SIP Peer capability for Multitech FaxFinder IP

[dfleschute]

I have a 5600 PBX V5 using SIP trunks to connect to a Multitech FaxFinder IP device.  The programming is quite convoluted.  I am forwarding the calls over the SIP trunks to the server.  This method only allows inbound faxing, and is a real pain to program.  Is it possible to use SIP Peering and treat the server as a SIP Phone?  This would allow two way faxing and be far more simple to program.

To add a SIP extn you need a CAT F license then you could provision the Multitech device as an Extension rather than a 'line'.

Has anyone tried it?

I've got loads of SIP extns working, never connected a Multitech Fax though!
