[asterisk-users] Fax for Asterisk - Fax routing based on TSID
I'm using Fax For Asterisk, and trying to optimize the user experience while ROUTING faxes based on the Transmitting Station ID [sic] (NOT the CALLERID). Specifically I'm trying to eliminate end-user confusion as that fifty page fax spools to a file, creating a significant delay, leaving the user to wonder why am I not getting my fax--they said it's currently sending. A better user-experience would be to begin TX'ing the fax (at the same or slower speed than RX) after a page or two has been spooled as a buffer. If I'm using SendFax from the dialplan it appears that I would need to spool an entire incoming fax to file (to completion) before I could route said fax based on the Transmitting Station ID However if I were to drive the fax process from manager rather than from the dialplan, would the TSID be available for read before RX completion, AND (equally important) would sendfax even tolerate sending a fax from an still-spooling RX file? In other words, does the application require that the spool file be complete and closed before it would allow you to begin paying it out 'from the top'?

Re: [asterisk-users] Fax for Asterisk - Fax routing based on TSID
Receipt of the fax could be handled in the manner you describe using something like Ghostscript to parse the partial file into pages as it came in. Sending the file is pretty much an all or none proposition unless you did something funky like splitting the file into chunks and sending in consecutive sessions. I'm pretty sure FFA doesn't let you say send 123 etc. -Original Message- From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Karl Fife Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2009 10:02 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [asterisk-users] Fax for Asterisk - Fax routing based on TSID I'm using Fax For Asterisk, and trying to optimize the user experience while ROUTING faxes based on the Transmitting Station ID [sic] (NOT the CALLERID).

I don't think that the current FFA applications will do what you want. Even if you could somehow manage this, any delay in the receiving process could cause it to get 'behind' the sending process, which would then abort due to an incomplete file. That's even assuming that the SendFAX application will accept an incomplete TIFF/F file in the first place :-) Even with FAX gateway support you wouldn't be able to achieve this, because the gateway outbound link would be setup before the TSID is received. What might be possible is to have a page-per-file mode, so that as each page is received it is stored in a separate file; you could then watch for 'received page' events and transmit the pages that had been received up to that point. I'll do a bit of research to see if this is possible. -- Kevin P.
