Hi all,

 

I was wondering if someone would mind giving me an example of how to configure a fax machine with asterisk. We would ideally like to have 2 fax extensions configured, one is a modem for faxing the other is an actual fax machine. I’m not sure if I should configure them as standard extensions or if they should be in their own context or what. The user guide doesn’t seem to talk about faxing so any help is greatly appreciated. I’m confused about contexts and signaling (fxo fxs) and how they effect faxing.

 

I have tried many configurations in extensions.conf and Zapata.conf. Here is an example of our part of our extensions.conf file……

 

[globals]

FAX=Zap/13

 

[default]

include => voicemail

include => phones

include => functions

include => pbxsupport

 

include => incomingfax

 

exten => s,1,Answer

exten => s,2,DigitTimeout,5

exten => s,3,ResponseTimeout,10

exten => s,4,Background(std-welcome)

exten => 0,1,Macro(stdexten,200,${RINGOUT})

exten => 1,1,Macro(stdexten,201,${ACCESSSERVICES})

exten => 1,2,Goto,default|s|4

exten => 3,1,Macro(stdexten,205,${SOFTWARE})

exten => 3,2,Goto,default|s|4

exten => 4,1,Macro(stdexten,205,${INFRASTRUCTURE})

exten => 4,2,Goto,default|s|4

exten => 5,1,Macro(stdexten,202,${PDAMOBILE})

exten => 5,2,Goto,default|s|4

exten => 8,1,Background(std-directory)

 

exten => fax,1,Goto,incomingfax|s|1

 

exten => #,1,Hangup

exten => t,1,Goto(#,1)

exten => i,1,Playback(invalid)

exten => o,1,Macro(stdexten,200,${RINGOUT})

 

[incomingfax]

exten => s,1,Dial(${FAX},30,d)

exten => s,2,Hangup

 

 

Zapata.conf ……

 

;FAX line

callerid="fax" <207>

context=incomingfax

channel => 13

 

 

Thanks,
