[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk mangling faxes

Ed Rubright ed at rubright.net

I think this is specific to WinFax.  I have my setup similar where I have
X100 -> TDM400P -> faxmodem(Intel 144) -> Win2000 Server running its
FaxService.

I have the faxmodem plugged into a el cheapo faxmachine(for sending only,
crappy for receiving) which is plugged into the TDM400P.  I have the el
cheapon faxmachine configured to never answer the incoming line instead the
faxmodem answers it and the Win2000 FaxService receives the fax and
automagically prints it on my Laser printer.

I can receive faxes just fine.  There is no mangling at all.

I can send faxes thru the el cheapo faxmachine...only problem is that it
occasionally says there was a "line error" after the fax is sent.  I'm not
sure what is causing this?

Thanks,
Ed

I'm having the same symptoms using X100P's, TDM400P's and WinFax, and have
and have had no luck correcting it. I don't have a standalone fax machine to
test with.

Does anyone know if this a problem whenever faxes are sent and received with
a modem, or is it specifically WinFax? Is there any other way to accomplish
the goal of computer faxing with Asterisk?

Jim

Michiel,

Are you using WinFax? or one of the Products Based on Winfax?  I've seen
this on all of our WinFax Stations, but none of our standalone Fax machines.

Hi list,

Faxes come in over an E1 line  (on an TE410P) here and then are sent to an
analog fax machine attached to a T1 (also on the TE410P) & channelbank
(CAC1).
Problem is that almost all faxes we send out and receive are mangled... 
either only halve pages or very stretched text etc.
Setup in extensions.conf is just:

exten => ${NN_FAX},1,Answer
exten => ${NN_FAX},2,Dial(Zap/49,80)
exten => ${NN_FAX},3,Hangup

echocancel is off for Zap/49 since the path is TDM only....

Any pointers to where to look??

Thanks, Michiel
