SOLVED Incredible Fax 2027 Receive & Send Failures

[wardmundy]

Issue #1: For those that deployed the Incredible PBX 2027 solution for faxing, be advised that there was an issue if your Inbound Route was configured to send calls to a Ring Group. Tutorial has been updated with the fix.

The fix is to add this context to the end of /etc/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf and reload dialplan: fwconsole reload

[ext-group](+)
exten => fax,1,Noop(Fax detected)
exten => fax,2,Goto(custom-fax-iaxmodem,s,1)

Issue #2: If you will be using a PJsip trunk to send outbound faxes, issue the following command to adjust the syntax in the sendfax.sh script. Tutorial also updated with this fix.

sed -i 's|SIP/$mytrunk/$faxnumber|PJSIP/$faxnumber@$mytrunk|' /root/sendfax.sh
