Membangun FaxServer di SME Server

Hari gini pakai pakai Fax machine???
Hari Gini masih boros kertas ??????
CD

gitu lah kali ledekan untuk yang masih mengunakan fax machine dan kertas fax.

Coretan kali ini tentang membangun faxserver di SME dengan software Hylafax-4.X.X
yang bisa diunduh di http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver//releases/7.3/smecontribs/i386/RPMS/hylafax-4.4.4-1.el4.sme.i386.rpm.

selanjutnya jalankan perintah ini
"yum install smeserver-hylafax --enablerepo=smecontribs"

Pastikan modemnya terpasang di serial port (COM1) dan dalam keadaan menyala.
Jalankan perintah berikut
"/usr/sbin/faxsetup"
Dan jawab semua pertanyaan yang dipersyaratkan, biarkan default (tekan enter saja) jika anda tidak memahami.

Yang terpenting modem port nya mengunakan /dev/ttyS0.
anda dapat melakukan perubahan settingan ini nanti dengan perintah "pico /etc/hylafax/etc/config.ttyS0"


Setelah itu lakukan perintah
"signal-event post-upgrade" dan " signal-event reboot"

dan untuk mengunakan mailtofax (mengirim fax lewat email)
edit file berikut "/var/spool/hylafax/etc/mailfax" dan rubah baris berikut
/usr/bin/faxmail -f Helvetica-Bold | /usr/bin/sendfax\ "
dengan

/usr/bin/faxmail -f Helvetica-Bold \


Buat juga satu user fax untuk client dengan perintah
faxadduser -p password username


dan anda sudah mempunyai faxserver. dimana hal ini akan menghemat kertas dan efisien dikarenakan mengirim dan mengambil fax bisa lewat PC.
Semua fax akan masuk ke user faxmaster
dan semua user bisa mengirim email lewat thunderbird or outlook express dengan format address "nama@nomortelpontujuan.fax". dan dengan menyertakan dokumen dalam format PDF, TIFF dan POSTSCRIPT.

Selamat Mencoba.
