[asterisk-users] About faxes recived through a PRI and passed to a fax machine connected to a FXS port
Hi, all I want to configure a few FXS ports in an Antribank-16 to be able to receive faxes sent throught a PRI: E1 ==>Zap * ==>FXS * ==>Fax machine My asterisk box has a Digium TE120P (for the PRI). Versions are *=> 1.4.17 | Zaptel=>1.4.8 | libpri=>1.4.5 The Astribank is not configured yet, because I am a little bit confused about how to do it. Let's say I configure the FXS ports in the Astribank as channels 41 & 42 (only 2 for the moment). I dedicated DIDs 11 & 22 for internal faxes. Can I just set the dial plan for : (not actual coonfig) exten=> 11,1,Dial(Zap/41) exten=> 22,1,Dial(Zap/42) Do I need any other piece of software? I know 1.6-beta is capable of managing faxes properly, but I won't upgrade my * if any other option is available.

Hmmm... One full E1 span will get you channels 1-31 (even if you use only up to channel 24, the span will register 31 channels). So the FXS ports of the Astribank will occupy ports 32-39 and 46-53 (40-45 are the I/O ports). But then again, normally you just use zapconf / genzaptelconf and get a working configuration. So I suspect you got the channel numbers wrong there. > > I dedicated DIDs 11 & 22 for internal faxes. > > Can I just set the dial plan for : (not actual coonfig) > > exten=> 11,1,Dial(Zap/41) > exten=> 22,1,Dial(Zap/42) Basically yes, except the Zaptel channel numbers. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +972-50-7952406 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xorcom.com iax:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/tzafrir ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

You do not have to do anything else. When Asterisk detects a fax tone it will disable echo cancellation on those channels so the fax can go through. Just make sure that the Astribank is the sync source for timing and you should be able to send and receive faxes. In your dialplan you should always make sure you have a command that follows the dial command (in case the fax is already busy or does not answer).

I used those numbers as an example, but I though I could relocate the Astribank channels to a higher number and have a cleaner setup. I don't like using automatic tools, because they used the american defaults. Should I just use zapconf/genzaptelconf and change the zones?

Those numbers are set at zaptel registration time. So there's not much freedom for you to set them. You could assign channels to groups at your whim (baring that there are only 64 of them). > > I don't like using automatic tools, because they used the american defaults. The default can be changed by setting lc_country in /etc/{sysconfig,default}/zaptel . > > Should I just use zapconf/genzaptelconf and change the zones? That's another possibility. You can always hadncraft your own, of course. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +972-50-7952406 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xorcom.com iax:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/tzafrir ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
