This article details how to use the “refresh token” command to help troubleshoot inbox fax issues where faxes that are received at the account (and affiliated to a DirectFax instance at the time they are received) are not being pulled down to the DirectFax instance they are affiliated with.

It should be noted that this will work to re-establish your connection when it is lost. It will not automatically re-trigger stuck inbox items to come to their respective destinations. This will assist with future received faxes at the DirectFax instance in question.

Please contact support@etherfax.net and relay your fax number or Unique ID (by doing a get device status command) for etherFAX to resolve stuck items.
