I want to setup an incoming DID as a 100% dedicated fax - that always gives a fax tone to the caller.
I have read the previous Fax message thread on the board. Perhaps, I did not quite get the caveats and have not been able to get it to work. I am new to Asterisk - so maybe my understanding is flawed.
Here is what I tried:
Step 1) Add new SIP Extension 91
- all values default values
Step 2) Add new Incoming routing
trunk : <mylogin>-91
fax extn: system
fax email: myemail
fax switch: yes
set destination : extn 91
all other values are default values
Step 3) Point my DID ring-to-destination to <mylogin>-91@pbxes.com
Step 4) Call my DID and expect fax tone.
But it does not work.
PBXes Call monitor shows that PBXes gets the call, and considers 91 as ext-local and drops the call.
It is too vague, cryptic and open ended. I wish there is better alternative to this trial-and-error-hopefully-works approach. Are there any step-by-step instructions for normal configuration usage of Pbxes?
