Won't they keep sending them if they seem to be received? Only if they actually have the wrong fax number on record. Most of the time it's just a misdial. I guess another feature would be to bounce a fax back that says 'Please check your number and try again', with a phone number to call (us) if they can't understand that simple message.

Thanks all for the answers, Calls are being forced into the Fax, so there is no fax detection. I will send some CLI traces as soon as I have one stable platform on which taking them. Right now we are reinstalling things and also investigating which is the context where the fax calls are sent. We are not using NVfax detect as fax enters through a zap channel, not a SIP one.

Hi,I certainly don't want to integrate fax-e-mail support into spandsp.I think our problem is not connected with spandsp and fax - email integration. All the applications I mean spandsp txfax and rxfax are enough to have emial - fax functionality in Asterisk. I wrote a program which allows me to convert emial to tiff, it is also not a problem to turn Asterisk to be a small email server (I use qmail). Only problem is with the txfax (or I don't with what, maybe with synchronization to my Telco). When Asterisk launch the txfax application sometimes (quite often) something cause it to hangup the Zap channel and fax transmission goes to the space!. On http://soft-switch.org/spandsp_faq/ar01s08.html I found that this can be cause by the synchronization problem, correct me if I'm wrong. But there is a little, that I can do about it. What should I change to be synchronized with Telco (linux version, hardware or.)

It works. Last Thur, I had 98 virtual modems recognized and running under Hylafax. So far, I can send and recieve faxes reasonably well but there's some configuration issues I have to get out of the way before I would beta it on my users. I expect that Hylafax to a couple of plain old USR modems running on /ttys0 and /ttys1 would work fine enough even if Asterisk was on the box. Even though the postscript conversion is done on the server that can be controlled with -nice.After that all that Hylafax has to do is service the modems and the clients.This seems to be pretty low overhead - I think the client protocol is FTP on a nonstandard port, and servicing a couple of modems at 9600 can't be too taxing. Hell, 25 modems shouldn't be taxing, on a modern machine. BTW I have used, installed, admin'd etcabout a dozen big Windows faxing solutions(basically all of the big players) and I've never used Hylafax before, and I was really impressed.

[Asterisk-Users] Re: Fax Support
I was able to get spandsp spandsp-0.0.2pre21.tar.gz working in 1.2.1, but you must manually copy the patch changes over to the Makefile in the \usr\src\asterisk\apps directory. I followed the following directions found by googling asterisk spandsp. === Make sure libtiff is installed on your machine. Versions 3.5.7, 3.6.0 and 3.7.1 seem to work OK. There have been several bugs related to FAX document handling in some recent versions of libtiff. Also, some people have had trouble using spandsp because they had more than one version of libtiff on their machine. Take care with this. You will also need libxml2 installed. The FAX facility does not use this, but some other parts of spandsp do. If you are using an RPM based system, such as RedHat or Fedora, you will need the libtiff, libtiff-devel, libxml2 and libxml2-devel RPMs installed. Use the usual: ./configure make make install process to build the spandsp library. Note that if you use configure in this way, the software will be installed in /usr/local. In this case make sure your /etc/ld.so.conf file has an entry for /usr/local/lib and then run 'ldconfig' command. Next, put app_rxfax.c, app_txfax.c and Makefile.patch in your Asterisk apps directory. Use the command: patch Makefile.patch within the apps directory, to patch your make file so it will build the new application. If the patching process fails, don't be too surprised. The patch file was generated for a specific revision of Asterisk, and things change. It would be difficult to produce a completely generic patch. If you look through the patch, and the Makefile, I think most people should be able to work out what is needed. Now rebuild and install Asterisk. (I had to manually insert the +lines data from the patch to the Makefile, and be sure to observe TABs as space char are not acceptable and halted the compiler.) Now if you put something like: exten = 1234567,1,rxfax(/home/steveu/testfax.tif) in your Asterisk extensions.conf file, a call to 1234567 should invoke the fax facility, to receive a fax to the file /home/steveu/testfax.tif. Alternatively: exten = 1234567,1,txfax(/home/steveu/testfax.tif) in your Asterisk extensions.conf file will cause a call to 1234567 to invoke the fax facility to send the file /home/steveu/testfax.tif to a calling fax machine. When sending a fax it is more likely you will be calling out to the remote FAX machine. In this case, make your Asterisk call the far FAX machine, and when it answers do: exten = 1234567,1,txfax(/home/steveu/testfax.tif|caller) The addition of |caller will make txfax act as a calling machine, rather than an answering machine. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newsgroups: gmane.comp.telephony.pbx.asterisk.user Sent: Friday, December 30, 2005 1:17 PM Subject: Fax Support Can anyone guide me enabling fax support in asterisk.

