<br>
I am trying to use Freeswitch to primarily receive and rarely send
faxes. I have a user 1050 defined as in the pastebin ... http://pastebin.freeswitch.org/21361</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">
I have a PRI connection and I have configured Freeswitch to have
incoming and outgoing calls. Can someone on this list help me with
the following:<br>
</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">1) Is there a difference between the user configuration for the user
that receives calls and the one that receives a fax? I merely copied the user configuration that came with Freeswitch for user 1000.xml into 1050.xml. should it be differently configured for a number that is allotted to receive faxes ?</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">
2) The dialplan for receiving faxes is given below: Does this look
ok or am I missing something ?</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><extension name="fax_receive"><br> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^(050$)"><br> <action application="answer" /><br> <action application="playback" data="silence_stream://2000"/><br> <action application="rxfax" data="$${base_dir}/faxes/${caller_id_number}.tif"/><br> <action application="hangup"/><br> </condition><br></extension><br><br>
3) The number that I have configured to receive faxes is 4302050.
When I dial this number from a phone, the call is received in
Freeswitch. But when I try to send a fax online from any of the
internet online fax services or from a local fax machine, the call is never received in
Freeswitch. Any potential reason why this could be happening ?<br>
<br>
Any help is appreciated. Thanks for your time and support. <br>
<br>
Best, <br>
