I have been using Asterisk with a fax machine flawlessly for quite some time, but I want to move to a more digital kind of system. I want to use rxfax to receive the faxes, and then store them on the server in a directory to be viewed by domain users via a website I will later script. The problem I am having is that the program does not actually answer the fax and receive it. I have looked just about everywhere for ways to setup rxfax, and check for solutions to my problem. Below you will see my extensions.conf and the output from the cli as a fax is sent in.
extensions.conf: [incomming] exten => _1XXXXXXXXXX,1,Answer exten => _1XXXXXXXXXX,2,Playtones(ring) exten => _1XXXXXXXXXX,3,NVFaxDetect(6) exten => _1XXXXXXXXXX,4,Dial(SIP/7001,20) exten => _1XXXXXXXXXX,5,Voicemail([EMAIL PROTECTED]) exten => fax,1,Answer() exten => fax,2,Playtones(ring) exten => fax,3,Set(TIMEOUT(absolute)=3600) exten => fax,4,Set(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk-fax/${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)}-${CALL$ exten => fax,5,rxfax(${FAXFILE}) exten => fax,6,Hangup() CLI output during fax transmission (I have replaced my number with X and the calling number with x): -- Executing [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1] Answer("SIP/1XXXXXXXXXX-007321b0", "") in new stack -- Executing [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2] PlayTones("SIP/1XXXXXXXXXX-007321b0", "ring") in new stack -- Executing [EMAIL PROTECTED]:3] NVFaxDetect("SIP/1XXXXXXXXXX-007321b0", "6") in new stack [Jul 7 19:53:51] NOTICE[16137]: /root/asterisk/agx-ast-addons/app_nv_faxdetect.c:219 nv_detectfax_exec: Redirecting SIP/1XXXXXXXXXX-007321b0 to fax extension -- Executing [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1] Answer("SIP/1XXXXXXXXXX-007321b0", "") in new stack -- Executing [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2] PlayTones("SIP/1XXXXXXXXXX-007321b0", "ring") in new stack -- Executing [EMAIL PROTECTED]:3] Set("SIP/1XXXXXXXXXX-007321b0", "TIMEOUT(absolute)=3600") in new stack -- Channel will hangup at 2008-07-08 02:53:51 UTC. -- Executing [EMAIL PROTECTED]:4] Set("SIP/1XXXXXXXXXX-007321b0", "FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk-fax/20080707-195351-1xxxxxxxxxx.tif") in new stack -- Executing [EMAIL PROTECTED]:5] RxFAX("SIP/1XXXXXXXXXX-007321b0", "/var/spool/asterisk-fax/20080707-195351-1xxxxxxxxxx.tif") in new stack [Jul 7 19:53:51] NOTICE[16137]: channel.c:2270 __ast_read: Dropping incompatible voice frame on SIP/1XXXXXXXXXX-007321b0 of format slin since our native format has changed to ulaw From what I am seeing here, it answers the call, detects the fax and forwards to the fax exten, that exten then answers, plays the ring tone until something else happens, sets the timeout, sets the fax file (that dir is 755 asterisk asterisk), then it is supposed to receive the fax and store it... The sending machine simply says the call was not answered. It seems like all is going according to plan until it hits RxFAX, then it does nothing. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here? I have SpanDSP and everything compiled in the correct directories, I've checked permissions at least a dozen times... I'm running out of ideas... I still can't figure out what that notice is really all about either! I have tried making an internal extension for me to dial with a phone with the same dialplan as the fax extension, the same thing happens. It answers, and then just sits there on RxFAX.
