Sometimes Hylafax reports that a modem is wedged and this modem remain wedged until we restart IAXModem daemon. When all modems becames wedged the server can't send and receive any fax. IAXmodems do wedge sometimes, and I currently advise users to develop a resetmodem (see 'man wedged') to automatically reset the iaxmodem. It's not clear to me why the iaxmodems sometimes wedge. It essentially means that somewhere the iaxmodem code is either stuck in an endless loop, blocking on a read somewhere that shouldn't block, or something of that nature. If you could capture the gdb or strace of an iaxmodem as it gets wedged, then that would be most-helpful. However, I can tell you that the wedging occurs more-frequently in cases where there are other problems such as line audio quality issues or lots of non-fax numbers being used accidentally. So your use of SIP (VoIP) for what should be a lossless data channel is probably a factor there.

GF == Gianni Fioretta gianni.fiore...@yetopen.it writes: GF disallow=all GF allow=alaw Given that, the sip leg will only permit alaw. The fact that the log showed no common codec means the other side did not include alaw in the codecs it offered. Perhaps for some destinations it will only offer ulaw? A sip debug or packet trace would show what it offered. I don't see anything in the iax.conf to explain the deadlock(?). Perhaps iax debug output, and/or a packet trace of the iax might explain it? I do recall some posts in the past about issues with sip-iax conversion. I don't remember *how* far in the past, or whether debian/ ubuntu's 1.8 might be affected. I'd run rasterisk -n in a script session, run 'sip set debug on' and 'iax2 set debug on' and wait for a modem to stop responding. (It might be a good idea to run script on a larger box and ssh into the asterisk box w/in the script session if the asterisk box has limited storage. The debug output could get LARGE before a modem stops.) The script command is in the bsdutils package (apt-get install bsdutils). -JimC -- James Cloos cl...@jhcloos.com OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

