Lessons learned: Faxes? - Ultimate Communications

Ok this will be the short version, the longer version will follow as soon as I have time to write a longer more in detail post on how we actually solved the fax problem.

The thing is that Lync does in fact support faxes the problem is that it doesn?t work. Great huh? Open-mouthed smile

Ok so you can set up a analog gateway and then create a analog device and set it to Set-CsAnalogDevice -Identity <UserIdParameter> -AnalogFax $true and the benefit from this is that you will actually get statistics of your faxes in your monitoring server and just stop?.

Save yourself the trouble and time and just route the fax outside of Lync. Route it directly to the analog gateway without passing Lync. There is just to much that needs to fit for the fax to work good through Lync and lets not start talking on remote sites and how to get this working over WAN and with SBA?s

So the lesson learned, Leave the faxes outside of Lync, even better host them on a online faxing service and have it sent by email, its 2012 already Winking smile (ok I know it might be requirements that forces organizations to keep them)

Whats your experiences with FAX?s? Have you gotten it to work via Lync or did you rout it outside of Lync directly to the gw? Post a comment and tell us.
