I'm using IAXmodem and Hylafax with 'faxdetect=incoming' and things
mostly
work pretty well. My main lines come in via T1 DID. Today, HR got tired of
having someone read and forward their faxes to them and requested we bring
their physical machine back on line. I have been able to get the fax
forwarded to the appropriate zap channel, but I cannot seem to get it to
stop 'faxdetect'ing. After deciding that it is a fax and sending it to
the
proper zap channel Asterisk says:
-- Executing Dial("Zap/5-1", "Zap/105") in new stack
-- Called 105
-- Zap/105-1 is ringing
-- Redirecting Zap/5-1 to fax extension
-- Hungup 'Zap/105-1'
...and Hylafax gets it...
Now the questions:
1) How can I have 'faxdetect=incoming' for my T1 context and
'faxdetect=no'
for my internal zap channels. (I'm assuming that this is what's wrong
here...)
2) Is it instead possible to disable faxdetect for the duration of the
call? E.g. exten => fax,1,zapFAXDETECT(off)
3) Is there a better way to mix detected faxes and dedicated fax lines?
4) Can anyone share with me a config that accomplishes this feat (both
detected and dedicated)?

[Asterisk-Users] Re: faxdetect questions - Please HELP!
Seems to me that the problem here is one of automatic distribution. Why not create a virtual faxmodem for each user, or group of users, and assign a DID to each of them, then have HylaFAX email the PDF direct to the user via custom settings in FaxDispatch? THe user can then print it, or file it or whatever. This works *famously* in my org, and my users love to brag about how they have "their own" fax line.

In reading this problem and the solution I wonder if it would be better, (or acceptable to the users?) to send the received Hylafax fax to a (network attached) printer of their choice. That way you eliminate the need for special equipment (the fax machine) ? I did a bit of research and found : http://www.hylafax.org/content/Handbook:Server_Operation:Tweaking_and_Custom ization That has a section on "Automatic Fax Printing" that actually address this sort or thing.

Okay, if that's easiest for you. Most people would have run enough iaxmodems to handle the load and then use the DID for routing the faxes, rather than the device. Lee.

[Asterisk-Users] Re: faxdetect questions - Please HELP!
aha. I have it the other way around:
Dial(IAX2/iaxmodem/${CALLERIDNUM})
anyway, it works perfecly fine so I think I'll leave it, the administrative
overhead (other than setting it up in the first place) is low, and the
system is very reliable.

The iaxmodem README and sample configuration files should contain what
you need.
A call comes in and you send it to iaxmodem:
Dial(IAX2/iaxmodem/${DID})
The iaxmodem then sends the DID to HylaFAX as an "NDID" response to
AT+VCID=1 or AT+VRID=1 (see the HylaFAX modem configuration file).
Then HylaFAX passes that through as a $CALLID variable to your
FaxDispatch script. And there you use it to determine your $SENDTO setting.
