Receiving Faxes

To receive faxes with the EIM, simply change the online attribute to "1" in the receive queue defined in your local.config file.

<queue online="1">
  <type>receive</type>
  <path>\{default}\Inbox</path>
  <notification></notification>
</queue>

Once this field has been changed, simply restart your EIM service and faxes will be received and placed in the location defined in the <path> element. Each fax receive will be written to the <path> in the form {id}.fax, where {id} is the unique fax job id assigned by etherFAX. The received attachment file will be placed in an Image directory relative to the <path> location defined.

Each received fax file will appear as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<FaxReceive xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
