Technical Overview

Apps

innovaphone-fax

This app is provided for the users to send fax documents and view or download received documents. The app reads the argument mailbox=<sip name> to work with the given account instead of the user logged in. It uses the com.innovaphone.search API to search for contacts with FAX numbers.

Known issues

The Fax App currently works only in the root node. More specific, for incoming calls it will search for users using numbers in root node context. E.g. if you have a Fax-object (e.g. number 9) and a User-object (e.g. number 20) both in a node different from the root node (e.g. node number 80), incoming fax calls will need to be directed to 98020 (in order for the Fax-App to find the corresponding user in the PBX). If possible, do not user the Fax-App for the moment in other nodes than the root - node. As a workaround for external calls, you can map incoming CDPNs to add the node prefix in the number.
