I have three fax license using diguim fax. Setup a Fax Extension in Elastix Nice guide. Should I gave up setting up virtual fax on Elastix? You’ll notice the need for this. No/Yes: Whether to enable the 'fax detect. Powered by a free Atlassian Confluence Open Source Project License granted to.

For a couple of days now, I have been trying to get fax detection working. I’ve been through a vast number of threads (on this site as well as around the Web) just trying to find some definitive information to help me get fax detection to work. But, I really have not found much of anything that has brought any sort of success to my current configuration.

According to a few of the threads I read through, fax detection is supposed to work “straight out of the box”. But it has not been so for myself.

Since NVFax is greyed out, the only real option left for us is to use dahdi, or so I figure since we do not have a sip trunk to use. Something I found was that faxdetect=incoming is to be included in chan_dahdi.conf (thought the hint indicates “Dahdi.conf”. The question is, what could I be missing?

I figure that there must be some solution. Personally, I blame my own noobness. Anyone have any thoughts or can someone direct me to the answer? It would be much appreciated. Regards, Stephen. Thanks for responding. We are running the FreePBX distro, yes. Download Batalha Espiritual Na Mente Pdf Software.

How it is that we don’t have a SIP trunk has largely to do with the fact that we are located in a more rural area where SIP is not really in use, not widely known about, or offered by local telcos. That leaves us relying on analog lines with our phone systems for our customers. Yes, it’s sad. We have been relying on another solution that is far from perfect which involves some external Sipura units. Of course, incoming faxes are more successful than outbound. I have scanned the forums thoroughly, and I think I’ve gotten the information out of them that I can. I have configured the Fax Configuration Module, and set the inbound route to detect fax.

But, it still does not work. I could really use a tested and workable solution for this if such a thing exists. I have come across two or three unanswered posts that seek a similar solution. I must say that this does not leave me with a great amount of confidence that there actually is a sleeker solution than what we’ve got. But, any ideas would be appreciated.

OK, apparently one must slog through the convoluted process of obtaining a license for “Free Fax for Asterisk” as described here: After enduring that craziness, AsteriskNOW actually received and emailed a fax. Wonder of wonders. If any developer types are paying attention, can I suggest a couple of things? First, the AsteriskNOW/FreePBX interface offers exactly zero indication that this licensing process is necessary.

Nothing useful in the logs or anywhere else I could find. Maybe I missed something in the documentation, but for crying out loudhow about a useful log message if inbound fax detection is enabled but there’s no licensed fax module available to handle faxes? Second, omigosh PLEASE come up with an easier method of licensing and installation. I’m a CLI gearhead, but nobody else around here is.

That’s the reason I snagged AsteriskNOW–because it incorporated this great UI that (mostly) eliminated any need to muck around on the command line. If it were just the free version of Fax for Asterisk that required the insanity, well OK, it’s free, whattaya want. But apparently even the “real” version requires the same insanity. If the “FreePBX” that’s installed by the AsteriskNOW distro isn’t “real” FreePBX, then what is it? As I understand it, FreePBX is a frontend to Asterisk, and both the FreePBX distro and AsteriskNOW install both Asterisk and FreePBX. I say “as I understand it,” because I have yet to stumble across a thread, either in these forums or Asterisk’s, that actually explains the differences.

They “just happen to use the same GUI” because FreePBX is the GUI. At least, that’s how I understand it. I’d love for you to shed some light on my ignorance. What I do know is that when I try to enable inbound faxing in the “FreePBX” frontend (cuz that’s what it says it is), it doesn’t work. Not only that, but it doesn’t give anything close to meaningful errors in the logfiles. Not only that, but neither the FreePBX forums nor the AsteriskNOW forums appear to have any meaningful “how to” on getting inbound faxing to work. I realize it’s free software, no support, yada yada, but to give a pat answer like “it works right out of the box” is almost comical.

No, it doesn’t work right out of the box. Hi all, I know this thread is a bit old but I have found on this forum and implemented some information regarding getting fax working inbound yet to test outbound as who has a fax machine these days anyway!!!
