RE: [Asterisk-Users] Important: The Asterisk Mailing list (new subject)
How about using a web form for posts instead of replying to an e-mail? A link in each e-mail would take you to the page for posting to that thread, and there could also be links available to people reading the archives, so they could post. This would eliminate accidental posts and HTML posts. It would also allow people to post from digests, which I haven't figured out how to do with the present system, and put everything in a common format, independent of the various e-mail clients used. Finally, I would suggest no branches within a thread. Each new post should simply go on the end of the thread, and the entire thread should be displayed on a single page in the archive. This would eliminate lots of duplicate material. People could still snip a little bit from a previous post if they need to reference it.

Your fax extension looks just like mine, except I'm using an FXS card. Mine redirects properly, but the faxes are garbled.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk & Analog Modems
When I connect a modem to and FXS card and use it to send and receive faxes, it doesn't work reliably. The faxes are mangled -- stretched or with parts missing. I haven't tried transmitting data with the modem, so I cannot address that, but you should still be aware of the potential for a problem. In trying to remedy the situation, I have checked for other CPU load on the 2.4 GHz P4 (there was none), tried different channels (in case it might be a hardware sample defect), turned off echocancel, and boosted rxgain and txgain, all to no avail. I have also confirmed that everything works fine when the faxes are not routed through Asterisk. It doesn't matter whether the fax is being sent or received. I have been advised to use different fax software (I am using WinFax), but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] incoming fax x100p
There is a special extension, called "fax," that you use to specify where
you want incoming fax calls to go. It detects faxes by the CNG tone and
sends them where you specify. Here is an example:
exten => fax,1,Dial(${Fax}) ; Use Zap channel for 2004 instead of ${Fax}
There are some faxes that do not send CNG tones, so this will occasionally
fail for that reason. You might also send calls that time out to the fax
extension, or you can use distinctive ringing, as someone else suggested.
Let me know how this works for you. I am still having trouble with garbled
fax transmissions once I get a connection to the fax, and I would be
interested in your experience sending and receiving faxes.

Hello all
I notice there have been many mails flying about regarding fax softare

I have what i thought would be a simpler solution but i am still a bit
lost with it.
I have a normal fax machine installed as extension 2004 on a sipura.
I also have a X100P.
I think i am right in saying that the X100P can tell if a fax is coming
in , does that mean i can redirect an incoming fax to ext 2004? of
course i could be missing the plot completely and the X100P does can not
do this.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk mangling faxes
All the fax modems I have seen do send CNG tones, but I have seen some very
old standalone fax machines that do not. They used to be quite common, but
in the last few years I have only seen one fax machine that does not support
CNG.
One workaround is to send the call to the fax machine on a timeout. Then a
fax that does not send a CNG can sometimes still get through.

First of all Asterisk does not support ${VARIABLES} as part of the
extension number. i.e. exten => ${BLAH},1,NoOp is not valid, but exten
=> 1234,1,NoOp(${BLAH}) is valid.
Also Asterisk NEEDS the sending fax machine to send standard fax machine
tones (CNG, I think) for it to be detected. When you send a fax the fax
machine starts sending tones as soon as the call is dialed. Asterisk
listens for these tones and if it hears them it will route the call to
exten => fax,1,Blah if such an extension exists.
As I understand it some (many?) fax modems do not send the required tone
when making a fax call.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk mangling faxes
Darren,
Thanks so much for your help.
Do you know if there is other fax software that supports ECM?
Also, why should Asterisk introduce a lot of noise? (Faxes work fine without
Asterisk or with the old phone system.) I'm using a 2.4GHz Pentium 4 with
two X100P's and two TDM400P's. Faxes are garbled even when there is no other
load, and nothing else has changed except to replace the old switch with
Asterisk. I have tried attaching the fax to different cards and using
different FXO lines, and faxes are always garbled, so I don't think it is
some kind of sample defect in the hardware.
What could I try that might reduce this noise?
Thanks again.
Jim

Jim,
For the sake of argument, let's assume something about your Asterisk setup
is introducing acoustic artifacts like crackles, pops, echoes etc into the
fax transmission. The best way to overcome something like that is to make
sure your fax transmissions use ECM error correction whenever possible. That
allows you to retransmit scanlines that got destroyed by the noise.Your
garden variety desktop fax machine will usually support ECM, but I'm
thinking it's quite likely your winfax setup won't.
Note that ECM isn't going to always save you ... if things are so bad that
you can't train at the beginning of the call there's not much ECM can do.
The best idea is to locate the source of any audio degradation and squash it
there, rather than trying to send faxes over poor quality connections.

Michiel,
Are you using WinFax? or one of the Products Based on Winfax? I've seen
this on all of our WinFax Stations, but none of our standalone Fax machines.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk mangling faxes
Hi list,
Faxes come in over an E1 line (on an TE410P) here and then are sent to
an analog fax machine attached to a T1 (also on the TE410P) &
channelbank (CAC1).
Problem is that almost all faxes we send out and receive are mangled...
either only halve pages or very stretched text etc.
Setup in extensions.conf is just:
exten => ${NN_FAX},1,Answer
exten => ${NN_FAX},2,Dial(Zap/49,80)
exten => ${NN_FAX},3,Hangup
echocancel is off for Zap/49 since the path is TDM only
Any pointers to where to look??
Thanks, Michiel

RE: [Asterisk-Users] windows alternatives to Asterisk?
Theoretically, Samba should do it. See samba.org. Unfortunately, it has not fully worked for me. Linux can see my Windows files, and Windows can see the Linux box but can not sign on. I've tries using the Linux sign-on and password, and also make entries in smbuser.conf, but had no luck.

