RESPONSE TO PORT SERVER

───

Required

Purpose

RADIUS code

Access-Accept or Access-Reject

Optional

Purpose

FB-Call-Ahead-Mode

Specifies whether the fax ATA should call-ahead to verify the fax
number, or whether it should immediately begin to receive the fax
from the connected fax machine.

A value of 0 means do not call-ahead. Any non-zero value means do
call-ahead.

If the FB-Call-Ahead-Mode attribute is missing from the response, or
there is no response, then the Port Server will flag the fax ATA to
call-ahead.

Get-Account-From-Sender-Email-Address / For-External-Module

Sent when the e-mail gateway component needs to verify that the “From” e-mail address for an
outbound fax is associated with a known account. The account information that is returned can
be used to further authorize the sender.

The RADIUS server must respond with an Access-Accept packet that includes at a minimum an
account name in the “User-Name” attribute, or an Access-Reject packet if the sender e-mail
address is not associated with any account. If the e-mail address maps to a known account, but
sending is disabled for the account for some reason, instead of returning an Access-Reject
packet the RADIUS server can return an Access-Accept packet that includes the “FB-Snd-From-
Account” attribute with a value of 0.
