Re: [hylafax-users] Fax calls answered as data connection



Mitesh,

The +FDM response from your modem indicates the your *modem* thinks that it's a data call, and faxgetty is simply doing what the modem says.

So it's just a matter of turning off adaptive answer on the modem. Maybe set "ModemAnswerCmd: AT+FCLASS=1;A".

Hello Lee and all,

Thank you for your reply.

I only turned on adaptive answer to fix the problem. It was switched off
by default and it is switched off as well

Is there anyways I can find out why does the faxgetty consider it as a
data connection even though it's just a normal fax call? I am looking for
debug facilities to first understand why it happens so that I can fix it.

This is a standard installation so probably it's happened to someboy else
as well.

Hope somebody has faced this situation.

Regards,

Mitesh

Are you using adaptive answer intentionally?  If not, then just disable
adaptive answer, which is probably due to the AdaptiveAnswer and
possibly an AT+FAA=1 command in your modem config.

Dear All,

I have a situation where some fax calls are answered as data connection.
I
have managed to identify specifically that when a manual fax dials in and
the sender waits for the fax tone before starting to send a fax,
hylafax/faxgetty considers it as a data call. Session trace shows:

Modem: US Robotics Sportster 33.6

I have tried to fix it by adding following in config.ttyS0 either of the
one:
1. AdaptiveAnswer=Yes, AnswerRotary=fax
2. ModemAnswerFaxCmd=ATA

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

Murli
