Configuring FortiVoice to send faxes
- Go to Call Feature > Fax > Sending Rule and click New.
- Enter a Name and click Enable.
- Under Dialed Number Match, click New.
- Enter a Match Pattern number. This is the extension number pattern in your dial plan that can match many different numbers for sending faxes.
The following pattern-matching syntax is supported, in order to match a wide range of potential numbers:
Syntax |
Description |
---|---|
X |
Matches any single digit from 0 to 9. |
Z |
Matches any single digit from 1 to 9. |
N |
Matches any single digit from 2 to 9. |
[ ] (square brackets) |
Matches any digits in the brackets. For a range of numbers, use a dash. Example: [15-7] In this example, the pattern matches 1, 5, 6, and 7. |
. (period) |
Acts as a wildcard that matches any digit and allows for any number of digits to be dialed. Example of a pattern-matching rule: XX. In this example, the system looks for a dialed number match that has three or more digits. |
! (exclamation point) |
Acts as a wildcard that matches any digit (including no digits) and allows for any number of digits to be dialed. Example of a pattern-matching rule: XX! In this example, the system looks for a dialed number match that has two or more digits. |
- Enter any required Modification settings, such as stripping or appending prefixes or postfixes to the number pattern, and click Create.