[asterisk-users] Asterisk + iaxmodem + hylafax makes sometimes wedged for hylafax
Hi, we have a faxserver with Asterisk, IAXModem and Hylafax. Faxes come from a SIP trunk to Asterisk, then are forwarded throught 5 IAXModems managed with Hylafax. Hylafax users can also send faxes to these modems and Asterisk send them throught the SIP trunk. We also have a dedicated modem used only for sending faxes coming from an Hylafax dedicated user. Sometimes Hylafax reports that a modem is wedged and this modem remain wedged until we restart IAXModem daemon. When all modems becames wedged the server can't send and receive any fax. We have enabled iax2debug, but no errors appears anyway. Here's an example of the faxstat hylafax command, modem4 is reported as wedged: $faxstat -as HylaFAX scheduler on srv-faxserver.comune.local: Running Modem ttyIAX4 (): Waiting for modem to come ready Modem ttyIAX99 (): Running and idlem Modem ttyIAX3 (): Running and idle0 Modem ttyIAX2 (): Running and idleS Modem ttyIAX5 (): Running and idlem Modem ttyIAX1 (): Running and idleS ...but Asterisk reports the modem as ready to work (I think): srv-faxserver*CLI iax2 show peers Name/UsernameHost Mask Port Status modem3/modem3127.0.0.1 (D) 255.255.255.255 4573 OK (3 ms) modem2/modem2127.0.0.1 (D) 255.255.255.255 4572 OK (3 ms) modem1/modem1127.0.0.1 (D) 255.255.255.255 4571 OK (3 ms) modem5/modem5127.0.0.1 (D) 255.255.255.255 4575 OK (3 ms) modem4/modem4127.0.0.1 (D) 255.255.255.255 4574 OK (1 ms) modem99/modem99 127.0.0.1 (D) 255.255.255.255 4599 OK (3 ms) 6 iax2 peers [6 online, 0 offline, 0 unmonitored] Last call for the modem4 in asterisk log: [Jul 4 16:49:00] NOTICE[22999]: chan_iax2.c:8775 update_registry: Restricting registration for peer 'modem1' to 60 seconds (requested 300) [Jul 4 16:49:06] NOTICE[22991]: chan_iax2.c:8775 update_registry: Restricting registration for peer 'modem2' to 60 seconds (requested 300) [Jul 4 16:49:07] NOTICE[22995]: chan_iax2.c:8775 update_registry: Restricting registration for peer 'modem99' to 60 seconds (requested 300) [Jul 4 16:49:07] NOTICE[23000]: chan_iax2.c:8775 update_registry: Restricting registration for peer 'modem3' to 60 seconds (requested 300) [Jul 4 16:49:10] NOTICE[22995]: chan_iax2.c:8775 update_registry: Restricting registration for peer 'modem5' to 60 seconds (requested 300) -- Hungup 'IAX2/modem1-11301' == Spawn extension (default, 224966905, 1) exited non-zero on 'SIP/centralino-0282' [Jul 4 16:49:15] NOTICE[22998]: chan_iax2.c:8775 update_registry: Restricting registration for peer 'modem4' to 60 seconds (requested 300) -- Accepting AUTHENTICATED call from 127.0.0.1: requested format = alaw, requested prefs = (), actual format = alaw, host prefs = (alaw), priority = mine -- Executing [022483278@fax:1] Dial(IAX2/modem4-8449, SIP/centralino/022483278) in new stack == Using SIP RTP CoS mark 5 -- Called SIP/centralino/022483278 -- Accepting AUTHENTICATED call from 127.0.0.1: requested format = alaw, requested prefs = (), actual format = alaw, host prefs = (alaw), priority = mine -- Executing [0224300258@fax:1] Dial(IAX2/modem2-3460, SIP/centralino/0224300258) in new stack == Using SIP RTP CoS mark 5 -- Called SIP/centralino/0224300258 -- SIP/centralino-0284 is making progress passing it to IAX2/modem2-3460 -- SIP/centralino-0284 is ringing -- SIP/centralino-0284 is making progress passing it to IAX2/modem2-3460 -- SIP/centralino-0283 is making progress passing it to IAX2/modem4-8449 -- SIP/centralino-0283 is ringing -- SIP/centralino-0283 is making progress passing it to IAX2/modem4-8449 -- SIP/centralino-0284 answered IAX2/modem2-3460 [Jul 4 16:49:55] WARNING[22988]: chan_sip.c:9123 process_sdp: Failing due to no acceptable offer found [Jul 4 16:49:55] NOTICE[22991]: chan_iax2.c:8775 update_registry: Restricting registration for peer 'modem1' to 60 seconds (requested 300) [Jul 4 16:50:01] NOTICE[22995]: chan_iax2.c:8775 update_registry: Restricting registration for peer 'modem2' to 60 seconds (requested 300) [Jul 4 16:50:02] NOTICE[23000]: chan_iax2.c:8775 update_registry: Restricting registration for peer 'modem99' to 60 seconds (requested 300) [Jul 4 16:50:02] NOTICE[22994]: chan_iax2.c:8775 update_registry: Restricting registration for peer 'modem3' to 60 seconds (requested 300) [Jul 4 16:50:05] NOTICE[22995]: chan_iax2.c:8775 update_registry: Restricting registration for peer 'modem5' to 60 seconds (requested 300) [Jul 4 16:50:10] NOTICE[23000]: chan_iax2.c:8775 update_registry: Restricting registration for peer 'modem4' to 60 seconds (requested 300) I hope you can help me to understand if the problem is Asterisk or something else.

When iaxmodem registers with asterisk, it defaults to asking that the registration last 300 seconds. Asterisk defaults to permiting only 60 seconds per registration. You can eliminate that notice by configuring both sides with the same duration. In the iaxmodem config files, add a line: refresh 60 to make iaxmodem ask for 60 seconds. Alternatively, change the maxregexpire setting in asterisk's iax.conf (in the [general] section) topermit values at least as large as 300 seconds. -JimC -- James Cloos cl...@jhcloos.com OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

[asterisk-users] Asterisk and hylafax: how to debug ...
Hi,
I hope you might give me some hints on how to find where my
configuration is wrong, I am new to Asterisk and do not know, how to
find the problem.
Running Asterisk (version: 1.8.13.1~dfsg-3) on Debian Wheezy. On the
same maschine: Hylafax fax server. I want hylafax to use t38modem (a
virtual T.38 modem) for sending faxes. t38modem schould connect to
asterisk on the same host.
If hylafax sends a fax it should use t38modem which ist connected to
asterisk. Asterik is expected to establish an outbound connection to my
SIP provider which supports T38. The asterisk box is behind nat.
For some reason, t38modem tells hylafax the line is BUSY so there is no
fax send.
I don't know why there is a busy signal, maybe the call forwarding
configuration is wrong, maybe the registration on my SIP provider fails,
maybe ?
I simply don't know how to debug what's going on. If Asterix trying to
establish an outgoing connection ... Maybe you can help to enlighten me :-)

[asterisk-users] Asterisk IAXmodem HylaFax?
According to the wiki page http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+IAXmodem There are a couple of ways to integrate Asterisk and HylaFax with IAXmodem; IAXmodem as HylaFax modem, both HylaFax and Asterisk on the same machine IAXmodem in conjunction with termnetd+ttyd from the termpkg package (HylaFax and IAXmodem on distant machines) Does anyone have any experience that they would be willing to share with the load and/or other performance caveats using termnetd+ttyd to connect call origination on an Asterisk box with HylaFax on another box? Is it better to just get another PRI and card and run another instance of Asterisk on the HylaFax box, or is the combination of IAXmodem, termnetd, and ttyd lightweight enough to not have this concern?

