[asterisk-users] faxdetect on/off on the fly?

[Eric Wieling]

I believe Asterisk 11 is the first version which allows you to enable and disable faxdetect on the fly.

What criteria would determine if fax detection should be enabled?  From reading this message, what it sounds like is you want the call to go to the AGI, and if a CNG tone is detected, you want it to go to a specific fax extension.  That's what faxdetect does.  You enable it on all your lines, and if a CNG tone is detected, it sends it to the "fax" exten in the current context.  This would remove your routing AGI form the picture, so I don't think you want faxdetect enabled on your lines.  


Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but to me, it seems like you're trying to detect a CNG tone and base your routing decision on that inside your AGI.  Faxdetect will detect the CNG tone after the call is answered and automatically route for you.  It's not the kind of thing you want to set on a call by call basis.  If you're looking to detect a CNG tone inside your AGI, I'm not sure what mechanism is available for that.
