Axon is a virtual PBX for Windows or Linux designed to manage calls. Axon is a very easy PBX with support for T.38 fax calls. You can download it from our website or from NCH Software .

Example: AXON PBX operates at 192.168.0.4:5061 and Fax Voip operates at 192.168.0.2:5070. And we want to configure Fax Voip as an extension to AXON PBX with internal number 101. We also have our SIP provider: sip.provider.com. All calls from Fax Voip starting with “00” should be roted to provider via AXON PBX, all calls from provider should be roted to Fax Voip via AXON PBX. The call from Fax Voip to Number “101” should be roted to another Fax Voip line via AXON PBX (test). The picture below illustrates the basic using of Fax Voip with AXON PBX.

Comments about using Fax Voip with AXON PBX
- To do outgoing calls from Fax Voip, you need to create a job for your fax program to dial number “00XXXXXXXXXX” and send a fax. Fax Voip operates as an extension 101 of AXON PBX and do calls according to dial-plan “main”, according dial-rule for “00” to “provider”.
- Accepting incoming calls from external provider to Fax Voip: as the call is comming to “Provider” line in AXON PBX, the AXON PBX redirects the call to Extension 101 (to Fax Voip). Begining from Fax Voip version 2.0.0, stable SIP registration is supported, so you no need to provide static route to Fax Voip to operate with Incoming Calls.
- If your fax program have 2 lines you can do a test call from one line to another line using AXON PBX. Do the test call from one line to number “101”. The call will be redirected to another Fax Voip line. If the another fax line is in the “autoanswer” mode, the fax call will be answered.
- If you have problems with t38-faxing using this construction, you can try to do some steps. If there are problems with AXON PBX, you can try: 1) to provide external ip-address for your computer 2) to provide DMZ for the computer where Fax Voip installed. 3) To install AXON PBX to another computer. The behaviour of t38-faxing depens on your SIP-provider, your sip and network environment, model of your router, and, of course, your sip provider must have a support for t38 fax protocol.
- If you have problems with incoming faxes (no fax tone, when dialing to Fax Voip from external SIP Network), using Fax Voip with AXON PBX, as for incoming fax calls from external SIP Network to Fax Voip, it is important to check "Use static IP address and static mapped ports" option in the AXON PBX in the "Network Settings" panel and enter "External SIP port" and "External RTP port starting from..." values. No need to enter your "Public IP address" here. You should also provide DMZ for computer with Fax Voip.
