Hi! Either the fax machine or the asterisk box has to pick up the call to know whether it is a fax or not.
My solution is that I let asterisk pick up every call, and if it is a fax, then the call is forwarded to a fax-machine. If its a voice call, the call is forwarded to the phones. [incoming] exten => s,1,Answer() ;automatic answer for fax recognition exten => s,2,Wait(3) ;prevents ringing when it is a fax exten => s,3,Dial(Sip/21&Sip/22&Sip/25&Sip/26,45,t) ;ring phones exten => s,4,Hangup ;hangup after 45 secondes ;is it a fax? then take it here! exten => fax,1,Dial(Zap/1) But this solution implies that asterisk picks up every call immediately. So the caller has to pay for the call before he can talk to you. tom aslay-pinwee wrote: > Hi, > > I need to share my PSTN line with my Digium card together with my FAX > machine. > If fax coming in, will asterisk pick up the call or my fax machine pick > up the call. > > How do I make asterisk not to answer the incoming fax and let my fax > machine receive > the fax.
