asterisk users - Nov 2004 - Yet another faxing issue..

Hello,

fax/ata(ht286) -> asterisk/tdm04b -> pstn fax machine

I can fax out from the sip side, but I can't fax in from the PSTN side.

When I try to send a fax, asterisk sees the call and show me this:

"Redirecting Zap/1-1 to fax extension"
"Timeout on Zap/1-1"

TCPDUMP doesn't show any activity to the extension that I configured to
be the fax machine. Here's my config:

extensions.conf
;
; Zap Fax
;
exten => 8021,1,Dial(SIP/8021,20)
exten => 8021,2,Hangup

[incoming]

exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,Wait,1
exten => s,3,DigitTimeout(10)           
exten => s,4,ResponseTimeout(20)
exten => s,5,Background(vm-extension)
exten => fax,1,Goto(8021,30)
exten => fax,2,Congestion
exten => fax,102,Congestion
exten => t,1,Hangup

zapata.conf

[channels]

context=incoming
switchtype=national
signalling=fxs_ks
rxwink=300
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
callwaiting=yes
usecallingpres=yes
callwaitingcallerid=yes
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
cancallforward=yes
callreturn=yes
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
rxgain=1.5
txgain=1.5
group=1
callgroup=1
pickupgroup=1
immediate=no
busydetect=yes
busycount=4
faxdetect=incoming
channel => 1-4

Yes, I realize faxing isn't reliable but I should at least get
something. Any ideas? Thanks,

- Darren

I thinkg this should be goto(8021,1)

Goto(extension,priority)

Great, except your fax extension is in a different context, except you
didn't tell us what it is called.
show application goto will help you put the fax context name into the
goto command.

Also, the priority for the goto should be 1.

eg: exten => fax,1,goto(faxcontext,8021,1)
You seem to have confused the goto and the dial. AFAIK a goto will never
jump n+101, nor continue in the dial plan.
