  • It is really more interesting the receiving part. Can you paste here?

    is that what asterisk is showing during an incoming fax call. It looks like the faxdetection is not working but why?

  • I am not sure, but try to add a wait(2) as first command. When I want fax detection, I insert always a small delay for letting the fax detection routine to detect it.

  • i already added a Progess() and Wait(5) and it still does not detect faxes.

  • Please paste the actual code. First has to be the Wait and then any other thing.

  • Don’t expect T.30 over SIP to be reliable. If you need fax, you should be using T.38. Your codec is likely the issue.

  • Hello,

    Perhaps you need to have directmedia=no set for the channel, the call doesn’t appear to have been answered hence asterisk won’t be able to hear any tones to determine for itself if the call is an incoming fax.

    Larry.

  • There is a typo in the last line above. Should be “canreinvite”. AFAIK it’s obsoleted in favor of directmedia. BTW, try to set it to NO. BTW, what is the codec order? Fax detection doesn’t work reliably over compressed codecs (g729 etc…), in my case didn’t work at all… try to add:
    directmedia=no disallow=all allow=ulaw allow=alaw

    to your peer definition.

  • Hello,

    now i added

    directmedia=no disallow=all allow=ulaw allow=alaw

    and i changed the caninvite part to canreinvite. Now the faxdetection is working well. But now, after the faxsession has started, i’m getting

    res_rtp_asterisk.c:3548 ast_rtp_read: RTP Read too short

    as error.
