)
bull To find out how many serial port your kernel is configured for do
dmesg |grep Serial
bull And look for line like
Serial 825016550 driver $Revision 190 $ 4 ports IRQ larrsharing enabled
bull Shows that the driver is compiled to support only 4 ports

Couldnrsquot register serial port 000005040 -28
shows that ttyS2 is on the motherboard ttyS0 S1 and S3 larrare
on the 9845 card The driver found the fourth port on the larr9845 card
but couldnrsquot use it because all four ports (ttyS0-ttyS3) were larralready
in use (thatrsquos what the -28 error means)

bull Download the archivepy file to some folder I use usrlocalbin
bull Edit a cron job
crontab -e
bull Now set up the time it will run The extension it should use And a folder wherethe faxes are
1 0 python usrlocalbinarchivepy varspoolhylafax larrrecvq tif
bull Above line will run the program every day at 0001 am Change the us-rlocalbinarchivepy to where you have downloaded the program Changevarspoolhylafaxrecvq to where your faxes are located Change tif to theextension you are using for storing your faxes
bull If you just need to run it once This command will do
python usrlocalbinarchivepy varspoolhylafaxrecvq tif
72 Send batch faxesbull To send multiple faxes first you need to create a file that will have fax numbers
per one line Type it or do a database query
1773123123413121231234
bull If you need to add 1 in front of the number you could use vim to do it with thiscode press ESC
s^1g
bull This will replace ˆ(beginning of a line) with 1
bull After your file is ready and you have a pdf of what you want to send Issue thiscommand
sendfax -z batchfaxnumberscsv FILE2007NEWSpdf
bull To make only one modem be responsible for sending that job And to enableenough time for it to send we can issue this command which will use ttyS0modem and will expire in 24 hours

bull Yoursquoll then be asked to confirm the values that you entered and then the utilitywill query to modem to determine the fax classes that it supports
bull Even if your modem supports both Class 1 and Class 2 you should set it to Class1 for compatibility with all fax machines
bull You will then be asked for values specific to the modem Just press Enter toaccept the default values as they are a result of the modem query and the classyou selected Yoursquoll then be prompted to confirm these values by pressing Enter
bull The non-default scheduler values will then be displayed with a confirmationprompt The Area Code may not be correct If so answer No and correct anyerroneous values You may also want to increase the time value for Timeoutwhen converting PostScript documents if you fax long documents but you canjust press Enter to accept the default values for the rest of the values
bull Answer No when asked if you want to configure another modem
bull Accept the default Yes answer to run faxmodem on your newly configured mo-dem to verify settings Yoursquoll then be returned to the shell prompt
bull If you want to manually edit the file that contains these settings do so with thecommand
vi etchylafaxconfigttyS0
bull You have to run the faxaddmodem utility to create this file first though
bull Next wersquoll set up HylaFAX to run automatically when you boot the systemCheck the configuration file

21 Configure Incoming Settingsbull One last item that is to let HylaFAX know who is allowed to send faxes You can
use a modified subnet address to let everyone on your network submit faxes tothe server Edit the hostshfaxd file with the command
vi etchylafaxhostshfaxd
bull As an example if your using a subnet address for your network of 192168100enter the following line into the hostshfaxd file
19216810
bull Likewise if your using a subnet address of 1721600 your hostshfaxd file entrywould be
17230
bull You can enter as wide of a network address or multiple narrower address en-tries as yoursquod like If yoursquod like to restrict access to specific users you can entertheir individual IP addresses When done save the file and exit the editor
NOTE You will see the paths varspoolhylafax and var larrspoolhylafaxetc specified in HylaFAX documentation and larrutilities Do NOT edit the files in these directories larrThe files are duplicated in the etchylafax directory larrIf you ever want to manually edit the configuration files larr only edit the files in the etchylafax directory

