I have a TDM400 card with 3x FXO and 1x FXS ports on it.
At the moment I'd prefer (till I can get it working more reliable with
iaxmodem), for a faxmodem to answer one of the lines instead of the
linecard.
I've tried changing the context of that line so that the exten => s does
nothing, but that stops the line from being able to receive calls (get a
recorded This number is not accepting calls at the moment).
So my 2 questions are...
How do I set one of the channels in zaptel.conf (or elsewhere) so that
it is only available for making calls (and not receiving them).
Does Zaptel automatically switch echo cancellation off if it detects a
fax call?
I'm assuming you have a fax machine bridged on the pstn line that also
connects to asterisk via an fxo port. If that's the case, you have two
ways to accomplish the goal.
One, as others have mentioned, is to specify a context in the
appropriate channel portion of zapata.conf that goes no where. E.g., it
doesn't exist in extensions.conf.
Second, specify a context in the appropriate channel portion of
zapata.conf that goes to "inbound-fax" or something like that, and then
in extensions.conf, do something like this:
[inbound-fax]
exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/3034)
Notice there is no "answer" function and there is no timeout value
associated with this. The example will ring x3034, however if no one
picks up that sip phone, the call remains unanswered from an incoming
pstn call perspective. (I've used the same for both a bridged fax
machine and for a bridged older answering machine.) You may need to add
faxdetect=no in the appropriate channel section of zapata.conf as well.
