<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I noticed that the wiki is not correct when it comes to fax_ident and fax_header:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_spandsp#By_mod_spandsp_fax.c">http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_spandsp#By_mod_spandsp_fax.c</a><br>
</div><div><br></div><div><div>- fax_ident - fax identity (numeric only) shown on remote machine during communication. Also may be printed on each page.</div><div>- fax_header - fax identity (alpha-numeric) show on remote machine during communication. Also may be printed on each page.</div>
</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Fax_ident is the Caller's Station ID (CSID) that can be alpha numeric as well. Fax_header would be used to add a header on top of each page on send.<br><div><img class="" src="https://contactmonkey.com/api/v1/tracker?cm_session=5b78d37f-54cb-44aa-a5d5-cbd8db08e00c&cm_type=open&cm_user_email=alipey@gmail.com"><div>
<br></div><div>I would be more than happy to fix the wiki page, but not sure what the protocol is. I did try to register to be able to edit the page but never got a password.</div></div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
<div>I found the proper explanation on the mailing list from <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Steve Underwood:</span></div><div><br></div><div><div>> fax_ident should be set to the telephone number to be used within the </div>
<div>> fax exchange. This will typically appear on an LCD display at the far </div><div>> end. In theory it should be limited to digits, spaces, + and one or two </div><div>> other characters appropriate to telephone numbers. In practice FAX </div>
<div>> machines are usually happy with any text, up to 20 characters. This </div><div>> string may also play a part in page headers.</div><div>> </div><div>> If fax_header is set to a non-null string, a header line will be </div>
<div>> inserted at the start of each page, just like a typical FAX machine </div><div>> does. The fax_ident, fax_header and the page number will be used to form </div><div>> the text of this line. If you are forwarding FAXes, you probably don't </div>
<div>> want to add a header line, as there will already be one that was </div><div>> inserted by the original source. If you are sending a locally generated </div><div>> FAX, you probably do want to add header lines to each page.</div>