[Asterisk-Users] Re: Fax between Asterisk SIP clients
SpanDSP comes with app_rxfax and app_txfax. If you need to send a fax, you can initiate this from one of your ATA connected fax machines. For automation, you can use call files (a sample is at /usr/src/asterisk/sample.call) or the Asterisk Manager API. Another method, although less automated- you could have an extension that you dial into to kick the whole proces off. If you need fax detection, you can try NVFaxDetect and NVBackgroundDetect. For PDF/TIFF fax to e-mail, try NVFaxEmail. Contact me off list if you need more help.

[Asterisk-Users] Re: FAX with Asterisk
Hi Nahid, I think youll want a fax on-ramp and off-ramp on your asterisk boxes instead of trying to send a fax using VoIP (SIP). I believe it is possible but not recommended. There are technical reasons for this that you can find online in many places. Basically asterisk answers the fax and sends it to your fax program. the fax progam receives the fax, turns it into a TIFF file and emails it to the other end of your network. then the process is reversed and the TIFF is faxed via software out the T1 at the other end. This process has a standard called T.37. Im not sure if there is currently support for this in asterisk or not (search the archieves) but its what I do with our Cisco router and a very neat little windows fax program called T37FSP from Sandler Consulting. You could prolly use the free version for testing. hope this helps, cheers, Mick Nahid Hossain [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:!~!UENERkVCMDkAAQACABgABittf/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I want to do FAX through Asterisk with the following scenario: Fax Machine --àNortel PBX ---à E1 (euro-isdn) ---à Asterisk -à SIP -àAsteriskà E1 (euro-isdn)-àNortel PBX--à Fax Machine Is there anyone who can help me to configure the above scenario without any extra application/software.

[Asterisk-Users] Re: Fax detect/transfer problem?
I've been running into something similar. The fax detect works reliably to auto transfer the call. I see it Goto the new context, but instead of actually ringing the fax extension, it just fails over as though it's busy or something. I can always manually dial to the fax extension with success. Sometimes the auto transfer will ring successfully. But then for at least several minutes after a successful ring through, an auto transfer will continue to jump but fail to ring. I'll paste some log results in a follow up to illustrate. Detection seems to be working okay. If I call in with a voice call, my two voice SIP phones ring as normal, etc. If I call in with a fax call, it seems like Asterisk is detecting the fax correctly, but the fax never rings, and the call is just dropped. Fax rings fine and is answered if I call ext. 2003 though. Here's the event log: ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

You said it would automatically go to [fax] if in zapata.conf is set
faxdetect=both
If so, than we could use NO number, but s as extension, would that be
right?
NOTE: asterisk automatically jumps to the [fax] context if you are using
faxdetect in your zapata.conf

I don't have found metasend on my system. Do you know where it is?
I based this config on the excellent information found at the following
website:
http://scottstuff.net/scott/archives/000152.html
At this web site I find also a line:
|*CLI database put extensionemail 2202 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How does that fit together with|
macro-faxreceive,103 ???
This methode would cover the part of receiving a fax via a zap device, how to
exend it to receive a fax from a remote gateway via G711?

I based this config on the excellent information found at the following
website:

