This is not a question of settings. You must decide yourself what to
do and there are various options. Asterisk is only responsible for
the transport.<br>
<br>
You need to look at the following tasks:<br>
- get the file or files into the asterisk box<br>
- convert to a faxable tiff format<br>
- generate a call file and put the tiff file where it belongs (but
there are other methods)<br>
- get fax report<br>
<br>
Of course, at first you must configure Asterisk to accept
facsimiles, which depends on which technologies you need. But
everything is nicely documented.<br>
