Some additional information which may help you with your
installation.<br>
<br>
I have 4 IAX Modems named iaxmodem0 - iaxmodem3. I use iaxmodem3 for
outbound fax transmissions.<br>
<br>
I created a queue for the other 3 modems, here is my entry in
queues.conf:<br>
<blockquote>[hylafax-iax]<br>
strategy=linear<br>
ringinuse=yes<br>
autopause=no<br>
retry=4<br>
timeout=5<br>
timeoutpriority=conf<br>
reportholdtime=no<br>
joinempty=strict<br>
leavewhenempty=strict<br>
musicclass=silence<br>
<br>
member => IAX2/iaxmodem2<br>
member => IAX2/iaxmodem1<br>
member => IAX2/iaxmodem0<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
In case you are wondering about the 'musicclass' I have used, here
is the section from musiconhold.conf, the actual location of the
files may be elsewhere on your system:<br>
<blockquote>[silence]<br>
mode=files<br>
directory=/usr/local/share/asterisk/silence<br>
; ls /usr/local/share/asterisk/silence<br>
; 10.gsm<br>
;<br>
; The file 10.gsm came from
/usr/local/share/asterisk/sounds/en/silence<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
I changed 'callbackextension' in my sip.conf for the trunk so that
it would go directly to the 'fax' extension in the dialplan i.e.
'callbackextension=fax'.<br>
<br>
I've included the console output when an incoming fax is received:<br>

I'm sure you've already checked and confirmed you have 'alaw' and
'ulaw' codecs permitted in your IAX Modems, iax.conf and sip.conf
configurations<br>
<br>
To test your configuration you could set it up your environment so
that you send an outgoing fax to yourself i.e. your dial your number
at the VoIP provider, this assumes when you dial your VoIP number a
connection is made back to you, you can then troubleshoot the
communication.<br>
<br>
This is how I performed the majority of my tests.<br>
<br>
Not sure why you haven't explored the option of terminating a fax
call in Asterisk, you will need some scripts to convert the received
image to a PDF which is then e-mailed. An offer was made to you to
provide scripts, if you set this up when your iaxmodem's aren't
working a fallback will be for Asterisk to accept the call as it
falls through, one thing you should know, if you use the T.38
Gateway in your dialplan you will need to disabled it prior to
Asterisk terminating the call. I use extensions.ael so here is an
example, I've included the macro I use to receive a fax in Asterisk:<br>
<blockquote>context from-itsp {<br>
<br>
s => {<br>
NoOp(Call Received ${STRFTIME(,,%F %T %z)});<br>
Set(CHANNEL(language)=en_AU);<br>

NoOp(Call Received from ${CALLERID(name)}, Tel:
${CALLERID(num)});<br>
.<br>
. other conditions checked and extensions dialled<br>
.<br>
};<br>
<br>
fax => {<br>
NoOp(Fax Detected ${STRFTIME(,,%F %T %z)});<br>
Set(FAXOPT(gateway)=yes);<br>
Queue(hylafax-iax,dRt,,,15);<br>
<br>
Set(FAXOPT(gateway)=no);<br>
&fax-receive(<TSID>,<Header>,FaxMaster,lmoore);<br>
Hangup();<br>
};<br>
<br>
h => {<br>
if ( "X${FAXRXFILE}" != "X" )<br>
{<br>
&email_rxfax();<br>
}<br>
NoOp(Call/Fax Ended ${STRFTIME(,,%F %T %z)});<br>
};<br>
};<br>
<br>
macro fax-receive( fax-number, header-info, sender, recipient ) {<br>
/*<br>
${ARG1} is Receiving Station Fax Number<br>

${ARG3} is Fax Sender E-mail Address<br>

NoOp(**** FAX RECEIVE ****);<br>

Is your network/firewall configuration permitting the ports for
UDPTL, runn the command: udptl show config<br>

In your sip configuration for your 'mytrunk' peer have you set
applicable options e.g.:<br>
<blockquote>t38pt_udptl=yes,redundancy,maxdatagram=400<br>
</blockquote>
In your extensions.conf you could and probably should set the
following option prior to dialing the IAX channel, this is to
enable the T.38 gateway feature of Asterisk 11:<br>
<blockquote>Set(FAXOPT(gateway)=yes)<br>
</blockquote>
I have it working in my installation however I have incoming voice
calls too hence I use 'faxdetect' to direct the call to the 'fax'
extension.<br>
<br>
