Sebenarnya mengapa sih repot-repot membuat faxserver?
Selama ini kita mengenal mesin fax untuk mengirim dan menerima fax. Tergantung merek dan tipenya, harga mesin fax dapat mencapai jutaan rupiah.
Ada beberapa kendala bila menggunakan mesin fax konvensional:
Mesin harus rutin di maintenance agar dapat dioperasikan dengan lancar (kertas tidak macet, hasil fax tetap jelas, dll).
Dokumen harus di print dahulu bila ingin di fax, dan seringkali kiriman fax tersebut kurang bagus.
Hasil fax harus difoto-kopi dahulu bila ingin disimpan lama, sebab hasil fax akan pudar bila terlalu lama disimpan.
Perlu usaha khusus untuk mengarsip fax-fax yang dikirim dan masuk.
Perlu personel khusus untuk mendistribusikan fax-fax yang masuk.
Oleh karenanya, kini banyak perusahan yang telah menerapkan solusi FaxServer, karena memberikan keunggulan-keunggulan berikut ini:
Tidak perlu maintenance khusus, karena menggunakan sebuah PC sebagai servernya.
Dokumen dapat langsung di fax ke tujuan tanpa harus di print dahulu. Hemat kertas, tinta, dan fax terkirim dengan kualitas seperti pada di layar komputer.
Fax yang masuk disimpan dalam bentuk file PDF di komputer, sehingga terjamin.
Fax terkirim/diterima langsung tersimpan dalam folder-folder khusus dalam bentuk file PDF.
Fax yang masuk dapat secara otomatis dikirim melalui email.
Feature-feature Faxserver ini:
Murni menggunakan software OpenSource.
Cukup menggunakan PC dan fax modem external biasa.
Multi user.
Dapat mengunakan web based fax client ataupun windows client.
Konfirmasi send/receive fax lewat email.
Hal-hal yang diperlukan:
PC/Notebook yang telah terinstall Ubuntu 7.10
Modem External
Mesin Fax untuk testing
Koneksi internet / DVD Repo Ubuntu
Semangat tinggi untuk belajar dan mencoba :)
Secara garis besar, langkah-langkahnya adalah:
Install Ubuntu
Pasang Modem
Install dan setup Hylafax
Install paket-paket Ubuntu yang dibutuhkan
Install dan setup Avantfax
Testing kirim/terima fax
Baiklah kita mulai, install Ubuntu seperti biasa. Pasang modem ke PC, sambungkan ke line telpon dan hidupkan.
Selanjutnya kita mulai install-install. Bisa menggunakan synaptic ataupun apt-get dari console, terserah sesuai kebiasaan kita. Di dalam panduan ini dicantumkan menggunakan apt-get.
A. Install dan Setup Hylafax
A1. Kita install Postfix dulu. Mengapa? Sebab kalau tidak hylafax akan menginstall pula
Exim mailserver, kalau kita familiar sih tidak apa-apa.
| # apt-get install postfix |
Setup saja postfix seperti biasa/default. Secara default postfix sudah dapat mengirim
email.
A2. Install hylafax:
| # apt-get install hylafax-server |
A3. Setup hylafax. Pertanyaan-pertanyaan sebagian besar dapat menggunakan nilai
default saja (tekan enter saja), kecuali yang berkaitan dengan nomor telpon dan device
modem. Modem kita biasanya akan terdeteksi sebagai /dev/ttyS0 (serial pertama)
| # faxsetup |

Restarting HylaFAX server processes.
Should I restart the HylaFAX server processes [yes]?
/etc/init.d/hylafax start
Not starting HylaFAX daemons since they are already running.
You do not appear to have any modems configured for use. Modems are configured for use with HylaFAX with the faxaddmodem(8) command.
Do you want to run faxaddmodem to configure a modem [yes]?
Serial port that modem is connected to [ttyS0]? Hmm, there does not appear to be an fuser command on your machine.
This means that I am unable to ensure that all processes using the modem have been killed. I will keep going, but beware that you may have competition for the modem.
Ok, time to setup a configuration file for the modem. The manual page config(5) may be useful during this process. Also be aware that at any time you can safely interrupt this procedure.
Reading scheduler config file /var/spool/hylafax/etc/config.

Your facsimile phone number (5551234) does not agree with your
country code (1) or area code (021). The number
should be a fully qualified international dialing number of the form:
+1 021
Spaces, hyphens, and periods can be included for legibility. For example,
+1.021.555.1212
is a possible phone number (using your country and area codes).
The non-default server configuration parameters are:
CountryCode: 1
AreaCode: 021
FAXNumber: 5551234
LongDistancePrefix: 1
InternationalPrefix: 011
DialStringRules: etc/dialrules
SessionTracing: 11

