Hello all I notice there have been many mails flying about regarding fax softare and hylafax.. I have what i thought would be a simpler solution but i am still a bit lost with it. I have a normal fax machine installed as extension 2004 on a sipura. I also have a X100P. I think i am right in saying that the X100P can tell if a fax is coming in , does that mean i can redirect an incoming fax to ext 2004? of course i could be missing the plot completely and the X100P does can not do this. Any ideas greatly appreciated. -- Kind Regards Simon

They all need to connect the one of the TDM400 extensions to fax-modem or voice-fax-modem and redirect incoming faxes to that extension. Even if they are in the same computer the have to do this connection physically.> I have what i thought would be a simpler solution but i am still a bit > lost with it. > I have a normal fax machine installed as extension 2004 on a sipura. > I also have a X100P. > I think i am right in saying that the X100P can tell if a fax is coming > in , does that mean i can redirect an incoming fax to ext 2004? of > course i could be missing the plot completely and the X100P does can not > do this.I don't know anything fax detection in asterisk/zap. But, I am trying to do the same but I have third type of ring for incoming faxes. My telco has given me a different telephone number for fax. It still rings on the same line as my main number but with a different ring type. So far, I have not been able to turn on the "usedistinctiveringdetection" flag.> Any ideas greatly appreciated.-- Verify this digital signature at http://www.mandrakesecure.net/cks/ Generate your own digital signature with http://www.gnupg.org/
There is a special extension, called "fax," that you use to specify
where
you want incoming fax calls to go. It detects faxes by the CNG tone and
sends them where you specify. Here is an example:
exten => fax,1,Dial(${Fax}) ; Use Zap channel for 2004 instead of ${Fax}
There are some faxes that do not send CNG tones, so this will occasionally
fail for that reason. You might also send calls that time out to the fax
extension, or you can use distinctive ringing, as someone else suggested.
Let me know how this works for you. I am still having trouble with garbled
fax transmissions once I get a connection to the fax, and I would be
interested in your experience sending and receiving faxes.
Jim

Hello all
I notice there have been many mails flying about regarding fax softare
and hylafax..
I have what i thought would be a simpler solution but i am still a bit
lost with it.
I have a normal fax machine installed as extension 2004 on a sipura.
I also have a X100P.
I think i am right in saying that the X100P can tell if a fax is coming
in , does that mean i can redirect an incoming fax to ext 2004? of
course i could be missing the plot completely and the X100P does can not
do this.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

thanks for the help I have added exten => fax,1,Dial(SIP/2004) in my extensions.conf What i can see from the CLI is that asterisk is reporting fax detected but no fax extension , have i got the syntax wrong or do i need to add it elseware thanks again Simon Jim Sneeringer wrote:>There is a special extension, called "fax," that you use to specify where >you want incoming fax calls to go.
