I've just made an interesting observation that I'd like to share with you all: the popular Sipura SPA-2100 just doesn't seem to be as great as I'd hoped. I've been trying to get inbound AND outbound faxing working via Asterisk and at least one of my termination services: Voicepulse or Sixtel. In general, inbound has been working flawlessly but outbound has been pretty

I'm really trying to understand this. I have a Sipura 2000, brother MFC, and SpanDSP set up on asterisk. because asterisk softfax was not working well, i set up faxes to goto line2 on the sipura. this is working fine, i have only tested a few short faxes, but already my completion rate was 100% vs 5-10% that spandsp and asterisk gave me. here's the odd part. using the fax machine, I

I'm about to purchase an adaptor for a POTS data modem and was looking at the Sipura line of adaptors (SPA-1000, SPA-1001, SPA-2000, SPA-3000). Do these work well? Anyone have a suggestion on which model of the Sipura I should get? Does one work better with * than the others? Are there other adaptors that work better that I should get? Thanks, -Dave -------------- next part

My setup is as follows: Handset -> Sipura SPA 2000 -> Asterisk -> VoicePulse and Handset -> Sipura SPA 2000 -> Asterisk -> Digium X100P -> POTS I notice when making VoicePulse calls (but *not* POTS calls through the X100P) that there is significant "popping" and "clicking" on the line. This isn't enough to interfere seriously with the call, and

I was having problems getting a Linksys PAP2T-NA to work with Pitney Bowes mailing station so it could use its modem to dial home and download postage/software updates. After scowering the web, I couldn't seem to find a definite how to article on what settings were needed. I finally came up some settings by combining the information from various places around the 'net. I have typed out

I'm proposing to install an Asterisk PBX at a collocation facility for a remote customer. Each of the customer locations will have an SPA-3000 with the FXO port connecting a POTS circuit and the FXS port connecting a fax machine or red phone. In addition to voice traffic, the customer has a high volume of incoming and outgoing faxes. Would it be possible, using g711 between the SPA-3000

I've been trying to get fax reception to work using an SPA-2000 to ring the fax machine or modem that's taking fax calls. I was curious if anyone else had tried something similar, and if so, had any luck getting it to work reliably. I've been able to get it to work, but it isn't reliable. (Pages/lines of black dots result more frequently than not.) The incoming lines are FXO

All- I'm attempting to set up a Sipura SPA-3000 in Sao Paolo, Brazil. Not being a portuguese speaker, I'm having a rough time of finding the relevant information on how to make the thing pick up the PSTN line and make an outbound call. The sipura in question works fine on a bench connected to a POTS line in the US, but is now plugged in in Sao Paolo. The immediate thing I notice is that

Hi, I'm putting together a fax solution for my company that utilizes T.38. I wanted to throw out my plan and get some feedback if anyone is doing something similar or sees a blatant problem with it. We're currently rolling out SPA-942 phones for the standard desk phone with vanilla Asterisk 1.4.15 (just upgraded it today) on the back end. Most calls for satellite offices are handled by

I know the subject of faxing has been covered in some detail, but I was wondering if anyone has a hardware configuration similar to ours that has faxes working successfully and would be willing to share any settings/insight. We are unable to fax reliably with a Sipura 2100 connected to Asterisk. We do not route calls over the Internet and our network has very low latency. The Asterisk

I'm using Asterisk 1.09 with bristuff 0.2.0-RC8n, one BRI line and a Sipura SPA-2000. I have a HP LaserJet 3330mfp all-in-one. I can receive faxes but not send them. The faxes start whistling to each other but the transmission is stopped with a "communication error" To receive a fax I have this in my dialplan: exten => 0000000000,1,Ringing exten => 0000000000,2,zapEC(off)

I've been running with a generic X100P for 5 or so months and every once in a while I have problem receiving faxes. I see that others have the same problems and some worse than I have with these boards so I was wondering if using a Sipura SPA-3000 would be any more reliable. Has anyone had enough experience to tell me if that would definitely fix the random fax error. PS. I have * at

Hi All, Last week I started hearing a huge amount of local end echo on incomming calls. I am using a Sipura SPA-3000 as my FXO connected to an SBC POTS line. Echo cancellation is enabled in the SPA firmware. As a test I switched to a Digium X100 card the still lives in my server but the echo was about the same. I have both Polycom IP600 and SNOM 200 phone, which both hear the echo. I'm

Hi list, Hopefully, some of our Dutch members can help with this one. I'm also based in the Netherlands and am using a Sipura (Linksys) SPA-3000 (firmware v3.1.10(GWd)) as a PSTN to VoIP gateway for my Asterisk test system. It works fine, except that the Called ID (CID) is not working. I'm aware that KPN (our local telco) requires a separate subscription to activate CID on POTS

Greetings! I was wondering if it is possible (using something like a group of Sipura SPA-841 IP phones) to have * announce information about the calling party via the SPA-841's speaker to a selected set of extensions that aren't set to "Do Not Disturb"... i.e., have * say the number, or perhaps have Festival speak the name, etc. If so, any hints and tips on how you'd go

Hello all. I have the following setup: Fax machine | Sipura SPA-3120 | SIP 100BaseT | Asterisk 1.4 | IAX2 100BaseT | Asterisk 1.6 | ISDN PRI TE210P | Traditional Telco The fax lands on the Internal Asterisk 1.4 box, the sip config for this extension looks like: [35081] type=friend secret=************ qualify=yes port=5060 nat=no host=dynamic dtmfmode=rfc2833

I wrote a week or two ago about a problem I was having with a TDM400P with 2 FXS. The problem was reliable fax transfers. There were often slow or had communication failures during transmission. Richard replied to my post and told me this is an ongoing problem that might have a solution in the weeks to come. However, I was wondering if anyone had any alternate solutions for faxing with an

2 Asterisk servers 1.2.12.1 Connected via IAX2, same switch, GigE, no packet loss, etc 1 with a Sangoma A101 for a PRI to the PSTN Ulaw QoS enabled NAT for the registered ATA boxes, no nat between the * servers Faxing inbound: Call from PRI hits the first Asterisk server Then talks to the 2nd via IAX2 NVFaxDetect receives the fax, converts to PDF and emails it out Works great!

On the /proc/zaptel it was lost interrupts, you haven't got any so that's good! On opencall.org there's a known issues link and that mentions some fax machines that have issues, might be worth a quick check there. I can receive from our fax machine this end, if you'd like I'll send you a test fax if you send me your fax number, if you can receive from us and tpc then it's

What are your experiences with faxing through Asterisk to the PSTN? We are using g.711u as a codec, and are originating/terminating with Broadvox as well as through our own PSTN gateways. We have had some luck with incoming faxes coming into our network from Broadvox DIDs. They work 50% of the time. Not sure yet on PSTN incoming since nobody that is using FAX is in our local rate centers.
