 I figured out the problem. Actually the sending fax machine speed was set
 as 33000 bps, later I set to 14400 bps and in my dial plan, I forcefully
 set to use T.38 protocol. After that I was able to receive fax.

 Thanks Tim for assisting me out :).

  Thanks for your response. Here is my topology as listing down below;

  PSTN Line -- Cisco Voice GW -- IP Cloud -- Asterisk

  Will Asterisk able to receive the fax (as in topology above) using
  its' fax module? In sip.conf I enabled fax detection and T.38.
  Actually I don't want
  to use Hylafax + iaxmodem as per requirement.

 If your Cisco voice gateway can deliver the calls using T.38, that should
 give you decent reliability. You'll want to us Asterisk 10 which has the
 best T.38 support at this point (compared to older releases). The receiving
 side of the equation then becomes whether to use Fax for Asterisk
 (commercial, 1 free channel, 2+ paid), or the included SpanDSP based fax
 module.

[asterisk-users] Fax over IP ?

2012-06-01 Thread Ahmed Munir
Hi all,

Couple of things I would like ask, does Asterisk provides free license for
FoIP (for 1 channel) or need to purchase it? Couple of years back, I was
able to send and receive the fax using Digium T1 card, in term of FoIP how
can I able to receive fax from traditional telephone lines / T1 lines? As
far my understanding, the functionality for FoIP is to send fax to email or
receive fax from email i.e. using T.38 protocol.

The thing I would like to know how I can implement this solution i.e.
receiving fax via IP? Correct me if I'm wrong, while receiving fax from
traditional telephone lines will the topology looks like as listed below;

PSTN Lines -- Asterisk (mounted a T1/ analog card) -- IP -- Asterisk
(receive Fax over IP)

or else?

Please advice.

FoIP typically means the fax session traverses an IP link at some point, most 
commonly at the 'last mile'. What happens to the fax after that is up to your 
requirements. The faxes can be emailed out, stored in a web application, 
printed to a printer, etc. The possibilities are endless.

Asterisk does have a few options for faxing. Those are most notably:

1. Fax for Asterisk - Free license available for 1 channel, or paid licenses 
for 2+ channels
2. app_fax (I think this is the current module name) - Free fax module for 
Asterisk, no channel limit, based on SpanDSP
3. Hylafax+ and IAXmodem - Most complicated method of fax setup, but most 
robust and reliable (in my testing). Would require use of Asterisk 10 with T.38 
gateway functionality for proper fax reception.

Just keep in mind raw fax audio over VoIP is a bad idea, see here: 
http://www.soft-switch.org/foip.html

If you can provide some additional details on what you're planning to do, we 
can give more info.

 Despite what anyone may say about Fax over IP allegedly works for them, 
 save yourself the trouble and make sure you take the POTS and ISDN 
 approach.


If I keep the POTS-line or the ISDN-line, can Asterisk then transform an
incoming fax to an email with pdf or tiff attachment ??
And the other way around, can an email to the Asterisk-server be
transformed to an analogue fax ??

[asterisk-users] fax over IP - http/ftp-provisioning - intercom

2010-01-23 Thread jonas kellens
Dear members of the list,

a customer of mine has some questions and I would like to pose some of
them further to you guys.

What is the situation with Asterisk and fax over IP ? Can Asterisk
receive a fax over a POTS or ISDN line ?? Do I then need a Digium
TDM-card and an FXO-module or a T38-gateway ?

What phones should I use to automatically configure them from a central
place via HTTP or FTP ? I know Polycom-phones offer this option.

How can I implement intercom functionality ? Which phones have
auto-answer ? And how do I implement this in the Asterisk dialplan ??


I'm used to working with Asterisk 1.4. I hope the above is possible in
an 1.4 environment.

Thank you for your feedback.

Jonas.

Most major phone vendors offer provisioning of this nature.

Polycom supports this, and I am quite sure Snom does too.  Perhaps some 
others.

As far as how to implement it, that is manufacturer-specific.  Look on 
voip-info.org for Polycom and paging if you want the Polycom-centric 
answer.  For other phones, it will be different.

[asterisk-users] fax over ip

2006-09-23 Thread Christopher Corn
I have an trixbox system setup, and all my phones are IP based, different Grandstream phones to be exact. I have some fax machines that are still around, using analog lines of course. I've read a little into FOIP and the changing of the signals form t30(traditional fax machines) to t.38 ( ip faxmachines). From what I understand, it's alot like voip, with origination and temrination. Can someone recommende, i guess, a FOIP provider? someone that can provider the gateway services?Also, how am i supposed to get my fax machine onto my ethernet network? i assume it needs some kind of Aanalog Telephone Adapter, just like with VOIP. Any info is appreciated , this is still clewgy to me.___

Christopher,


Also, how am i supposed to get my fax machine onto my ethernet network? i
assume it needs some kind of Aanalog Telephone Adapter, just like with VOIP.