71 Archive Faxesbull If you have a need to archive each fax by date there is a script that does just that
httpwwwhylafaxorgarchive2007-02msg00399php

bull Download the archivepy file to some folder I use usrlocalbin
bull Edit a cron job
crontab -e
bull Now set up the time it will run The extension it should use And a folder wherethe faxes are
1 0 python usrlocalbinarchivepy varspoolhylafax larrrecvq tif
bull Above line will run the program every day at 0001 am Change the us-rlocalbinarchivepy to where you have downloaded the program Changevarspoolhylafaxrecvq to where your faxes are located Change tif to theextension you are using for storing your faxes
bull If you just need to run it once This command will do
python usrlocalbinarchivepy varspoolhylafaxrecvq tif
72 Send batch faxesbull To send multiple faxes first you need to create a file that will have fax numbers
per one line Type it or do a database query
1773123123413121231234
bull If you need to add 1 in front of the number you could use vim to do it with thiscode press ESC
s^1g
bull This will replace ˆ(beginning of a line) with 1
bull After your file is ready and you have a pdf of what you want to send Issue thiscommand
sendfax -z batchfaxnumberscsv FILE2007NEWSpdf
bull To make only one modem be responsible for sending that job And to enableenough time for it to send we can issue this command which will use ttyS0modem and will expire in 24 hours

21 Configure Incoming Settingsbull One last item that is to let HylaFAX know who is allowed to send faxes You can
use a modified subnet address to let everyone on your network submit faxes tothe server Edit the hostshfaxd file with the command
vi etchylafaxhostshfaxd
bull As an example if your using a subnet address for your network of 192168100enter the following line into the hostshfaxd file
19216810
bull Likewise if your using a subnet address of 1721600 your hostshfaxd file entrywould be
17230
bull You can enter as wide of a network address or multiple narrower address en-tries as yoursquod like If yoursquod like to restrict access to specific users you can entertheir individual IP addresses When done save the file and exit the editor
NOTE You will see the paths varspoolhylafax and var larrspoolhylafaxetc specified in HylaFAX documentation and larrutilities Do NOT edit the files in these directories larrThe files are duplicated in the etchylafax directory larrIf you ever want to manually edit the configuration files larr only edit the files in the etchylafax directory
bull Reboot the system by typing reboot and yoursquoll have yourself a fax server(Rebootis not necessary Restart of hylafax would do just fine)
22 Fax Statusbull To see a status of a fax server Type
faxstat -s

31 LinuxYou can use Gfax or Kde Print Fax You install it Gfax by
apt-get updateapt-get install gfax
Then Go to Application then Office then Gfax
bull This needs to be tested but
Now i can do fax from OpenOffice TextEditor etc
1 Install GFax from apt-get install gfax2 Configure GFax with your Fax Server (HylaFAX) I hope you larr
know how to do itOk you can test your GFax configuration by test send a larr
fax with Text Editor (Applications -Accessories)3 To make it work with openoffice run usrlibopenoffice larr
programspadmin (with root access) youdo sudo -i or whatever
4 You add fax pdf converter from spadmin GUI fill the larrcommand with gfax (TMP)
5 Thatrsquos it you save the configuration6 Try fax an openoffice document
1st time i try fax with Fax Printer it hangthen i tried fax with PDF Converter and set the PDF Folder larr
then after fax i close the GFax and nothang
32 Windowsbull On windows you would use this Win print Hylafax software You can download
it at httpwinprinthylafaxsourceforgenet
bull To get the addressbook working with winprinthylfax you can setup folder calledhylafaxaddressbook and i int create 2 empty files called namestxt and num-berstxt

bull Final Modem Dial Cmd on the system could look like this
ModemDialCmd ATDT9Ws
bull 9 says dial 9 comma says wait W says wait for dial tone s says dial thisnumber
bull Also see ModemAtCommandSet
bull If you experience no dial tone in your logs try something like
ModemDialCmd ATX3DT8s
AT - picks up the phone X3- disables dial tone check DT tells it to use tone dial8 then bdquo for wait then the phone number
35 Adding usersbull You need a user on your system
adduser dept1
bull Fill in the username and password etc
bull Then add user to hylafax First find out what is your new user UID
bull Type
cat etcgroup
bull Find your user It should be something like dept1x1001 so this user UID is1001
bull Now tell hylafax about it
7
faxadduser -p password -u 1001 username
bull To see what users are already in do

