Re: [hylafax-users] DID?

[Andres Paglayan <it@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

This doesn't directly address you question but it might help

I 've been posting ridiculous questions at the list,
but finally came with two different scenarios,
that work so far,

there's two ways to make DID, (direct inward dialing) work,
did is what the caller dials to call you,

1./ use a DID capable fax modem, ($500)
pros: easier to set-up
cons: looks like it takes all the wire for itself (must be fax  
dedicated)

2./ use a pbx to convert DID into CallerID, and use a callerID  
capable fax/modem
in this case,
the PBX will handle routes according to DIDs without extra hardware
you set up a virtual extension for each incoming fax number,
and route them to the fax receiver fax/modem,
at the fax server side, you use the callerID of the virtual extension
to route the fax
e.g
DID (555-5512) -> PBX (virtual ext 512)  ->  FAX (route caller ID 512  
to 512ower@xxxxxxxxxxx)

you can pick your architecture depending on the hardware you have,
e.g. analog channel to modem/fax or virtual extension to iax modem

I am running #2, faxing is "satellite" to the main PBX
I get no errors on a sangoma dual t1 and a rhino channel bank,
