exten => _X.,n,Set(FAXOPT(gateway)=yes)
exten => _X.,n,Dial(SIP/mypeer,20)
exten => _X.,n,Verbose(Failed to dial ‘SIP/mypeer’: ${DIALSTATUS})
exten => _X.,n,Set(FAXOPT(gateway)=no)

SendFax is using for Sending, ReceiveFax is to receive. When call is incoming just invoke ReceivingFax , Use SendFax to sending. not a dial. there is a lot of example, tuts on internet.

Hi Ycaner,

Then what does it mean

exten => fax

should we put as fax or _X. ?

4

hello;

To receive;

There is 2 way to receive;

1- answer call and let asterisk dedected it is fax ; if it dedected it is fax , it goes to fax extensions. so add fax extension…
2- it is always gets fax so just add receiveFax on your dialplan

I tried exten => fax - Not working
then
I tried exten => _X.,1,ReceiveFax(myreceivedfile.tiff,d) - working and FAX said successful not .tiff file found on server

And how to debug this as every time I need to send fax for testing is there any other to check without sending the fax manually

6

use dfsz parameters for receivefax. and look at /var/spool/asterisk/fax if it isnt exists , make it .

RECEIVEFAX(/var/spool/asterisk/fax/heeeee.tff,dfsz)

Here is a samples.