RE: [asterisk-users] Asterisk IAXmodem HylaFax?
I run HylaFAX on a separate box from my dual PRI Asterisk box, and Asterisk relays the call to HylaFAX when it detects the fax. It relays the call on a private subnet with a crossover Ethernet cable with the slin codec. I have over 200 IAXmodems running on the HylaFAX box, which is an underclocked Athlon 64 running CentOS with a terabyte RAID5 array. HylaFAX automatically converts the fax to PDF and emails it to the enduser. Mail to fax works fine as well, except my Exchange server mungs the mimetype so it chokes on attachment conversion from Exchange, still trying to figure that one out. Fax volume is 100-500 faxes a day from a couple thousand potential senders, with areject rate well under 1%. Load average on the HylaFAX box is usually like 0.01 or 2, with only 256 meg RAM consumed on the server for HylaFAX, sendmail, the usual suspects running. Overall, an outstanding solution that was done for a couple grand. Heap praises on Lee Howard and Steve Underwood for IAXModem and the SpanDSP libraries which made this possible. (I know they read these lists so I don't mind buttering their bread) One unusual thing I had to do was to get my reject rate below 1% I had to alter the Ethernet txqueuelen parameter to 2000 from the stock 1000. Otherwise, works like a champ and it's a set-it and forget-it solution. It's been up for 6 months now without a reboot or any maintenance at all (you can afford to be lazy about log rotation and such when you have a terabyte to play with). Contrast this with our Windows Zetafax server that requires a weekly reboot plus hand-wringing over whether to install weekly patches (and we paid $10K, just for the software). The only thing that keeps me from ditching Zetafax is it has a slick client that people like to use, unlike the barebones / kooky / barely-workingassortment of clients available for Hylafax (Yes, I looked at Cypheus. It's crap. Yes I looked at WinHFC. It's good, but bare-freakin-bones. Yes, I looked at HylaFSP, slick but the wizards would drive my users insane. They just want to send the fax, dammit, not go through 4 or 5 pages of wizards.)

In my experience getting the termnetd/ttyd connection to be resiliant (i.e. what does it do if the connectivity drops and then comes back up later) is not a trivial matter. The other alternative, if you have a typical LAN connection between the HylaFAX box and the Asterisk box, is to run IAXmodem connections over the LAN - so your iaxmodem instances are on the HylaFAX box communicating over the LAN with the Asterisk box. In my experience you really shouldn't experience any jitter on a LAN, and if you do then you probably have network problems. I find this to be a better option than the termnetd/ttyd option in cases where it can be used (i.e. LANs). IAXmodem and HylaFAX proper should not cause much load or performance degredation at all... so little that you can probably neglect it. However, the parts where you do need to worry about load/performance is to do with image conversion... what you do with the received TIFF image *after* it's received... what kinds of incoming documents are handled and how, etc. Lee. ___ --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] Asterisk IAXmodem HylaFax?
Actually lately I have been poking around my Visual Studio .NET IDE and ruminating about writing a client since the FTP protocol HylaFAX uses is quite well documented; the other advantage with using VS instead of Python or gtk or whatever is you can leverage the excellent Microsoft ODBC/DAO plumbing for address books, logging and the like (and a consistient Windows GUI, which Cypheus for example has in spades, it's just too bad it's so flaky) The Zetafax client essentially uses port 139 and submits the .tif to a Windows share so I don;t think it would be really possible to modify it, interesting idea though. -Original Message- From: Lee Howard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 11, 2006 11:36 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk IAXmodem HylaFax?

Aniffyidea if you expect any volume of calls. When the CPU is busy converting files to a images you may experience problems with call quality and MOH quality, up to and including the call dropping entirely. Servers are much cheaper than the time you may otherwise spend trying to debug this type of problem.

I've not investigated the Eicon approach that you suggest below, but if you can get the audio lossless into Asterisk (Zap, ISDN, whatever) then you could use iaxmodem to bridge between Asterisk and HylaFAX. I see Eicon boards are supported by both software, so could I have Hylafax and Asterisk installed on a server with an Eicon card, with channels split between Hylafax and Asterisk? I don't know if this would work or not. Or even just being bridged by Asterisk to Hylafax, somehow? HylaFAX has to talk to a modem device, so I don't know how Asterisk would bridge it to HylaFAX without some intermediary device like an iaxmodem. Could I get away with just one T1, or would i need 2? (one for each software?) You could have as many or as few as you wanted.

