I created this tutorial or walk-through because I didn't find one tutorial that would help me do it successfully in/out faxing. So here it goes:
Hardware
Raspberry Pi B with 8 GB San SD Card
1.) Download Software
Software:
Incredible PBX Incrediblepi-3.11.11.final
Avantfax: Avantfax 3.3.3
I am not going to go through the installing of Incredible PBX on the Pi as there are plenty of good walk-through tutorials for that. Once you get incredible PBX up and running and login as
username: root and password: raspberry you will be prompted to complete some tasks: such as changing the root password and updating the system, be sure to complete these steps.
2.) incredible PBX post install tasks
Once you are at the prompt ~/ aka root directory you can do a ls and copy the name of the script raspi-setup.sh e.g.:
./raspi-setup
At this point you want to expand your SD card to allow you to use all the space on it.
select expand_rootfs
note: this will require a reboot.
OK now we are ready to install hylafax and good news is there is already a script that works in the same directory we ran the other commands.
3.) FreePBX Setup / Module Upgrades
First things first, you should change your admin password, this is done under the following menu: Admin -> Administrators -> (then select admin and change the password)
Next you will want to upgrade all the install modules and get the system up-to-date. This is done by checking (Show only upgradeable) and clicking Upgrade All link, then Process.
Now you will want to install Fax Configuration
4.) Setup Google Voice Trunks
I have two trunks one for voice and one for faxing. Below you fill out your Google account information and phone number.
I won't go into much detail here as there are great walk-through tutorials for this also.
Note: some details about settings on this post: Link
5.) Create inbound Route to your fax modems
In freePBX this is located under Connectivity-> Inbound Routes
Give it a description such as the one I did fax-in
Change the DID to you GV number from the trunk you are using as your fax.
6.) Before you continue lets test Hylafax
You want to have two sessions of putty going for this.
In the first session run the following command: watch faxstat -s
In the second window type: sendfax -d 18884732963 /etc/network/interfaces this will send a fax to HP's fax machine test, which in fact will in turn send you a fax back.
If all is well you should see a fax in /var/spool/hylafax/recvq
At this point you should be sending and receiving faxes through your google voice number.
