Hello! I’m trying to add fax functionality to my asterisk installation. Right now I’m focusing on receiving faxes. This is not explained in a book, but I assume that I can use same context, add “fax” extension and if someone calls to send fax - it will autodetect. Right?
Per book, I made following setup additions: 1. In sip.conf [general] I added: ;FAX stuff faxdetect=yes t38pt_udptl=yes 2. In extensions.conf I hade something like this: [from-callcentric] exten => s,1,Goto(automated_attendant,s,1) ; FAX handling stuff AS IN BOOK exten => fax,1,Verbose(3,Incoming Fax) same => n,Set(FAXDEST=/tmp) ; folder where faxes will be stored same => n,Set(tempfax=${STRFTIME(,,%C%y%m%d%H%M)}) same => n,ReceiveFax(${FAXDEST}/${tempfax}.tif) same => n,Verbose(3, - Fax receipt completed with status: ${FAXSTATUS}) Well, that didn’t work. Trying to send fax - it was going to my autoattendant and never triggered fax. So, I made a change like so: 3. Changed extensions.conf [from-callcentric] ; FAX handling stuff AS IN BOOK exten => s,1,Verbose(3,Incoming Fax) same => n,Set(FAXDEST=/tmp) ; folder where faxes will be stored same => n,Set(tempfax=${STRFTIME(,,%C%y%m%d%H%M)}) same => n,ReceiveFax(${FAXDEST}/${tempfax}.tif) same => n,Verbose(3, - Fax receipt completed with status: ${FAXSTATUS}) I just made it fax handling context, and I got FAX :) !!!! But, while fax was received I was getting following: [2015-06-24 23:40:28] WARNING[47369][C-00000005]: res_fax_spandsp.c:438 spandsp_log: WARNING T.30 ECM carrier not found QUESTIONS: 1. Should I do something about this warning? 2. How do I receive fax and have main entry to auto attendant in a same context? Can I have it on same puplic phone number? Thanks!