You need a T.38 capable ATA. There are a few but not too many. I
believe the Grandstream ATAs have T.38 support or will have it
(Support transparent Fax pass-through and in the future T.38
(pending)). The Linksys/Sipura 2100 can definitely do it -- it works
well for me :).

Then you need a T.38 capable ITSP. Some are listed on
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/VOIP+Service+Providers+T.38 but I
don't have experience with any other them.

T.38 pass-through support in Asterisk is available as a patch on the
bug tracker for 1.2. Not sure if it made it into the 1.4 beta version
or not, but on 1.2 it works OK for me.

   Dear Steve,

SU So how does the FAX get from the fax machine to the T.38 channel
SU with spandsp?

   In our case we will try to strip spandsp and will use directly
OpenH323. We do tests for compatibility with one of the biggest
national telecom and if they are OK, they will offer Asterisk based IP
PBX to their clients instead Cisco. That's why we need of T.38 and
G.711 fax capabilities.
   Also we have the problems with the following tests:
   1. When Dialing of unallocated number the resposne must be Invalid
  Number, but the result is one of the following: Hangup,
  Congestion or Busy.
   2. CLIP/CLIR User provided verified and passed - We can't find
  where we can set this bits for this services.
   3. Fax T38 / g711
   4. Codec negotiation: when 2 codecs are possible (G.711 and G.729),
  the two parties can't negotiate which codec to use.

Hi Miroslav,
It sounds like you don't really understand what T.38 is. You need some 
form of modem to get from a normal FAX machine to a T.38 channel. 
spandsp can do that. A normal FAX modem can do that. You need a modem 
somewhere, though. That is why developing the FAX modems was the first 
step towards providing T.38.

Just my $0.02 but seems to me the VoIP community as a whole needs to extend 
SIP (or IAX?) with a special 'fax data' mode wherein the gateways either 
act locally as the modem and queue/push bits (not audio data) for the 
remote end or transparently bridge them through in the case of a 
passthrough call.

IMO faxes need to die, but business still loves them.

Finding the correct version of libtiff was a pain. One sub version off,

   There are two ways to send a fax throuhg IP:
   1. If Asterisk detect the Fax to use G.711
  or
   2. T.38 protocol which is exactly for that.
   The problem maybe is that Asterisk doesn't support both ways.

to work, just a lot of tweaking to get it to work. Tedious.
It only supports V.29 (there is no terbo) ofor patent reasons. I have 
nearly finished V.17, but I'm unclear if the patent on its trellis 
coding has run out.

libtiff and timing slips are the two big issues, and there is little I 
can do. The recent libtiff security patches should fix most of the 
libtiff issues, I hope. Why so many people have timing problems has 
still to be resolved. Some have been misconfigured E1s/T1s, but there 
seem to be plenty of others. There is nothing I can do about that within 
spandsp.

spandsp on the VoIP side will always be a little flaky, I'm afraid. 
There is little I can do about that either. Building spandsp was 
actually a step towards T.38. That is why I have not been too interested 
in a HylaFAX interface (although one is in progress).

Regards,
Steve

Hello Steve,

There is another way to send fax if you use Fax Machine on some FXS
port.

 That is such a good idea they did it several years ago. Its called
 T.38 for H.323 and SIP. IAX doesn't yet have something similar, but
 its high on the list of things to do.

Hello Steve,

In the project OpenH323 the T.38 is supported. The easyest way is to
correct Asterisk logic with OpenH323.

Maybe, but from a quick look last year it didn't appear easy to make 
their version of T.38 play nicely with *. I've been working on the basis 
that I will do a fresh implementation in C when I have the time (unless 
some nice person beats me to it :-) ).

I switched to spandsp rather that purchase an expensive multi-port 
FaxModem card for a fax server.

I've had absolutely no problems with spandsp.  I've got rxfax to email 
working now, and I'm presently working on print-to-fax from a Windows 
client using txfax.  I don't have a T-1 on the system, yet.  When that 
is installed we'll do some load testing.

I had no trouble installing spandsp into Asterisk, and I have had no 
problems using spandsp with a $30 Sharp UX-P200 or an HP 3150.   Don't 
know about older machines.

Thank you, Steve, for all your good work.  We all appreciate your efforts.
Mike

Any chance of a clue as to how you did it?

I've had some success utilities from Hylafax, it works perfectly on one
machine but fails on my actual * box.
