RE: [Asterisk-Users] Blank faxes with RxFAX
Okay, so I finally found the problem that I was having with RxFAX receiving blank and mangled faxes. It turns out that it was caused by the timing source set wrong. I have a TE405P with span 1 running to a channel bank, a PRI (which the faxes were coming over) running into span 2, and an internet T1 running into span 3. I had span 3 set as the timing source. I changed timing to 0 on span 3 and set timing to 1 on span 2, rebooted and everything works perfectly. Hopefully, this will help some of the other people that were having the same problems.

And everything looks like it is running fine, meaning that I don't seem to
get any errors.
However, all the faxes seem to be blank. The only references to anything
like this that I could find previously on the list were in regards to 8-byte
tif files. This doesn't seem to be the same issue, since the files are much
larger (~8k). I am trying to receive the faxes over a PRI running into a
TE405P. Any suggestions? Is anyone using RxFAX successfully in a
configuration like this? If so, what are you doing differently? Any help
would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Patrick

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Blank faxes with RxFAX
Interesting, the size for the tiff files are:
1728x76 file size 1839 bytes
1728x159 file size 4605 bytes
1728x61 file size 1417 bytes
1728x77 file size 2071 bytes
on 4 different files originating from the same fax. The image area is
all white with a few dots at the top and when I change the image size,
it looks like a bar code.
Any thoughts?
