Receive Faxes by Email

Yeastar P-Series Software Edition provides fax to email feature that allows you to receive faxes as PDF by email. This topic describes how to receive faxes by email.

Prerequisites

  • Make sure the PBX system email works, or the PBX cannot forward the received faxes to an extension user's email.
  • Make sure there is a valid email address assigned to extension.
  • Optional: Customize the fax email template.

Procedure

  2. If you receive faxes through a dedicated line, go to Default Destination section.
    1. In the Default Destination drop-down list, select Fax To Email.
    2. Select an extension user to receive faxes by email.

  3. If you receive faxes through a shared line, go to Fax Detection section.
    1. In the Fax Destination drop-down list, select Fax To Email.
    2. In the Extension's Email drop-down list, select an extension user to receive faxes by email.

  4. Click Save and Apply.
