[asterisk-users] Help in getting a dialplan to produce the right CDR info

[Robert Moskowitz]

I have been shaking down a dialplan for SIP fax to efax.

The basic senario is an ATA on the same subnet as the Asterisk 1.2 box 
(avoid RTP packet lose and thus fax crash), calling a 'fax extension' 
and envoking rxfax then email.

I leverage off of context: from-internal-additional-custom, so as not to 
have it overwritten by FreePBX.

In extension_custom.conf I have:

[from-internal-additional-custom]

include => ext-local-fax-custom

#include extensions_fax.conf

[custom-fax1]
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,n,StopPlayTones
exten => s,n,Set(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${UNIQUEID}.tif)
exten => s,n,rxfax(${FAXFILE})
exten => s,n,Hangup
exten => h,1,system(/var/lib/asterisk/bin/fax-process.pl --to 
${FAX_TO_EMAIL} --from ${FAX_RX_FROM} --subject "Fax from 
${URIENCODE(${CALLERID(number)})} ${URIENCODE(${CALLERID(name)})}" 
--attachment fax_${URIENCODE(${CALLERID(number)})}.pdf --type 
application/pdf --file ${FAXFILE});
exten => h,2,Hangup()


And extensions_fax.conf has:

exten => 29809,1,Set(__FAX_TO_EMAIL=rgm at htt-consult.com)
exten => 29809,n,Macro(just-user-callerid,)
exten => 29809,n,Goto(custom-fax1,s,1)

[macro-just-user-callerid]
exten => s,1,Set(AMPUSER=${DB(DEVICE/${CALLERID(number)}/user)})
exten => s,n,Set(AMPUSERCIDNAME=${DB(AMPUSER/${AMPUSER}/cidname)})
exten => s,n,Set(CALLERID(all)=${AMPUSERCIDNAME} <${AMPUSER}>)

=========================================================

I had to add the just-user-callerid macro to pick up the callerid name.

But the goto custom-fax1 results in the destination extension for the 
CDR record to be 's'.

If I make custom-fax1 a macro instead, I get the proper value for the 
CDR record, but the Hangup logic does not work.

I suspect that before executing rxfax, I could SET a variable with the 
destination extension, and then in the Hangup logic push it back in, but 
I need some help.

Or a better way.

And yes, I know that Asterisk 1.4 supports T.38, and I have every 
intension to get things set with 1.4....


Thank you.
