6. Enter your network interface name. This information is needed to configure the IP interface. Select either
eth0, eth1 or default. If you choose default, you let the SR140 Fax Software find the default network
interface and use it for fax over IP.
Network interface name = "default"
7. To configure the SIP stack, enter the SIP default gateway.
To configure the H323 stack, enter the H323 default gateway and optionally your H323 gatekeeper ip address
if you want to use it.

follow the configuration steps described in Installing Brooktrout drivers and configuring TR1034 or TruFax
boards on Unix/Linux (page 36).
9. Answer yes when asked if you want to start automatically the VSI-FAX Brooktrout TR1034-SR140 drivers at
boot time.
10. Answer yes when asked if you want to start the VSI-FAX Admin Server.
11. Answer yes when asked if you want to start the VSI-FAX Fax Server.
12. The SR140 configuration is now complete. You can use the vfxadmin device -l command to check that
your SR140 license has been correctly activated and view the status of each channel.
Note
To reference each available channel, VSI-FAX uses Brooktrout logical numbering: number of the SR140 module
(e.g. 65) followed by -2, -3, -4, etc. depending on the number of work channels available on this SR140 module).
Consider the example below:
vfxadmin device -l