TagLineFont: etc/lutRS18.pcf
TagLineFormat: "From %%l|%c|Page %%P of %%T"
MaxRecvPages: 25
Are these ok [yes]?
Now we are going to probe the tty port to figure out the type of modem that is attached. This takes a few seconds, so be patient.
Note that if you do not have the modem cabled to the port, or the modem is turned off, this may hang (just go and cable up the modem or turn it on, or whatever).
Probing for best speed to talk to modem: 38400 OK.
About fax classes:
The difference between fax classes has to do with how HylaFAX interacts with the modem and the fax protocol features that are used when sending or receiving faxes. One class isn't inherently better than another;
however, one probably will suit a user's needs better than others.
Class 1 relies on HylaFAX to perform the bulk of the fax protocol.
Class 2 relies on the modem to perform the bulk of the fax protocol.
Class 2.0 is similar to Class 2 but may include more features.
Class 1.0 is similar to Class 1 but may add V.34-fax capability.
Class 2.1 is similar to Class 2.0 but adds V.34-fax capability.
HylaFAX generally will have more features when using Class 1/1.0 than when using most modems' Class 2 or Class 2.0 implementations. Generally any problems encountered in Class 1/1.0 can be resolved by modifications to HylaFAX, but usually any problems encountered in Class 2/2.0/2.1 will require the modem manufacturer to resolve it.
Use Class 1 unless you have a good reason not to.
Hmm, this looks like a Class 1 modem.
Product code (ATI0) is "T38FAX".
Other information (ATI3) is "Vyacheslav Frolov".
DTE-DCE flow control scheme [default]?
Modem manufacturer is "Vyacheslav Frolov".

A4. Cek modem sudah terdetect oleh hylafax:
| # /etc/init.d/hylafax restart
* Stopping HylaFAX faxq [ OK ]
* Starting HylaFAX faxq [ OK ] |
| # faxstat -a -s
HylaFAX scheduler on voyager2: Running
Modem ttyS0 (5551234): Running and idle
Modem ttyS1 (5554321): Running and idle |
A5. Create Admin dan User. Hal ini diperlukan bila nanti kita akan menggunakan
program fax dari network yang memerlukan login.
| # faxadduser -a 123456 -p 123456 -u 100 admin (123456 adalah passwordnya)
|
| # faxadduser -u 101 userfax
|
B. Install dan Setup Paket-paket yang dibutuhkan
Cukup banyak paket-paket yang dibutuhkan dan ada beberapa paket yang memerlukan setup lebih lanjut.
B1.
| # apt-get install apache2 apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils apache2.2-
common libapache2-mod-php5 libmagic-dev php5-gd php5-cli php5-mysql php5-
common php-pear php5 php5-dev php-soap mysql-server imagemagick libtiff4
libtiff4-dev netpbm libungif4g a2ps |
Ketika ditanya, berikan password untuk user root mysql.
B2.
| # pear install MDB2 mail mail_mime |
B3.
| # pear install pear/MDB2#MySQL |
B4.
| # pecl install fileinfo |
B5. Restart Apache:
| # /etc/init.d/apache2 restart |
C. Install dan Setup Avantfax
C1. Download paket Avantfax terbaru dari http://www.avantfax.com
C2. Extract filenya dan setup:
| # tar zxf avantfax-3.0.2.tgz
# cd avantfax-3.0.3
# mv avantfax /var/www/ |
C3. Edit file setup.sh dan sesuaikan dengan kondisi Ubuntu kita:
- Ubah baris chown apache.apache menjadi chown www-data.www-data
C4. Jalankan file setup.sh tersebut:
| # ./setup.sh |
| Creating AvantFAX database
Enter MySQL root password: (if none, press ENTER)
Enter password:
Tables_in_avantfax
AddressBook
AddressBookEmail
AddressBookFAX
DIDRoute
DistroList
FaxArchive
FaxCategory
Modems
SysLog
UserAccount
UserPasswords
|
Pastikan tidak ada error. Bila ada, betulkan dan jalankan kembali.
C5. Masukkan cronjob ini ke crontab root:
| # crontab -e
# runs once an hour to update the phone book
0 * * * * /var/www/avantfax/includes/phb.php
# runs once a day to remove old files
0 0 * * * /var/www/avantfax/includes/remold.php |
C6. Setup Avantfax lewat Web interface. Hidupkan web browser dan buka http://localhost/avantfax/admin
Kita akan melihat layar login (username standard: admin, passwordnya: password):
Pada pertama kali login ini kita akan diminta untuk segera mengganti password admin:
Setelah login, lihat admin pertama kita tidak memiliki info apapun, oleh karena itu segeralah kita membuat user baru dengan mengklik menu New User. Berikan ia hak-hak administrasi. Tuliskan
pula email accountnya ke user linux.
Selanjutnya yang juga penting dan wajib adalah mensetup modem di Avantfax. Klik menu Configure Modems.
Bila modem kita adalah /dev/ttyS0, maka cukup dituliskan ttyS0. Alias modem pilih identifikasi terserah kita saja, misalnya: modem1. Contact dikosongkan saja dulu.
Bila sudah tersetel user dan modem, maka kita sudah bisa login dari layar depan Avantfax, yaitu: http://localhost/avantfax
Selanjutnya silahkan dicoba kirim/terima fax. Bila sudah ada fax masuk, maka di Inbox Avantfax kita akan terlihat adanya fax masuk.
D. Troubleshooting
Kita dapat memonitor proses kirim/terima fax dari /var/log/syslog. Dengan demikian kita bisa mengetahui apa kesalahan apa, misalnya busy tone, dll.
Seperti di bawah ini bila kita mengirim fax, akan terlihat:
D1.
| # tail -f /var/log/syslog
