[asterisk-users] Asterisk Fax Receive - how to get the remoteheader?

[Larry Moore]

The list of options available are listed here 
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+11+Function_FAXOPT

It doesn't appear that a received header is available unless it is 
written into the 'headerinfo' variable after it is received, I haven't 
checked for this.

 From my days working with fax machines, the header could be inserted in 
the line the TSI is on or in the image being transmitted, if you receive 
a fax that has been sent to you with the latter set, then the 
'headerinfo' will not be of any use. Perhaps someone with more knowledge 
may be able to explain this better.

A quick Google search for 'fax header outside of tsi' will provide a 
list of manuals, here's one -

Expand the line for


        To specify the position of Header Position printed on a sent fax
        ([Header Position])
