Fax Server Setup Guide for Linux environment

Http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/30318.html "> Fax Server" is a web-based client/server fax system in which server-side software provides shared fax functionality to network users, The client software allows you to send faxes directly to your terminal, just as easily as sending emails or file printing. Below, small make up to lead us to set up a fax server together, hope to be able to be helpful to everybody friend.

I. INTRODUCTION

The configuration described below uses HylaFAX 4.0p2.rjc11, which runs on top of Mandrake7.1. On the server side, the HylaFAX consists of three daemons:

FAXQ: Main service procedure

Hfaxd: Managing Network Connections

Faxgetty: Managing sessions between modems

The programs that run on the client are as follows (these programs can also run on the server):

SendFax: Send Fax

Faxstat: Checking fax queues

FAXRM: Deletes a work from the queue.

The related configuration file is in the/var/spool/fax/etc/folder.

II. Installation

I recommend installing the following packages (all of which are included in Mandrake 7.1):

Ghostscript Ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/pub/ghost/aladdin

Libtiff Ftp://rufus.w3.org/linux/redhat

These resources can also be obtained from the official website http://www.hylafax.org/links.html. Installation of HylaFAX requires the following RPM packages:

RPM-IVH HYLAFAX-COMMON-4.0PL2.RJC11-3MDK

RPM-IVH HYLAFAX-CLIENT-4.0PL2.RJC11-3MDK
