Configurator Procedure for Configuring the Voice/Fax Switch Module

There are two egress table entries assigned to a voice/fax switch module, one for voice and the other for fax. They are both configured for the same slot (lim) and channel number, but they have different egress phone numbers. A manipulation string is added to the egress phone number for the FAX port. To connect to this FAX port, the string "i1" must be entered. If the egress manipulation string is left empty, the voice port will be selected.

Since the voice/fax switch module supports only FXS interfaces, the use of the manipulation string in the egress table does not cause any problems. Usually the manipulation string is used to forward digits to the interface, but in the case of FXS or fax, it is meaningless.

Example:

To configure the voice and FAX port configuration for a voice/fax switch module installed in limb-1, use the following Configurator example procedure. This example will configure a voice number of "1111" and a fax number of "2222":

  1. Select Configure, Voice, and Channels from the navigation window.

    2. You will see the Voice Channels window:

  2. At the top of the window, click on Egress (Incoming) Profiles. You will see the Voice Egress (Incoming) Profiles window:

  3. Click on Modify for the profile you wish to change (1-32). You will see the Modifying a Voice Egress (Incoming) Profile window:

  4. Configure the voice channels for "b1"
  5. Configure the voice port for phone number "1111".
  6. Click on Save. A "Command Successful" message appears.
To Configure the FAX port, use the following Configurator procedure:
  1. Select Configure, Voice, and Channels from the navigation window.

    2. You will see the Voice Channels window:

  2. At the top of the window, click on Egress (Incoming) Profiles. You will see the Voice Egress (Incoming) Profiles window:

  3. Click on Modify for the profile you wish to change (1-32) This should be a different profile than the one chosen for the voice port configuration. You will see the Modifying a Voice Egress (Incoming) Profile window:

  4. Configure the Voice Channels for "b1"