But note that I heavily modified the mailfax script from the original
version. Why?
1.) The original used the Perl mime-construct script, which has a lot
of annoying Perl dependencies.
2.) The original didn't send usable MIME attachments to me. Neither
KMail or Evolution could successfully decode the attachment
because the email contained no text/plain part.
My script uses metasend from the metamail package, instead of
mime-construct, and it adds an empty text/plain section at the beginning
of the email so that KMail and Evolution and probably other mail clients
can decode the attachment properly. The trade off is that it has to use
temporary files. Uck. :)
Anyway, the above does everything you need, except the ability to email
the fax to an email specified in voicemail.conf. You'll have to figure
that part out yourself. The above simply emails the message to a static
address. No DIDs or anything.
Also, you'll probably have to change some of the paths for things like
tiff2pdf and metasend.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Fax to Email
I've had a question related to this: what's the deal with frame slippage on the Digium TDM analog cards? What would cause this? How can one correct for this? I've recently seen a bad buzz every 6 seconds or so, heard by callers when calls are bridged with my TDM card analog phones. Any information you know of online about this? Thanks in advance for any help you can give! Don't know about the buzz every 6 seconds, but I assume you mean mean missed frames as opposed to frame slippage. Right? The missed frames issue seems to be related to two possible items: 1. other devices on the pci bus not relinquishing the bus in time for the TDM to move data across the bus. 2. pci bus design issues with certain motherboards There have been many postings related to item #1. One recent posting related to IDE disk usage and its impact on the pci bus. There were also many postings relative to motherboard issues over the last twelve months. Some found that swapping a 3 ghz motherboard for an older/slower P3 motherboard fixed their problem. (That really implies a different pci bus design; had nothing to do with P3 vs P4, processor speed, memory, etc. The TDM card wants to move data across the pci bus at the rate of 1,000 interrupts per second. Essentially, there is no buffering on the TDM card, therefore if one interrupt can't be handled before the next frame of pcm data on the TDM card is ready, the frame is lost/missed. One or two of those per second will probably not be noticed, however as the number of missed frames increase, so do the chances those missed frames will impact the audio quality. If the number of missed frames is rather large, the resulting audio might suffer from clicks, no audio, buzz, etc. Digium tech support suggests running /usr/src/zaptel/zttest to get a perspective of how well the interrupt structure is operating. They have suggested that values around 99.975% and below represent an inadequate interrupt structure that will impact audio. I'm not having any audio problems at all with results like: Best: 99.975586 -- Worst: 99.975586 -- Average: 99.975586 However, I cannot use Steve Underwood's spandsp reliably, and that is very likely because of missed frames (missed interrupts). I'll be swapping motherboards to verify/validate that for sure. Attempts to use a modem through the TDM card with missed frames is a serious problem even though missed frames may not have any noticable impact on audio. I'm not sure I trust Digium's represetation that 99.975% is a bad number. Multiplying 1,000 interrupts per second by .99975 results in 999.75 valid interrupts. Looks like a rounding or floating point issue in zttest to me. A single missed interrupt would be 99.9000%, well below where Digium indicates the threashold to be. If I run zttest -v, I see: 8192 samples in 8190 sample intervals 99.975586% which implies two additional samples were received over and above those that were sent. That certainly suggests a different issue then missed frames, interrupt problem, or pci bus issue. Guess I'll need to run debug against that just to better understand what this is supposed to be measuring. Hopefully this rambling sheads a little lite on the subject. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Fax detection
Hello,
I'm attempting to configure my office Asterisk server to do fax
detection for each one of our DID's configured for different users.
Each person in our office has their own phone number, and I want each
to do both voice fax.
Fax detection works great when configured like this:
exten = fax,1,Macro(faxreceive)
exten = fax,2,SetVar([EMAIL PROTECTED])
exten = h,1,system(/usr/local/sbin/mailfax ${FAXFILE} ${EMAILADDR}
${CALLERIDNUM} ${CALLERIDNAME})
This will detect any incoming fax for this particular context and
basically work as expected.
I attempted to do some callerid matching to ensure the correct person
gets their fax.
When configured like this, Asterisk doesn't match the incoming DID to
the fax user in question.
exten = fax/3172152560,1,Macro(faxreceive)
exten = fax/3172152560,2,SetVar([EMAIL PROTECTED])
exten = h,1,system(/usr/local/sbin/mailfax ${FAXFILE} ${EMAILADDR}
${CALLERIDNUM} ${CALLERIDNAME})
This didn't work!
I then tried this:
exten = fax,1,Macro(faxreceive)
exten = fax/3172152560,2,SetVar([EMAIL PROTECTED])
exten = fax/3172152561,2,SetVar([EMAIL PROTECTED])
exten = h,1,system(/usr/local/sbin/mailfax ${FAXFILE} ${EMAILADDR}
${CALLERIDNUM} ${CALLERIDNAME})
this also didn't work, although it did everything but set the e-mail
variable.
Any ideas?
Niles
Send your output from Asterisk. Also, your second example needs to be
reordered (priorities are not numbered right).
Are you coming in on ZAP?

Well, then you need to renumber the priorities! Below is a start. Your
code does not do any emailing, by the way... what happens when you set
the EMAILADDR variable? Nothing... you need to add a handler script to
send the email.
[macro-faxreceive]
exten = s,1,SetVar(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${UNIQUEID}.tif)
exten = s,2,rxfax(${FAXFILE})
exten = s,3,SetVar([EMAIL PROTECTED])
exten = s,3,System(SOME EMAILING CODE HERE)
exten = s,5,Goto(1)
--Luki
Or you can use NVFaxEmail to eliminate the scripting, however it still
requires SpanDSP and RxFax.
Look on the wiki for more information. It's either NVFaxEmail or
NVEmailFax - can't remember right now.

exten = s,1,NVFaxDetect

Why not just kill yourself, fucking wannabe spammer? DIE DIE DIE I am using Underwood's fax system for fax on demand and it's very cool. I am planning to do the following and I would like to know if it's possible before putting my hands on it. For a specific application, I want to dialout thousands of numbers searching for fax machines. If somebody takes the call(voice), I would flag that number as bad in the DB. If it's a voice only answer machine, I would flag that number also as bad. But if it's a fax or an answer machine with fax, I would flag that number as valid fax number for future use. Is that possible?

