i am running the latest version of FreePBX 2.10.x on Asterisk 1.8.20-1.
i have successfully setup Digium’s FFA (Free Fax for Asterisk) and I am able to see fax information on the command line in asterisk by issuing:
fax show stats
i am now proceeding to the FreePBX interface to implement an inbound route for incoming faxes. when i goto “connectivity” then “inbound routes”, i can see “fax detection” and if i turn that on i have a choice of DAHDI or SIP. in either case, i cannot select any destination that could deal with a fax except an extension.
when i goto “applications” -> “extensions” and look at each extension type, there is no mention of the word “fax” and the only mail addresses are associated with dictation and voice mail.
i have the schmooze fax configuration module installed, however, i just don’t seem to have the same interface options as others who have posted to this list.
i guess that i have not been clear enough – so let me restate:
in any “extension type” [sip/iax/dahdi/custom/virtual] the word fax does not appear anywhere on the page/extension, nor in any drop down on any extension or page.
i’m now thinking that the module install process is busted on a manual install of freepbx given the absence of the word fax. the ONLY “fax” options are:
sorry to bother, but i’m simply not getting this and i am getting screamed at
so – i downloaded freepbx distro and installed to see if i have the same user interface. it looks as though i do have the same.
neither in freepbx distro, nor in my own manual install, do i see the word “fax” anywhere in on the web page for editing an extension of any type (and in particular, Custom and Virtual).
which mail address field should be filled out? is their a “FAX” dial technology?
Yes, that’s exactly where it is. I also just checked a system that was just installed on beta 2.11, no configuration done, I was going to play with the latest beta this weekend. It also has the FAX settings. They are in all extension types because you can do FAX detection on any channel technology as it is done at the RTP level.
