similar to: Debug info from txfax - howto?

Hi, I noticed a strange behaviour: Faxing using spandsp (TxFax) from my asterisk box to my old, common fax machine at home works fine. Faxing from the same box to my office pc-fax (Hylafax) also worke fine. Receveiving faxes on my asterisk box using spandsp (RxFax) also works fine. It is a PSTN number connected to the digium card of that asterisk box. Then I faxed from my asterisk box (TxFax)

Hi everyone ! I have some aditional info on problem with TXFax and sending multi-page TIFFs. I have made 6 different multi-page TIFFs (Group3 1D with fillbits EOL aligned - 3 pages one TIFF in lowres and one in hires, Group3 2D -3 pages againg in both resolutions , and Group 4 - 3pages in both resolutions), and then tried to send them to Panasonic KX-F1100, Panasonic KX-F500 and SpanDSP

Thanks for the information Lee ! Still, something is still strange to me, since this two Panasonic Fax machines are receiving at least 20 multi-paged faxes a day (they are in same office as both Asterisk boxes, and me :) ). Beside that, POTS lines in those two faxes are from same PSTN switch as line in X100P in one of Asterisk boxes, and the ISDN PRI lines in other Asterisk box is from same PSTN

Hi, I tried to use txfax to send several faxes at the same time. It seams, that one can't send more than 3 faxes at once, or one risks to get 50% and more aborted faxes due to errors. The CPU usage is below 97%. I tried with Opteron and IntelP4: same result. Ok, I know, that faxing via a digital line is complicate, and I shouldn't complain, but I would like to know, whether these are

Hi, there are some messages indicating, that TxFax is able to return -1 on failure. Well, I tried a lot but didn't succeed. I even sent a fax to a phone set, picked up the hand set and waited until timeout of TxFax. There is no difference to success. The only thing I could determine, is, when the other party hangs up. Any other case called the next priority in the dialplan. Is there any

Hi, I have asterisk 1.0.7 and spandsp-0.0.2_pre18. txfax return a non-zero return code only if the fax file is not found. Unfortunately I can't get any information, whether the fax was transmitted completely or not. Will an update to a newer version change this? Thanks for telling me your experience! Roger.

Hi, I've been struggling with this for a quite long time. Maybe I am not the first asterisk user with this problem, (I try to search on google, but I didn't find anything good). My point is: I try to set up * to work as a fax server. Each incoming fax (from PSTN) should be received on email. Luckily it works. I didn't notice any problem with receiving faxes on email, so rxfax works

Hello, I have installed SpanDSP and the apps txfax an rxfax. Unfortunately I am having problems sending faxes. I only get cancelled transfers. I am trying to send a fax to a ISDN card connected to a zap channel. I am using following call file: ------------------------------- Channel: ZAP/g1/25 MaxRetries: 0 WaitTime: 20 Application: txfax Data: /tmp/lVD3wy.tiff|caller Asterisk shows:

Hi there, I'm Using TxFAX to send faxes via Zaptel PRI. I have 2 PSTN PRI Providers, with the first provider, all faxes are trasmited fine. With the second provider, faxes can't be sent, we suspect about the setting of this PRI provider, perhaps is doing some compression somewhere. Any suggestion welcome. I've tried these txfax calls with these results: txfax(${FAXFILE}): Fax

Hi all, I'm using txfax and rxfax to send and receive faxes. I find that txfax performs very well when sending to an old fax machine. However, when trying to send to a Mac (OS X) that accepts faxes, I get a "Trainability test failed" message on the * console (full console log below). I'm OK with being unable to fax to Mac, as I'm just using it to test. For future

Hi, I've compiled rxfax and txfax on my Asterisk box. I've made a small extensions.conf for test so that when I call a number with my Idefisk softphone I activate txfax command. My goal is to try to send a fax using an analog line first and then an ISDN line but I do not know how to specify the channel inside txfax command. Sorry if it may sound a stoopid question but found no docs on

I've been using spandsp and rxfax to receive faxes for a while now and over the past few days I've looked into the other side of things - txfax. I can't seem to get it working properly. I've included debug logs below of both the tx and rx side of things. I've tried three different servers, asterisk v1.0.6, 1.0.9 and CVS, FC2 and FC4, libtiff 3.5.7 and 3.7.1, TE405P and

the attached log with verbose=6 and debug=6 refers. we've got a sangoma A104 (no hwec) with PRI ports 1 & 3 loopbacked to each other. we're trying to have txfax send out on one of those pri ports with rxfax listening on the other side, hence having asterisk send a fax to itself. we however have bad, and i mean really bad (<10%) success rates. we're currently using asterisk

Hi, We have no problems sending to HP and Panasonic fax machines in the office. We do have problems when we try to send faxes to services supporting fax, i.e. J2 or our UC platform. The receiving side doesn't recognize fax. To send a fax we drop into /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing: Channel: Zap/g1/<fax number> MaxRetries: 0 WaitTime: 20 Context: webley_txfax Extension: txfax_ext

I'm want to send a fax, but its failing with "Unicall/XX event Far end disconnected" , right after the "Answer" command. Any tips?

Hi Gang, I'm trying to make an application to upload a tiff via a web interface, slap a cover page onto it, merge the two into a new tiff and send it out via txfax. I'm able to get it out to a fax machine using this sequence: /usr/bin/tiff2pdf /tmp/faxout/1229978819_filea.tif -o /tmp/faxout/1229978819_filea.pdf /usr/bin/gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite

Hi, how can I disable event_log in order to reduce hard disk activity? I can't find any hints in conf files. Must I hack the source code or even use brutal methods like creating a dir called event_log in the log dir, in order to prevent asterisk from creating an event_log file? (Just chmod a-w event_log does not work, unfortunately.) Thanks for any hints! Roger.

I'm losing call files in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing because * isn't able to detect the busy signal. The call file looks like this: Channel: Zap/g2/3036701917 MaxRetries: 1000 RetryTime: 60 WaitTime: 45 Application: TxFAX Data: <filename>.tiff|caller Using the "|caller" parameter, TxFax injects the fax tone (CNG) onto the line. With the CNG tone, asterisk is unable

I'm having an intermittent problem with fax transmissions, something I call the streaking mascara syndrome. TxFax will be part way through a transmission when something fails--on the fax printer, part of the page will have correctly printed, but the rest of the page is "streaked" to the bottom. I have several successful multi-page transmissions interspersed with streaked
