I am receiving faxes just fine on an Alix board. I use the following in my
dialplan.... asterisk 1.8 will automatically detect fax tone and branch to
"fax", for asterisk 1.4 you need to use NVdetect/NVbackgrounddetect to catch
the tone.
exten = fax,1,Gosub(fax-rx,s,1)
exten = fax,n,Hangup()
[fax-rx]
exten = s,1,NoOp(Receive FAX)
exten =
s,n,Set(emailaddr=${IF(${DB_EXISTS(actionlist/fax${CALLERID(dnid)})}?${DB_RESULT}:${DB(actionlist/fax)})})
exten =
s,n,Set(FAXFILE=/tmp/fax~${CALLERID(NUM)}~${emailaddr}~${FILTER(0123456789,${UNIQUEID})})
exten = s,n,Set(LOCALHEADERINFO=My Name)
exten = s,n,Set(LOCALSTATIONID=My Name)
exten = s,n,ReceiveFAX(${FAXFILE}.tiff) ;Asterisk 1.8
;exten = s,n,RxFAX(${FAXFILE}.tiff) ;Asterisk 1.4
exten = s,n,Log(NOTICE,New FAX: ${FAXPAGES} page(s) from ${CALLERID(NUM)}
(${REMOTESTATIONID}) to ${CALLERID(dnid)})
exten = s,n,Hangup()
exten = s,n,Return()
This places a .tiff file into the /tmp/fax directory. The filename includes
the email address that the fax should be forwarded to -- the email address
comes from the astdb "actionlist/fax" or "actionlist/faxXXX" where XXX is
destination extension. I then have an application running in background
looking for new tiff files, converting them to pdf and emailing. I do this
outside of the asterisk dialplan as I found it more reliable....
#!/bin/bash
#
background () {
echo $$ > /tmp/check_fax.pid
while true;
do
for f in /tmp/*.tiff
do
if [ -f $f ]
then
fuser -s $f
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
tiff2pdf -o "${f%\.*}".pdf "$f"
mv -f "$f" /mnt/kd/fax
fi
fi
done
for f in /tmp/*.pdf
do
if [ -f $f ]
then
cidemail="${f%~*}"
cidemail="${cidemail#*~}"
email="${cidemail#*~}"
cid="${cidemail%~*}"
shortf="${f##*~}"
mv -f "$f" "/tmp/fax-$shortf"
echo "Subject: New FAX from $cid
From: AsteriskPBX
To: $email" | \
mime-pack "New FAX received from $cid" "/tmp/fax-$shortf" "application/pdf"
| \
sendmail -t
rm -f "/tmp/fax-$shortf"
fi
done
sleep 30
done
rm -f /tmp/check_fax.pid
}

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a
definitive record of customers, application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
