Create new IAX Modem
Next, we create the new iaxmodem in /etc/iaxmodem.We
need to make a copy of one of the existing iaxmodem-cfg.ttyIAX files, and edit it to suit our needs. Copy one of the
files to your desktop, and then rename the file to the next modemin the series. We will be naming the file:
iaxmodem-cfg.ttyIAX4.
Make sure that when you name the
files, you match the case exactly as the other are done, or this won’t work at all.
Open the file and edit the following lines as indicated. Do Not Change any
other lines.
device /dev/ttyIAX4 <=== This
is the 4th modem
port 4574 <=== This must
match the port used when the FreePBX Fax Modem
extension was created
peername xxx <=== Fax Extension number created in FreePBX
cidname B. Jones <===The Caller ID Name sent from this Fax
Machine
cidnumber 1234567890 <=== The Caller ID Number sent from this

secret 274329 <=== This is
the secret used in the FreePBX fax extension created in FreePBX for this
purpose
