#The actual fax receiving does Asterisk with build in RxFax app (for 1.4)

Example extentions.conf entry:


;DatuX generic fax reception context:
[fax-reception]
exten = s,1,Set(FAX_RX=system)
exten = s,n,set(RandomNumber=${RAND()})
exten = s,n,set(CallTime=${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},GMT+1,%C%y%m%d%H%M)})
exten = s,n,set(CallHTime=${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},GMT+1,%c)})
exten = s,n,Set(EMAILADDR=fax@test.lan)
exten = s,n,Set(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${RandomNumber}-${CallTime}-${CALLERID(NUM)}.tif)
exten = s,n,Answer
exten = s,n,Rxfax(${FAXFILE}|ecm)
exten = s,n,hangup
;Important: Call system in the hangup-extension, because Rxfax sometimes returns -1 !
exten = h,1,System(FAXFILE=\"${FAXFILE}\" EMAILADDR=\"${EMAILADDR}\" FAXPAGES=\"${FAXPAGES}\" FAXBITRATE=\"${FAXBITRATE}\" FAXRESOLUTION=\"${FAXRESOLUTION}\" FAXSENDER=\"${CALLERID(num)}\" /var/lib/asterisk/scripts/fax2email >> /var/log/asterisk/fax2email.log)


;Somewhere in the dialplan, check the phone number and goto the fax-reception context:
