Configure Fax Messaging Settings for a User

Fax messaging allows a user to receive direct inbound faxes from their voicemail service.

Before you begin

The following must be considered before configuring this feature:

  • An analog telephone adapter (ATA) is required to convert the fax signals from standard telephone signals to VoIP. For more information on Cisco ATA devices and installation, see Get Started with Your Cisco ATA 191 and 192 and Improve Fax Transmission with Your ATA.

  • Faxes and voicemail messages are located in a shared storage area with a capacity of 35 MB, or about 1000 pages of fax messages. Make sure users are aware of the space available, and the need to have space for new fax messages and archive wisely.

  • Fax messages are stored for an unlimited amount of time.

  • SuperG3 fax machines (high-speed fax or 33.6 kbps fax) must be configured to transmit and receive at 14.4 kbps. In cases where a SuperG3 fax machine communicates with a non-SuperG3 machine, fax calls may complete properly because the lower speed fax machine causes the SuperG3 to throttle down to a lower speed. If the machine speed cannot be configured, it may not function properly on Webex Calling.
