Please advise,
We Installed Asterisk 1.8.6.0 with FreePBX 2.9.0 on CentOS 5.6.
I’m having trouble getting efax (fax to PDF) to work on an extension.
My settings are as follows:
Asterisk SIP Settings:
T38 Pass-Through Yes
InBound route:
Detect Faxes: Yes
Fax Detection type: SIP
Fax Detection Time: 4
Fax Destination: Fax Recipient : “an extension number: 949xxxxxxx” (I x’d the number for privacy here)…
Extensions:
Fax Enabled: (check box)
Fax email: (email address)
I’m puzzled why FreePBX does’t seem to detect an incoming Fax Call (from a fax machine) and covert to PDF and email it. The call only rings the IP Phone extension…
Are we missing some of: spandsp libraries and nvfax?
We installed FreePBX and Asterisk using tar files downloaded from the web sites. Kind of new at this, but I tried the Asterisk command “core show applications” and it returned the following list. It listed “ReceiveFAX: Receive a Fax” and “SendFAX: Send a Fax”. Is that sufficient or are we still missing some components?
