Dear All,
We just bought TDM400P from Digium to bring our FAX solution to our customer.
According to WIKI pages, we installed Asterisk with SPANDSP patch for FAX support (RXFAX / TXFAX)
Here is our version
- Fax Machine : CANON FAX-L250
- OS: CentOS 4 (kernel 2.6.9-5.0.3EL)
- Downloaded Asterisk,Zaptel,LibPri from CVS per August 17, 2005
- Downloaded spandsp-0.0.2pre19 from www.soft-switch.org
- TDM400P with :
- 1 FXS on channel 1 (signaling with fxoks)
- 1 FXO on channel 4 (signaling with fxsks)
Here is the Zapata.conf
--------------------------- ZAPATA.CONF ------------------------
faxdetect=both
language=en
context=from-pstn
switchtype=national
signalling=fxo_ks
channel => 1
signalling=fxs_ks
channel => 4
------------------------- ZAPATA.CONF END ----------------------
Here is the extention.conf
-------------------------- EXTENTION.CONF ----------------------
[from-pstn]
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,AbsoluteTimeout(100)
exten => s,3,SetVar(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${UNIQUEID}.tif)

For RXFAX testing I did:
Fax Machine (CANON FAX-L250) —> PSTN —> TDM400P (FXO port) —> Asterisk
The result:
- Asterisk detected there is fax coming and jump to fax extension.
- Asterisk doesn’t create tiff file on specified directory (see RXFAX debug
log). - Look on RXFAX debug log, there is no “OK” word on 2D coding,
R8x15.4lines/mm. - Fax machine disconnected.
Question:
- Why Asterisk cannot receive the fax?
- Do I need to do specific configuration in zaptel.conf / zapata.conf ?
- We are in China, is there any country specific configuration?
- The last, If I have to debug myself, how to enable full debug on asterisk and spandsp?
Before, thank you for your support.

Halomoan
