[asterisk-users] ISDN-FAX with Asterisk

[William Stillwell (Lists)]

Im using

asterisk-1.6.2.13
asterisk-addons-1.6.2.2
dahdi-linux-complete-2.4.0+2.4.0
libpri-1.4.11.4
spandsp-0.0.6
Sangoma Hardware, using wanpipe-3.5.17

Extensions.conf:

[fax-in]

exten => s,1,Answer()
exten => s,n,Wait(1)
exten =>
s,n,Set(BASEFILE=fax-${CALLERID(dnid)}-${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)})
;exten => s,n,Set(${LOCALSTATIONID})
exten => s,n,MixMonitor(/mnt/ramdisk/${BASEFILE}.wav)
exten => s,n,ReceiveFAX(/mnt/ramdisk/${BASEFILE}.tif)
exten => s,n,Hangup()
exten => h,1,System(/home/asterisk/dofax.sh "${EMAILADDRESS}" "${FAXSTATUS}"
"${CALLERID(num)}" "${REMOTESTATIONID}" "${CALLERID(dn$


[inbound-pri]

; 
exten => 0000000000,1,Set(LOCALSTATIONID=${EXTEN})
exten => 0000000000,2,Set(EMAILADDRESS="emailaddress")
exten => 0000000000,3,Goto(fax-in,s,1)



the dofax.sh script checks if tif file exists, converts to pdf, emails, and
then archives on no errors,if missing tiff, or faxstatus <> success, it puts
the fax in a queue folder along with the mix monitor file for analysis. , of
the faxes the fail, you can usually here bad line quality from the sender.


/mnt/ramdisk is a 1gb ramdisk, the dofax script moves the tif/pdf/wavs to a
samba share, and deletes them out of the ramdisk folder.