5 Multiple Incoming Fax Lines
51 Multi port Serial PCI card ttySbull Therersquos really no limit to the number of serial cards Linux can support but
there is a kernel configuration parameter for the number of supported serialports(CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS)
bull Currently the limit in Debian supported ports is 4 (read on for more then 4 portsupport)
bull So if you have a 2 port serial card you want to add to your pc here is what youdo
bull If you connect more modems or when you buy a serial pci card you will want toknow which ttyS port they are using You can do it by
dmesg |grep tty
8
bull You should see something like
faxserver~ dmesg |grep ttySttyS0 at IO 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550AttyS14 at IO 0xdf08 (irq = 209) is a 16550AttyS15 at IO 0xdf10 (irq = 209) is a 16550A
bull If you installed another serial pci card (2 port or 4 port) you can see if it wasdetected by typing
lspci -v
This should list something like
000002000 Serial controller NetMos Technology PCI 9835 larrMulti-IO Controller (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [16550])

bull As you can see the IRQ should be the same as the one specified in dmesg
bull Install setserial This program will let you control serial port better
apt-get updateapt-get install setserial
bull Then try
setserial -g devttyS
bull If you donrsquot see a ttyS(ex ttyS14) in dev you will need to create ttyS14 device
ls devttyS
bull So in my case I am missing ttyS14 ttyS15 in dev folder
MAKEDEV ttyS14MAKEDEV ttyS15

bull Now run setserial -g devttyS again and you should see your new serial ports

41 Done with simple setupDone Everything beyond this point is for setting up multiple incomingoutgoingfax modems
5 Multiple Incoming Fax Lines
51 Multi port Serial PCI card ttySbull Therersquos really no limit to the number of serial cards Linux can support but
there is a kernel configuration parameter for the number of supported serialports(CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS)
bull Currently the limit in Debian supported ports is 4 (read on for more then 4 portsupport)
bull So if you have a 2 port serial card you want to add to your pc here is what youdo
bull If you connect more modems or when you buy a serial pci card you will want toknow which ttyS port they are using You can do it by
dmesg |grep tty
8
bull You should see something like
faxserver~ dmesg |grep ttySttyS0 at IO 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550AttyS14 at IO 0xdf08 (irq = 209) is a 16550AttyS15 at IO 0xdf10 (irq = 209) is a 16550A
bull If you installed another serial pci card (2 port or 4 port) you can see if it wasdetected by typing
lspci -v
This should list something like
000002000 Serial controller NetMos Technology PCI 9835 larrMulti-IO Controller (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [16550])
Subsystem LSI Logic Symbios Logic 2S (16C550 UART)Flags medium devsel IRQ 209IO ports at df08 [size=8]IO ports at df10 [size=8]IO ports at df18 [size=8]IO ports at df20 [size=8]IO ports at df28 [size=8]IO ports at df30 [size=16]
bull As you can see the IRQ should be the same as the one specified in dmesg
bull Install setserial This program will let you control serial port better
apt-get updateapt-get install setserial
bull Then try
setserial -g devttyS
bull If you donrsquot see a ttyS(ex ttyS14) in dev you will need to create ttyS14 device
ls devttyS
bull So in my case I am missing ttyS14 ttyS15 in dev folder
MAKEDEV ttyS14MAKEDEV ttyS15
9
bull Now run setserial -g devttyS again and you should see your new serial ports
bull Plug in your modems and Run
faxaddmodem
bull Select the new ttyS and you are done setting up multiple fax machines
52 Fax Dispatchbull Fax dispatch is a custom script that one can create for Hylafax to specify non-
standard delivery options (Standard is varspoolhylafaxrecvq)
bull If you want to have multiple fax destination folders for each fax you have (ttyS1ttyS14 ttyS15 etc)
bull Create Fax Dipatch file in etchylafax
touch etchylafaxFaxDispatch
bull Sample Fax Dispatch file might look like this httpwwwinfocoptercomknow-howhylafaxfax-dispatchhtml
bull Copy and past below to your etchylafaxFaxDispatch This will dispatch faxesto different folders based on device
bull Make sure you have created appropriate folders (In this case dept1 dept2 andchange device names to your names

53 FaxNotifybull When fax fails to send user gets an email notifying of a failure Default is to
just sent an email with a job number To make sure they get a copy of what theyactually sent we need to add FaxNotify to etchylafax
bull Create FaxNotify in etchylafax
bull Inside put

54 View faxes through internet browserbull To do that install apache web server
apt-get updateapt-get install apache2
bull Now add a link to your faxes

shows that ttyS2 is on the motherboard ttyS0 S1 and S3 larrare
on the 9845 card The driver found the fourth port on the larr9845 card

