File README.SUSE of Package hylafax+
Setup of hylafax+ on openSUSE ---------------------------- After installation of hylafax you need to run faxsetup answer the questions and modify to your needs. Run faxaddmodem for each attached modem. It asks you for the device, leave out the /dev prefix; only enter eg. modem, ttyS0 or such things. Answer the other questions, important ones could be the ringtones, max pages, permissions on files or your the name that should be shown. Setting up hylafax for systemd ------------------------------ hylafax comes with three systemd service files. The first two are needed when you want to send faxes from your server: hylafax-hfaxd.service - the hylafax server hylafax-faxq.service - the fax scheduler Enable systemd service for the daemons. They will start at boot time: systemctl enable hylafax-hfaxd.service systemctl enable hylafax-faxq.service Receiving faxes --------------- In case you want to receive faxes as well, a TEMPLATE is attached for starting faxgetty on a modem on ttyS0: hylafax-faxgetty-ttyS0.service Please use this template and modify it according to the interface(s) the modem is attached to. You need to have one service file per modem. The Template is in /usr/lib/systemd/system Enable systemd service for the faxgetty-daemon: systemctl enable hylafax-faxgetty-ttyS0.service systemctl start hylafax-faxgetty-ttyS0.service Send-only environment --------------------- Many installations run hylafax just for sending faxes. To get this up and running, the command faxmodem needs to run after hylafax is started. In a systemd environment, it is easiest to add additional configuration for systemd. Create a directory /etc/systemd/system/hylafax-hfaxd.service.d and copy the file sendonly.conf into this directory. Check that the mentioned port (ttyS0 - Parameter is the device the modem is attached to) in this file matches your configuration and restart the service.