[Asterisk-Users] Last Number Redial for Analog Phones
I am trying to implement a Last Number Redial feature for standard analog
phones connected to a Digium FXO card, using global variables (since the
information must survive between calls). I am using a different global
variable for each channel, since the last number should be saved for each
channel. Whenever an external call is made, the number is saved in a
variable that ends with the name of the channel. (For simplicity, I am
going to assume that he variable name is simply the channel name.) I can
set the global variable successfully using
exten => s,1,SetGlobalVar(${CHANNEL},${ARG1})
My problem is that I don't know how to read the contents of that variable
without testing for separately for each channel, because the name of the
variable is in a variable, and I can't figure out how to dereference it
twice. For example, if I try to redial using
exten => #3,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/${CHANNEL})
then it will try to dial the NAME of the channel instead of the number
stored in the global variable with that name. I guess I want to do
something like this:
exten => #3,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/${${CHANNEL}})
but it doesn't seem to work, nor does anything else I can think of.
Can anyone suggest a solution to the problem or a better approach to redial?

[Asterisk-Users] Message: "Power alarm on module 1, resetting!"
Has anyone else seen this message, which I am getting written on the console several times a day? Asterisk does not have to be connected to the console, and there is no apparent problem associated with to this message, although I do have problem with noise, especially a ringing type noise that sounds similar to feedback on many voicemail messages and problems with garbled faxes, maybe for the same reason. The system has Digium FXO and FXS cards only. If module 1 refers to channel 1, then it is a Digium T100P. Of course, I don't know for sure that this message comes from Asterisk, but other people have reported it on Asterisk systems (http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg26076.html), and I can't find any reports that don't involve Asterisk. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

[Asterisk-Users] Deleting old voicemail messages
It would be nice to have an option to delete voicemail messages that reached a certain age, or to delete those that are delivered by e-mail.

[Asterisk-Users] Garbled Faxes
Title: Garbled Faxes My incoming and outgoing faxes are garbled and sometimes get disconnected. I remember reading somewhere that I should use u-law for faxes, but I don’t know how to do that. The fax is connected to a Digium FXS card and the calls come in or go out on a Digium FXO card. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thanks. Jim
[Asterisk-Users] If one extension is busy...
Title: If one extension is busy... One of my users has two extensions, both of which ring simultaneously when a call comes in for her. This works fine. If her primary extension is busy, then she is on the phone and there is no reason to ring the secondary extension. In this case, the call should go directly to voicemail, but it in fact rings the alternate extension before going to voicemail. This gives the caller the perception that she is available, but did not answer. How can I program it to go directly to voicemail if her primary line is busy? I could start out by testing to see if the line is busy using GotoIf, if I knew how to test for busy. Alternately, I could ring her primary line for 1 second and go to voicemail if it is busy. Then I could ring both lines together for a longer period of time. However, I’m afraid it might not work if she picked up just as the one second was up. Can anyone suggest a solution? Thanks. Jim

[Asterisk-Users] Unreliable Fax
Title: Unreliable Fax The Asterisk system only has Digium FXS and FXO boards, and the auto attendant routes fax calls to one of the FXS boards. It works sometimes, but most long faxes stop in the middle and some faxes do not appear to even be answered. It may depend on which of the two FXO lines the fax comes in on, but it’s hard to prove because I can’t find information about which line was used. The computer is a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 with 512 MB RAM. Any ideas what the problem is? I read that I need to use u-law, but I don’t know how to specify that. Thanks. Jim
[Asterisk-Users] Pickup
Title: Pickup The extension for Pickup seems to be *8#, but I cannot find it anywhere in any configuration file. Is this a “hard wired” extension? Are there other hard wired extensions? If so, is there a list? What priority do they have? Is there any way to change them or map additional extensions to these functions? Thanks. Jim
[Asterisk-Users] "Call did not go through"
Title: "Call did not go through"
Whenever an outside number is dialed, Asterisk says “We’re sorry. Your call did can not be completed as dialed. Please check the number and dial again or call your attendant to help you.” I have tried many configurations, but let me give the simplest: It fails when a local number is dialed and the context contains only the following rule:
[default]
exten => _9NXX,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:1})
where
TRUNK = Zap/1&Zap/2
which are Digium FXO cards.
It works with
exten =>9,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN})
Furthermore, it was working before. To my knowledge, the only thing I changed to make it fail was to shut down the working test system, move it to the actual environment, and make it live. I had been testing with only one of the two CO lines. Maybe I changed something in extension.conf, but if so I don’t know what it was.
Incoming and intercom calls work fine.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong? Thanks.
Jim
