asterisk users - Jul 2005 - Asterisk/Hylafax <=> Receive/Send faxes

Hi,
Can you tell me how to configure Hylafax + Asterisk in order to be able to 
receive/send faxes.
Best regards,
Guan

I have hylafax attached to a Sipura ATA, and just have Asterisk route
calls to the fax DID to that ATA. I wouldn't recommend doing this as
it is highly unreliable and only about 50-60% of the faxes actually
finish.

As far as I know, you can't route faxes to hylafax within the same
box, however Asterisk does have some fax functions, with spandsp which
works similar to hylafax's faxgetty.

If you have an incoming T1/E1 line:

telco --> T1/E1 --> TE405P/TE410P --> Asterisk --> TE405P/TE410P 
(another port)  --> T1/E1 fax modem --> HylaFAX

or:

telco --> T1/E1 --> TE405P/TE410P --> Asterisk --> TE405P/TE410P 
(another port)  --> channel bank --> analog fax modem --> HylaFAX


If you don't have an incoming T1/E1 line (you've just got analog lines 
coming in) then just get yourself another analog line for your analog 
fax modem and bypass Asterisk altogether.  Look up the archives for 
"TDM" and "fax" to get a synopsis as to why you don't
want to run fax
through Asterisk on analog channels.
