RE: [Asterisk-Users] fax receive using TDM400P
I wrestled with this for a long time, as have many others and it just doesn't work with spandsp and asterisk alone. Use iaxmodem and hylafax in conjunction with asterisk... it works like a champ. I have a single POTS line coming in so I get voice fax with a single number using fax detect. http://iaxmodem.sourceforge.net/ -Original Message- From: Rich Adamson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 24, 2006 7:28 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] fax receive using TDM400P Ive been testing how to receive faxes using TDM400P cards and so far, after playing with gains, echocancell and echotraining on zapata.conf.. Ive ha dno luck, faxes come in as garbage or broken or with blank lines. Anybody has successfully done this? Any tips.. Also I have some ideas: 1. Is it really possible to get fxes on a fax machine using ATAs like the sipura 2002? Even using ulaw and pass-thru, is it possible? 2. Since the faxes is coming from PSTN thru the card, I guess asterisk will always stay in the middle right? No way around this. 3. Im also trying to receive faxes usign a TE110P card with spandsp, unicall and E1 R2MFC, no luck also, some stuff, garbage and broken faxes. Anybody done this sucessfuly? Hope anybody can share their thoughts and insight on this. Using the TDM400 card for any form of fax'ing (or modem use) is well known to be unreliable and, in most cases, totally unusable. The issue has been discussed many times over the last two years or so. There are no known workarounds. Its my understanding that lots of folks have spandsp working via T1 and/or PRI interfaces. The issues associated with the TDM400 card do not apply to the T1 cards. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

RE: [Asterisk-Users] spandsp - fax is just blank pages
Hi, This is exactly the set up I was trying and could not get it to work (also w/ efax and the dev kit). You got slightly farther than I did -- for me, the detection worked and the macro launched for the extension, however the tiff file never got created. I did some additional searching in the archives and found this: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2005-July/115141.html I concluded from that thread that SpanDSP and the TDM400P don't play well together yet. I hope I'm wrong and someone else chimes in with other suggestions. /Rob -Original Message- From: Asterisk mailing list account [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 3:27 AM To: pbo 808; Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] spandsp - fax is just blank pages pbo 808 wrote: I've done quite a bit of googling and haven't found a solution to my problem.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] SpanDSP rxfax, no tiff
Maybe I over-complicated my question with the mailfax part. If I leave the mailfax step out entirely, then there should be a .tif file, right? But theres not. No tif file gets created at all. Permissions on the fax folder are 777 at the moment.

Are the permissions okay for getting TO that folder? (do you have r+x on
the directories 'above' the fax folder?)

[Asterisk-Users] SpanDSP rxfax, no tiff.
Hello,
Let me start by saying I have checked the wiki and the
archives and did find some relative information. I tried the suggestions
in those threads, but still have the same problem.
Im using the CVS Asterisk from July 11, 2005.
Redhat FC2
SpanDSP 0.0.2pre18
Libtiff 3.5.7
Digium PCI card 1 FXO, 1FXS.
I have a single POTS line coming, but I have 2 numbers and
am using distinctive ring detection in *.
When you call my fax number, the ring
detection does work, and does send it to the fax context correctly.
The debugs show the call is answered, rxfax is invoked and
it is trying to write to the fax file. After the sending party hangs up, it
tries to execute a script that will ultimately mail me the fax file. But
since the tiff file isnt there to begin with, that fails. The
permissions on that folder are 777 for now so permissions arent
the problem.
I saw a post by Steve Underwood from last year on a similar
problem, but it was looking like timing slips on the T1/E1 for that user
Im just using a POTS line though. Ive also done ztmonitor
to look at the Rx and Tx levels. Rx is a little hotter than Tx, but theyre
both well on the right hand side of the scale.
Any help is appreciated. Debugs extensions.conf
excerpt are below.
Thanks,
Rob
