Auch hier muss nichts verändern werden (also einfach mit yes übernehmen). Danach werden automatisch alle zum Kompilieren benötigten Makefiles angelegt. Das Kompilieren starten wir mit make und danach können wir mit einem make install die Software installieren.

There does not appear to be an entry for the FaxMaster either in
the YP/NIS database or in the /etc/aliases file.  The
FaxMaster is the primary point of contact for HylaFAX problems. 
The HylaFAX client-server protocol server identifies this alias as
the place to register complaints and HylaFAX directs automatic mail
messages to this user when problems are identified on a server
machine or when the routine server maintainence scripts are run
(e.g. faxcron).

Should an entry be added for the FaxMaster to /etc/aliases [yes]?

Bei den folgenden 2-3 Fragen einfach immer Enter drücken.

Dabei sind an sich nur die ersten vier Fragen wichtig. Das erste ist die Landesvorwahl als zweistellige Zahl, für Deutschland also die 49. Dann folgt die Ortsnetznummer ohne führende Null, in diesem Beispiel die 69 für Frankfurt am Main. Dann eine Null für Ferngespräche und zwei Nullen für internationale Gespräche. Dann mit yes bestätigen.

Do you want to run faxaddmodem to configure a modem [yes]?

Jetzt bestätigen wir den Restart des Serverprozesses mit yes und werden gefragt, ob wir in Modem installieren wollen. Da unser iaxmodem bereits eingerichtet ist, können wir hier direkt weitermachen und bestätigen mit yes.

Ok, time to setup a configuration file for the modem.  The manual

that at any time you can safely interrupt this procedure.

Fragen über Fragen, aber nur die wenigsten sind wirklich wichtig.^[112] Wichtig sind natürlich die Faxnummer und der sogenannte LocalIdentifier. Das ist der Text, der auf jedem gesendeten Fax in der obersten Zeile steht.

Yes bringt uns weiter zur Modemerkennung.

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.

If you're unsure and your modem supports it, use Class 1.

This modem looks to have support for Class 1 and 1.0.
How should it be configured [1]?1
Hmm, this looks like a Class 1 modem.
Product code (ATI0) is "spandsp".
Other information (ATI3) is "www.soft-switch.org".
DTE-DCE flow control scheme [default]?
Modem manufacturer is "spandsp".
Modem model is "IAXmodem".

Using prototype configuration file iaxmodem...

The modem configuration parameters are:

ModemResetCmds:         "ATH1\nAT+VCID=1"

Are these ok [yes]?

Creating new configuration file /var/spool/hylafax/etc/config.ttyIAX0...
Creating fifo /var/spool/hylafax/FIFO.ttyIAX0 for faxgetty... done.
Done setting up the modem configuration.

Checking /var/spool/hylafax/etc/config for consistency...
...some parameters are different.

The non-default scheduler parameters are:

LongDistancePrefix:     0
InternationalPrefix:    00
DialStringRules:        etc/dialrules

Are these ok [yes]?

Das Modem wurde erkannt und wir werden gefragt, ob es ein Class 1 Modem ist. Da das genau das ist, was wir wollen, bestätigen wir. Auch das Reset-Kommando für das Modem können wir so übernehmen. Wenn alles in Ordnung ist, bestätigen wir mit yes.

Creating new configuration file /var/spool/hylafax/etc/config...
...saving current file as /var/spool/hylafax/etc/config.sav.

Don't forget to run faxmodem(8C) (if you have a send-only environment)
or configure init to run faxgetty on ttyIAX0.
Do you want to run faxaddmodem to configure another modem [yes]? no

You do not appear to be using faxgetty to notify the HylaFAX scheduler
about new modems and/or their status.  This means that you must use the
faxmodem program to inform the new faxq process about the modems you
want to have scheduled by HylaFAX.  Beware that if you have modems that
require non-default capabilities specified to faxmodem then you should
read faxmodem(8C) manual page and do this work yourself (since this
script is not intelligent enough to automatically figure out the modem
capabilities and supply the appropriate arguments).

Should I run faxmodem for each configured modem [yes]?
/usr/local/sbin/faxmodem ttyIAX0

Done verifying system setup.

Ein zweites Modem haben wir nicht, also beantworten wir die Frage mit no. Das Ausführen von faxmodem macht durchaus Sinn, denn dadurch sind die Modems an Hylafax angebunden.

Jetzt ist das Hylafax zum Senden von Faxen eingerichtet. Aber vielleicht möchten Sie ja auch welche empfangen. Dazu brauchen wir einen getty, der am iaxmodem auf Verbindungen lauscht. Das erreicht man ganz einfach durch einen weiteren Eintrag in der Datei /etc/inittab.
