3 INSTALLATION The FAX server can be installed from the FAX server CDROM delivered with your ECS or from an archive available in the ECS support web site. INSTALLATION FROM THE CDROM Extended communication server PREMIUM edition Insert the CD-ROM in the Appliance CD drive. Then log on the ECS as superadmin and click on "Appliance / Update / Update from CD-ROM/USB". The service pack installation will proceed automatically. Extended communication server COMPACT edition Insert the CD-ROM in a USB CD drive connected to your ECS. Then log on the ECS as superadmin and click on "Appliance / Update / Update from CD-ROM/USB". The service pack installation will proceed automatically. INSTALLATION FROM THE ECS SUPPORT WEB SITE - Connect to the ECS support web site then go to PATCH/MODULE / Linux range. Then download the FAX server archive available in this page. - Unzip the downloaded file in the root directory of a USB key (Note: With WinZip, the option "TAR file smart CR/LF" option must be unchecked). - Connect the USB key to the ECS. - In the administration interface in the menu "Appliance / Updates", click on "Update from CDROM/USB". The service pack installation will proceed automatically. You can check the patches installation in "Appliance / Updates / Analyse updates already performed". Note: the installation can last about 10 minutes Once the installation as been confirmed, reboot the ECS to terminate the installation. CONFIGURATION OXO Side This chapter is applicable with OmniPCX Office release 700 and higher. All Rights Reserved Alcatel-Lucent AL USAA ed.01 Page 3

Then log on the ECS as superadmin and click on "Appliance / Update / Update from CD-ROM/USB". The service pack installation will proceed automatically.

4 ECS fax server needs a trunk SIP between OXO and ECS to send and receive fax. In the following OXO trunk SIP configuration, we supposed that the OXO has already and properly been configured (analog access, terminals ) Trunk SIP Configuration on OXO Connect with OMC on your OXO Hardware and Limits\ LAN/IP Configuration - Change the default router address by the IP address of the ECS Voice over IP\VoIP: Parameters - General tab: o Number of VoIP-trunk channels: select at least 2 channels o VoIP Protocol: SIP - Gateway tab: o End of dialing table used selected External lines - List of Accesses o Select VoIP access and click on details button o Click on Link Category button LC No norm.: 12 LC No Rest.: 16 Voice/Non V. norm. 2 Voice /Non V. rest. 2 Click on OK o Public Trunk not selected o Click on OK - List of trunk groups o Select a free index (no trunk add on it) and click on Details button Add the VoIP access Click on link category and set LC No norm.

6 The OXO is now configured. ECS Fax server configuration Demonstration mode Prefix: Enter the prefix you choose in the Public numbering plan/secondary trunk group (The substitution field must be equal to the ECS user Internal fax number ) Note: The FAX server is by default in demo mode. That means you can try the solution which is totally functional with 2 channels. The main restriction of the demo mode is the word Evaluation written on all sent and received faxes. On the Administration interface: - Go in Service management > Fax Server - Fill: o Default recipient address mail (it must be a valid address) o SIP gateway IP address: IP address of the OXO VoIP card - Listening port must be Some options allow the administrator to manage dedicated channels for sending or reception as well as the transmission attempts. Note: The channels not dedicated to sending or reception are mixed by default. All Rights Reserved Alcatel-Lucent AL USAA ed.01 Page 6

10 COMPATIBILITY with VoIP SIP service It is not possible to create simultaneously 2 SIP trunks with different properties between the OXO and the ECS using the same IP address. So it is not possible to have fax server and VoIP SIP activated on the same ECS IP. Here are below the supported configurations: Configuration 1: VoIP SIP service on the ECS WAN This is the recommended configuration because it allows the home worker configuration.

So it is not possible to have fax server and VoIP SIP activated on the same ECS IP.
