We found that the TDM400 did not get along with our Brother fax machine.  We wound up just putting the fax direct to PSTN.  We also could not get our Hayes modems to work for faxing with * and we also had a miserable time with SpanDSP.  I basically came to the conclusion that faxing over VOIP was not functional and that the benefits of * outweighed this limitation.
 
We were however, able to get a credit card terminal to run through a FXO/FXS port combination.  We had to put it in pulse dial mode and add a 1 to the number.  No idea why, but that magic combo works.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Sending faxes and call accounting

In the Asterisk system I am testing for implementation at a small luxury resort, there are four fax machines that the guests can use for sending and receiving faxes. Because they require confidentiality, we cannot use hylafax or other method than a stand alone fax.

I would just connect these faxes to the PSTN lines directly but we would then have call accounting issues as the calls would not appear in the CDRs and with long distance costing from $1/min upwards, it could get costly quickly.

How reliably can I do an analogue in/out connection with call accounting? I am using TDM400 cards or an Adtrans 600 channel bank.

 

Thanks

 

Chris