I know this question is somewhat open-ended, but Im very curious on how to make the most popular open source PBX work with what seems to be the most popular open source fax server (my perception: I`ve never tried anything with Hylafax) Yes, this is possible of course with the Eicon Diva Server PRI (T1) card. This card provides a CAPI interface where you can connect Asterisk(with chan-capi) and any other CAPI based application like Hylafax. You can e.g. configure chan-capi to use 20 channels and the remaining channels configured in Hylafax. When you use a Eicon Diva Server with DSPs on board, you don't need to worry about CPU power, because fax-receive is done on the DIVA card. So you don't need to 'bridge' something here, it just works.

If this understanding is correct, what is the downside ?Why don't everybody use chan-capi ?Regards Olivier ___ --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

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk and HylaFAX integration
Has anyone done work on this topic? We have an 8-line fax system using a Diva Server card that I'd like to get working using one of the kapejod's QuadBRI adapters :) i.e. is it possible to keep the HylaFAX submission and queue management, but replace the existing backend of a TTY-based client with Asterisk's t38modem / spandsp? I've been down the 'capi4hylafax' route before and it was very depressing so would like to avoid that...

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk and HylaFax
Title: Mensaje Hi all, again I try configure Hylafax with asterisk. I would like configure Asterisk in the next way: 1)An incoming fax go into through X100P 2)Asterisk detects Fax and redirect fax to Hylafax Is it possible?

Yes, but it may not be as pretty as you like, and it may not function as well as you hope. Using faxdetect in your zapata.conf file will get practically all of the faxes coming in to the X100P routed to the fax extension. The trick, then, is how to get HylaFAX at that fax extension. There are a number of different ways to do it, but in each case, in the end, the idea is to get HylaFAX and Asterisk communicating at an Asterisk FXS point. So you could do a number of different arrangements: X100P - Asterisk - SPA-2000 (ATA) - Modem - HylaFAX or X100P - Asterisk - TDM400P (FXS) - Modem - HylaFAX but, at that point you probably would be better off without the X100P like this: TDM400P (FXO) - Asterisk - TDM400P (FXS) - Modem - HylaFAX I will warn you now, however, that the analog-to-digital and then digital-to-analog conversions that are required in these arrangements seem to cause some problems. You may never notice the problems if you use ECM on the receiving modem, but if you pay attention to the ECM logging, you may notice that you'll get more data corruption (and thus retransmissions of data) than you would if you just had the modem plugged into the POTS line directly. I don't know if that's an error on the part of Asterisk, or on the part of all of the ATAs that I've heard mentioned used in this situation. In fact, I've even heard of that same problem when using a TDM card instead of the ATA. Maybe it's just an inherent problem with the A-D D-A conversions. I don't know. In any case, currently the best way (the way without any data corruption as I mention) to interface Asterisk and HylaFAX is to keep everything digital... TE405P - Asterisk - TE405P - T1 Modem (Patton 2977) - HylaFAX But this requires more expensive hardware and more expensive lines and is probably beyond the scope of your project since you're talking about faxdetect and X100Ps. There are some futuristic arrangements that could be done conceivably with some tools that are available, such as spandsp or t38modem, but currently there is no way to interface t38modem with Asterisk and no way to interface spandsp directly with HylaFAX.

Using faxdetect in your zapata.conf file will get practically all of the faxes coming in to the X100P routed to the fax extension. The trick, then, is how to get HylaFAX at that fax extension. Does there exist any sort of bypass box which could be used in the following arrangement: POTS - X100P - Asterisk - TDM400P(FXS) - Fax machine Hypothetical bypass box also plugs into POTS line and Fax machine, able to switch the X100P, Asterisk and the TDP400P out of the circuit, and just connect POTS to Fax directly on some command from the Asterisk PC. Then Asterisk uses faxdetect to send ringing to the fax machine, waits for call to be answered, and sends (RS232?) command to bypass box, allowing fax machine to take the original incoming call without all the analogue - digital - analogue conversion going on. If such a hypothetical bypass box could also detect remote hangup, and drop itself back out of circuit once the call is complete, everything returns back to normal ready for the next call to come in. Electrically it seems like a very simple solution - a 2-pole 2-way relay with RS232 control and line-voltage detection (for the automatic switchover on hangup), however whether such a thing exists and has appropriate type approvals I have no idea Regards, Antony. -- Atheism is a non-prophet-making organisation.
