Hi,

I would appreciate a guide on how I can fend faxes from my PC without connecting to the asterisk server directly to send.

Thanks

@Kenneth—

Normally we would do custom CDR for all calls… this way we can tie in rates, etc. in real time.

Hi, works great. Any idea how we can get a decent and complete CDR for an outbound fax using the callfile? The stored CDR is table cdr has always 0 seconds billtime.
Thaaanks..

You can do this with an originate command, but you might find it better to make a call file if you’re using cron.

Thanks for the guide. I’m a complete newbie to PBX software. I’ve successfully (I think) implemented the free 1 channel version of Fax for Asterisk on an install of AsteriskNOW. Is there a way to send a fax from the command line? For example, if I wanted to create a shell script (running as a cron job) that would automatically fax a file?

Thanks in advance!!!

Thank you Pat, Normally I see that when you're making a call from either a bad sip user or to an extension that's not in the dialplan. If you want to contact us, we can take a look at your configs and how you're dialing.

First, thanks for the guide!

I am having some issues getting things to work, however. I’ve got the Fax for Asterisk add-ons installed (“fax show stats” shows the expected output), and I copied the incoming section of your dialplan essentially wholesale (only changed the tif location to /tmp instead of /var/…..). The inbound calls are coming in via SIP, and the context for it has t38pt_udptl=yes.

When I try to fax, I get a couple lines on the Asterisk console that say “Using SIP RTP CoS mark 5″ and “Using UDPTL CoS mark 5″, but nothing else happens.

Is there anything obvious that I’m missing?

Ok… we’d love to help!

First, we need to know a little bit more info, such as: What OS are you running? What build of Asterisk?
