asterisk users - Feb 2006 - simple iaxmoden configuration

Hi everyone,

I am trying to get iaxmodem up and running.
This is a very basic setup, which at this moment should only answer
incoming faxes.

What I did:

zapata.conf (rest of it should be fine):
faxdetect=incoming
group = 1
channel => 1-2
context=from-pstn

iax.conf:
[200]
username=200
type=friend
callerid="Fax" <200>
secret=dooo
host=dynamic
notransfer=yes
allow=all
context=from-pstn


extensions.conf:
[from-pstn]
exten => fax,1,Dial(IAX2/200)

/etc/iaxmodem-cfg.ttyIAX:
device          /dev/ttyIAX
port            4569
refresh         300
server          127.0.0.1
peername        200
secret          dooo
cidname         200
cidnumber       200
codec           slinear

When trying fo fax, all I get is:
Extension '265399' in context 'default' from
'0123456789' does not
exist.  Rejecting call on channel 0/1, span 1


When changing the extensions.conf to:
[default]
exten => 265399,1,Dial(IAX2/200)

it is working perfectly.

Where are the mistakes?

Thanks,
Christian

The mistake is you have no "s" extension in [from-pstn]

You might try something like this:

exten => s,1,Wait(1) ;sometimes you need to wait to get callerid
exten => s,2,Answer()
exten => fax,1,Dial(IAX2/200)

You can't tell if it's a fax until it is answered.  Read up on the use 
of the 's' extension.