[Asterisk-Users] Re: fax over tdm400p
My solution was to use app_rxfax() and some glue to have faxes automatically converted to PDFs and placed in a samba share. Could you describe more detaily how this could be done. I plan to do ou can start from here ftp://ftp.opencall.org/pub/spandsp I had to manually modify the apps/Makefile to get a clean compile but it is working here you can find a guide to get it working in your dialplan http://scottstuff.net/scott/archives/000152.html Sergio ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[Asterisk-Users] Re: fax over tdm400p
Sending works nearly perfect. It's the receiving that is a pain. Well, txfax/rxfax is not exactly what we're talking about here. yes that is right. I have problems sending and receiving I'm using a v90 modem/fax to test the analog fax from a different tdm400p port you can hear some click during the handshake between the v90 and the analog fax and I think that is disturbing the handshake or the connection. Too many ECM retransmission so something is going wrong. Maybe it's just an hardware issue. I should try to change the pci slot and the power cord from the PSU. Well I'm still curious to know if someone has got fax over tdm400p working.

[Asterisk-Users] Re: fax over tdm400p
The situation is opposite here: I have a Philips fax connceted to an fxs port of a TDM31B, and receiving from the fax to * with rxfax works great, while transmitting with txfax *never* works... did you hear something wrong during the fax handshake? any micro interruption (click sound) or something similar? thx Sergio ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Configure the ATA to do alaw so asterisk doesn't have to do any transcoding and hope it works. 2) use spandsp on my asterisk system and add suitable print queues 3) get an separate analog line and plug a fax into it 4) use a fax modem on the back of an existing system and an ATA (like 1 but even less hardware) 5) use a fax-to-email service I've been reading about all the problems that people have with fax. What do folk recommend? Get a separate analog line and plug a fax into it. It's an unfortunate expenditure, but Asterisk just does not do fax very well. There seems to be some bug with it and receiving faxes. Andrew's experience seems to indicate that you could mix numbers 1 2 with success. In other words, send with #1, and receive with #2. I don't have any experience with #2. My experience with #1 is that sending works fine, but receiving is not fine. We have a PRI and I run both incoming and outgoing faxes through a TDM400P. It works without problems. No need to mess with codecs/compression at all. The signal that comes in on the PRI is the same one that goes out to the fax machine and vice versa. The fax machine is a big ricoh multifunction unit. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[Asterisk-Users] Re: fax over tdm400p
I'm unable to get faxes working over tdm400p (4fxs modules) Too many errors sending and receiving faxes with an analog fax 1) echocancel=no on the zap channels 2) ztmonitored the channel for a good/low audio volume I can now send faxes just fine, but I cannot for the life of me get reliable fax reception, nor can I get the stamp machine to work well. I took out the thanks for the reply andrew. Yes the fax sometimes works sending and receiving but it's not working as I was expected. Something wrong in the TDM or in the drivers. Maybe it's just a low power problem I will try to change the pci slot and the power connector but I think tdm is good for voice not for data. My solution was to use app_rxfax() and some glue to have faxes automatically converted to PDFs and placed in a samba share. yes I was trying it out. I'm using an eicon diva with integrated softmodem and I can use capiAnswerFax but I would be able to use an old analog fax. Maybe I should buy one of those sip-fxs converters Sergio ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Steve,
Can you kindly elaborate on that. As I mention in my original post, I
understand that it is possible for calls comming in on a Zap channel, but my
tests and wiki documentation suggest that it is limited to that.
If you can shed some more light on this I would be greatful.
should something like this work ? if the incomming call is from a SIP
channel
[default]
exten = s,1,Answer
exten = s,2,Dial(IAX2/3987,40,r)
exten = s,3,Hangup
exten = fax,1,SetVar(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk-fax/${UNIQUEID}.tif)
exten = fax,2,rxfax(${FAXFILE})
Thanks

Hi Reinhard Hmmm very interesting. I am using chan_modem_i4l to access my gazel ISDN PCI cards. I must tell you though that I have two fax machines the one sends perfectly and the other fails (sounds similar to your problem wrt training errors). Not quite sure where to go from here.

I am going to listen to the line (as Steve suggested in an earlier post) and will post my findings. I think you will find a common thread wrt echo on chan_modem_i4l. That method wasn't meant rally for voice traffic and therefore has some variable delays. In the case of data, the timing isn't critical as a data app will eat the data at about any speed, in voice it is critical to have specific timing and even more so in fax or modem audio. If you can switch to Kapejods CAPI driver then it should be better. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Reinhard Max Sent: 14 January 2004 10:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Asterisk-Users] RE: Fax Hi, On Tue, 13 Jan 2004 at 21:06, Jason Penton wrote: (I have successfully managed to receive faxes thru my isdn card so I don't see why I shouldn't be able to send them). that's interesting, as in my tests it was just the other way around.
