Re: [hylafax-users] Asterisk/IAXmodem/HylaFax configuration error on FXO channels?

[Tim Nelson <tnelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You nailed it right on the head Lee. It was late and it didn't even cross my mind to check that. As soon as I made the changes using your second suggestion specifying a 'DID', everything started working properly. Thank you again for your help!!!

On an FXO port you don't typically get DID.  So when getting a call on 
an FXO port Asterisk sends the call to the "s" extension (which stands 
for "spawned", I guess).  Thus, when in the [from-fax-iax27] context you 
try matching against "_X." it doesn't work at all because X matches 
digits only, and "_X." doesn't mean "anything" - it means "any 
number/sequence of digits".  Rather, your [from-fax-iax27] context 
should probably read like this:

[from-fax-iax27]
exten => s,1,Dial(IAX2/iaxdevfxo1)
exten => s,2,Answer
exten => s,3,Busy
exten => s,4,Hangup

Notice that in this case we do *not* pass-on ${EXTEN} to iaxmodem.  What 
good would "s" do for you there?

If, for some reason, you expect to get both "s" and digits in the same 
context, and you want to handle them the same, then something like this 
may work:

[from-fax-iax27]
exten => s,1,Goto(1111111111,1)
exten => _X.,1,Dial(IAX2/iaxdevfxo1/${EXTEN})
exten => _X.,2,Answer
exten => _X.,3,Busy
exten => _X.,4,Hangup

Here "1111111111" indicates a pseudo-DID that in HylaFAX (FaxDispatch) 
you would recognize as a call coming in on the FXO.

Thanks,

Lee.
