I am having a problem detecting incoming FAX. TMD22p (tdm400p 2 fxo, 2fxs) As I understand it, I must have faxdetect = incoming to enable detection of the fax tone. Then, I must have a [fax] context to pickup the line and send it to whatever extension the FAX device is on. In my case, I ask it to answer immediately and do a distinctive ring (r3) to alert that is its a FAX call so no one picks up the line. however, it seems the FAX tone is not being detected (I know it is being sent), as the normal ring tone is heard. I must be misunderstanding how this works. Or does not work. joe a.
This can be a partial never mind, I guess. I can see via the CLI that the call is being handled by some FAX related routines. Just not quite the solution I expected. joe a.>>> On 9/29/2007 at 8:56 AM, "Joe Acquisto" <joea at j4computers.com> wrote: > I am having a problem detecting incoming FAX.

Hence it only owrks after the line has been answered.> > however, it seems the FAX tone is not being detected (I know it is being > sent), as the normal ring tone is heard. > > I must be misunderstanding how this works. Or does not work.Can you please provide your relevant dialplan snippets and relevant parts of zapata.conf ? -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:guest at local.xorcom.com/tzafrir
