Hi John,

 

I have successfully deployed FAX with the Quintum Tenor Analog Getaway (ATA) + Sonus SBC 1000/2000, SIP Trunks and Skype for Business. The configuration was very similar to the article below:

 

https://support.sonus.net/display/UXDOC61/Using+Tenor+as+an+Analog+Device+in+a+Lync+SBC+SBA+Deployment

 

The document has old brand references and screenshots so please note that Quintum was acquired by Sonus long ago and now they are Ribbon. The NET UX is the SBC 1000/2000.

 

You could also try something similar with AudioCodes. You need their basic Analog Gateway w/ FXS port for the Fax, create a SIP trunk between the Analog Gateway and the AudioCodes SBC where you have your trunks and finally create the Analog objects in Skype if you want your environment to be aware about the FAX number.  It works best if you configure T.38 between the two gateways.
