Re: [hylafax-users] Receiving Remote TSI name string (vs. remotenumber)

["Ron Pettis" <rspettis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again, 

Thanks for the follow-up!  I know what you're saying and I thought the same thing.  (Also FYI, we're not using any caller ID.)
So, I was hoping there was a class 1 modem command that would query a "name TSI" instead of a "number TSI" (ok, obviously limited knowledge here on my end).

Our users' HP1240 fax machines have two fields to identify the fax machines in the "Basic Fax Header" setup. 

Field#1 asks: "Enter your name" and many ASCII values can be used (including upper/lowercase letters).
Field#2 asks: "Enter your number" and only 0123456789()WR*-+ are allowed.  (Why W and R are allowed is beyond me).
Note Field#2 is not allowed to be blank.

When faxing from these HP1240's to HylaFAX, the fax header is printed at the top of each incoming page normally, we see:

| Date/Time   |   Field#1 name |  Field#2 number  | faxpage # |

And in an associated email that we send, the subject line reads:  Facsimile received from <Field#2 number>. (We'd rather have name)
---------------------
Now, what really puzzles me....Sometimes we get junk faxes that even though the header has BOTH a name and number (as above), HylaFAX has extracted the TSI with the Field#1 name instead of Field#2 number.

Like:
Nov 27 09:59:14.70: [ 1927]: --> [7:CONNECT]
Nov 27 09:59:15.82: [ 1927]: --> [2:OK]
Nov 27 09:59:15.82: [ 1927]: REMOTE TSI "Mortgage Services"
Nov 27 09:59:15.82: [ 1927]: <-- [9:AT+FRH=3\r]
Nov 27 09:59:15.84: [ 1927]: --> [7:CONNECT]
Nov 27 09:59:16.12: [ 1927]: --> [2:OK]

.........Now, it'd actually be PERFECT if I could have BOTH the name and number.  But I'd settle for just the name, since it'd be great to manage the recvstats reports (to exec mgmt) with names instead of numbers, and also for the emailed subject lines.

I saw someone has modified their setup to crossreference this "automanually" and generously contributed it at:
http://www.hylafax.org/archive/2002-01/msg00173.php
(and associated thread)

In there, the author writes:

SENDER2=`cat log/c$COMMID | awk -F\" ''/FTSI/' {print $2}' | \
        sed -e 's/[ ]*//g' | \
        awk 'getline {print $0}'`

I'm wondering if these items are relevant to what I'm looking for, but my "$COMMID" logs don't contain any "FTSI" text. (I confess I don't know the full dynamics of the code, either).  But in plain english I can tell the author is piping each log into awk finding instances of FTSI and piping that result into sed.  If only I had FTSI?

Don't confuse TSI with Caller*ID.  They're not related.

TSI is a sending-machine identifier that is communicated via fax 
protocol during Phase B.  The sender can program almost anything 
there... or nothing at all.  The operator of the sending machine 
generally programs this in to the equipment.

If you want Caller*ID information in place of TSI in your FaxDispatch or 
in your received-fax notification message you certainly can do that - if 
you have Caller*ID support on the line, if your modem is set up to 
receive it, and if your modem config file is set up to interpret it.  
Then it will be a $CALLID numbered variable instead of $SENDER... and if 
you desire you can make SENDER="$CALLIDx"

Lee.
