Panduan Setup Fax server (Hylafax) lengkap dengan Avantfax di Ubuntu 7.10
page 1 of 16
http://linux2.arinet.org Pendahuluan Panduan ini dibuat dengan latar belakang keingintahuan penulis mengenai cara menyetel fungsi-fungsi server di Ubuntu. Penulis berlatar belakang dari distro keluarga RedHat seperti Mandriva, Fedora, CentOs, dan Suse (walaupun sebenarnya Suse adalah keturunan Slackware). Telah kira-kira 8 bulan ini penulis menggunakan distro Ubuntu yang merupakan keluarga Debian. Sebenarnya panduan mensetup Fax server menggunakan Hylafax dan Avantfax telah banyak terdapat di internet, namun sebagian besar dibuat untuk distro keluarga RedHat, sangat sedikit yang berbasiskan Debian, dalam hal ini Ubuntu. Kalaupun ada, kebanyakan sudah cukup lama tidak diupdate. Oleh karena itulah juga penulis membuat panduan ini menggunakan paket-paket yang terbaru. Latar Belakang 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: 1. Mesin harus rutin di maintenance agar dapat dioperasikan dengan lancar (kertas tidak macet, hasil fax tetap jelas, dll). 2. Dokumen harus di print dahulu bila ingin di fax, dan seringkali kiriman fax tersebut kurang bagus. 3. Hasil fax harus difoto-kopi dahulu bila ingin disimpan lama, sebab hasil fax akan pudar bila terlalu lama disimpan. 4. Perlu usaha khusus untuk mengarsip fax-fax yang dikirim dan masuk. 5. 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: 1. Tidak perlu maintenance khusus, karena menggunakan sebuah PC sebagai servernya. 2. 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. 3. Fax yang masuk disimpan dalam bentuk file PDF di komputer, sehingga terjamin. 4. Fax terkirim/diterima langsung tersimpan dalam folder-folder khusus dalam bentuk file PDF. 5. Fax yang masuk dapat secara otomatis dikirim melalui email.
Feature-feature Faxserver ini: 1. Murni menggunakan software OpenSource. 2. Cukup menggunakan PC dan fax modem external biasa. 3. Multi user. page 2 of 16
http://linux2.arinet.org 4. Dapat mengunakan web based fax client ataupun windows client. 5. Konfirmasi send/receive fax lewat email. Hal-hal yang diperlukan: 1. PC/Notebook yang telah terinstall Ubuntu 7.10 2. Modem External 3. Mesin Fax untuk testing 4. Koneksi internet / DVD Repo Ubuntu 5. Semangat tinggi untuk belajar dan mencoba :) Secara garis besar, langkah-langkahnya adalah: 1. Install Ubuntu 2. Pasang Modem 3. Install dan setup Hylafax 4. Install paket-paket Ubuntu yang dibutuhkan 5. Install dan setup Avantfax 6. 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. (Tulisan-tulisan yang didahului oleh tanda '#' dan berhuruf tebal berarti adalah command yang harus kita ketik di console). # 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

http://linux2.arinet.org modem. Modem kita biasanya akan terdeteksi sebagai /dev/ttyS0 (serial pertama), kecuali di contoh panduan ini, karena saya menggunakan modem virtual, maka modem saya adalah /dev/ttyx0 dan /dev/ttyx1: # faxsetup Setup program for HylaFAX (tm) 4.4.0.

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]? ttyx0 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.

For example,
+1.021.555.1212 is a possible phone number (using your country and area codes).

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 Class Class Class Class
1 relies on HylaFAX to perform the bulk of the fax protocol. 2 relies on the modem to perform the bulk of the fax protocol. 2.0 is similar to Class 2 but may include more features. 1.0 is similar to Class 1 but may add V.34-fax capability. 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

http://linux2.arinet.org 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]?

http://linux2.arinet.org C6. Setup Avantfax lewat Web interface. Hidupkan web browser dan buka http://localhost/avantfax/admin Kita akan melihat layar login seperti ini (username standard: admin, passwordnya: password):
Pada pertama kali login ini kita akan diminta untuk segera mengganti password admin:
page 10 of 16
http://linux2.arinet.org Setelah login, kita akan melihat layar administration seperti ini:
Seperti dapat dilihat di gambar di atas, sepertinya ada bug di avantfax dimana user 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.
page 11 of 16
http://linux2.arinet.org Seperti terlihat dibawah ini jadinya:
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. Disini karena modem saya /dev/ttyx0 dan /dev/ttyx1, maka saya menuliskannya ttyx0. Alias modem pilih identifikasi terserah kita saja, misalnya: modem1. Contact dikosongkan saja dulu.
page 12 of 16
http://linux2.arinet.org Bila sudah tersetel user dan modem, maka kita sudah bisa login dari layar depan Avantfax, yaitu: http://localhost/avantfax
page 13 of 16
http://linux2.arinet.org Selanjutnya silahkan dicoba kirim/terima fax. Bila sudah ada fax masuk, maka di Inbox Avantfax kita akan terlihat seperti ini:
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
