in our recent upgrade to SIP from the old dialogic fax board we purchased a 30 channel SIP license. We have 16 channels dedicated to inbound and the remainder to outbound. Once they 16 inbound are in use, the next call will receive a busy. <div>
<br></div><div>to be honest, we do have a dedicated PRI for Fax though. This goes back to the dialogic fax board we previously had. the PRI plugged directly into it. So at the time of the upgrade we plugged the PRI into an available PRI port on our VGW and setup our CSS appropriately. Our Fax DID are overlapping DN's with our Voice DNs.</div>
