Hello.
I've been trying to setup Free Fax for Asterisk on a Debian machine with
Asterisk 1.8. I have managed to register and installed the Digium
modules. Sending and receiving through it have resulted in failure. The
output of fax show capabilities is:
Registered FAX Technology Modules:
Type : DIGIUM
Description : Digium FAX Driver
Capabilities : SEND RECEIVE T.38 G.711 MULTI-DOC
1 registered modules
We have a fax blackbox through which I'm trying to send faxes to the
Asterisk server. Every time that I send a fax I get a timeout error.
Been tinkering with the settings and whatnot to get it working.
The extension to receive fax:
exten => recvfax,1,Verbose(2,Receiving fax)
same => n,Set(FAXDEST=/tmp/fax)
same => n,Set(tempfax=${STRFTIME(,,%C%y%m%d%H%M)})
same => n,Wait(8)
same => n,ReceiveFax(${FAXDEST}/${tempfax}.tiff,f,d)
It's without most of the tinkering I've done, which are: setting ecm to
no, tweaking the min/max rate and other things.
Also, because the fax machine can't print (half broken), we receive our
faxes through a fax to email service we have subscribed to, so the tests
for sending have that one as a destination.
The extension to send fax:
exten => sendfax,1,Verbose(2,Sending fax)
same => n,Set(faxlocation=/tmp)
same => n,Set(faxfile=fax.tiff)
same => n,Set(FAXOPT(headerinfo)=Testing FAX)
same => n,Set(FAXOPT(localstationid)=123456)
same => n,SendFax(${faxlocation}/${faxfile},d)
same => n,Verbose(2, Fax Status: ${FAXOPT(error)})
I did the exact same thing, and tried sending from both a SIP channel
and a DAHDI line. The weird thing is that when I am sending through
Asterisk I get, as a response to fax, a recorded message from the telco.
Sending through the same line with the fax machine works perfectly.
Any advice and help is welcome.