5 Multiple Incoming Fax Lines
51 Multi port Serial PCI card ttySbull Therersquos really no limit to the number of serial cards Linux can support but
there is a kernel configuration parameter for the number of supported serialports(CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS)
bull Currently the limit in Debian supported ports is 4 (read on for more then 4 portsupport)
bull So if you have a 2 port serial card you want to add to your pc here is what youdo
bull If you connect more modems or when you buy a serial pci card you will want toknow which ttyS port they are using You can do it by
dmesg |grep tty
8
bull You should see something like
faxserver~ dmesg |grep ttySttyS0 at IO 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550AttyS14 at IO 0xdf08 (irq = 209) is a 16550AttyS15 at IO 0xdf10 (irq = 209) is a 16550A
bull If you installed another serial pci card (2 port or 4 port) you can see if it wasdetected by typing
lspci -v
This should list something like
000002000 Serial controller NetMos Technology PCI 9835 larrMulti-IO Controller (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [16550])
Subsystem LSI Logic Symbios Logic 2S (16C550 UART)Flags medium devsel IRQ 209IO ports at df08 [size=8]IO ports at df10 [size=8]IO ports at df18 [size=8]IO ports at df20 [size=8]IO ports at df28 [size=8]IO ports at df30 [size=16]
bull As you can see the IRQ should be the same as the one specified in dmesg
bull Install setserial This program will let you control serial port better
apt-get updateapt-get install setserial
bull Then try
setserial -g devttyS
bull If you donrsquot see a ttyS(ex ttyS14) in dev you will need to create ttyS14 device
ls devttyS
bull So in my case I am missing ttyS14 ttyS15 in dev folder
MAKEDEV ttyS14MAKEDEV ttyS15

bull Now run setserial -g devttyS again and you should see your new serial ports
bull Plug in your modems and Run
faxaddmodem
bull Select the new ttyS and you are done setting up multiple fax machines
52 Fax Dispatchbull Fax dispatch is a custom script that one can create for Hylafax to specify non-
standard delivery options (Standard is varspoolhylafaxrecvq)
bull If you want to have multiple fax destination folders for each fax you have (ttyS1ttyS14 ttyS15 etc)
bull Create Fax Dipatch file in etchylafax
touch etchylafaxFaxDispatch
bull Sample Fax Dispatch file might look like this httpwwwinfocoptercomknow-howhylafaxfax-dispatchhtml
bull Copy and past below to your etchylafaxFaxDispatch This will dispatch faxesto different folders based on device
bull Make sure you have created appropriate folders (In this case dept1 dept2 andchange device names to your names

53 FaxNotifybull When fax fails to send user gets an email notifying of a failure Default is to
just sent an email with a job number To make sure they get a copy of what theyactually sent we need to add FaxNotify to etchylafax

71 Archive Faxesbull If you have a need to archive each fax by date there is a script that does just that
httpwwwhylafaxorgarchive2007-02msg00399php

bull Download the archivepy file to some folder I use usrlocalbin
bull Edit a cron job
crontab -e
bull Now set up the time it will run The extension it should use And a folder wherethe faxes are
1 0 python usrlocalbinarchivepy varspoolhylafax larrrecvq tif
bull Above line will run the program every day at 0001 am Change the us-rlocalbinarchivepy to where you have downloaded the program Changevarspoolhylafaxrecvq to where your faxes are located Change tif to theextension you are using for storing your faxes
bull If you just need to run it once This command will do
python usrlocalbinarchivepy varspoolhylafaxrecvq tif
72 Send batch faxesbull To send multiple faxes first you need to create a file that will have fax numbers
per one line Type it or do a database query
1773123123413121231234
bull If you need to add 1 in front of the number you could use vim to do it with thiscode press ESC
s^1g
bull This will replace ˆ(beginning of a line) with 1
bull After your file is ready and you have a pdf of what you want to send Issue thiscommand
sendfax -z batchfaxnumberscsv FILE2007NEWSpdf
bull To make only one modem be responsible for sending that job And to enableenough time for it to send we can issue this command which will use ttyS0modem and will expire in 24 hours

67 4 ports serial card more then 4 modem supportbull Therersquos really no limit to the number of serial cards Linux can support but
there is a kernel configuration parameter for the number of supported serialports(CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS)

shows that ttyS2 is on the motherboard ttyS0 S1 and S3 larrare
on the 9845 card The driver found the fourth port on the larr9845 card
