Hello to everybody!
I recently installed Hylafax to work with FreeSWITCH and it looks a mighty
fine piece of software :)
I have a couple of questions which may best be answered by the experienced
users.
1. The received fax .tif files in recvq directory are named as
fax000000001.tif, fax000000002.tif, fax000000003.tif etc. I am receiving
the fax by bridging the incoming call in FreeSWITCH to the soft modem which
HylaFax is using. Ideally, I would like to pass a filename (like the uuid
of the incoming call) which will become the filename of the received .tif
file.
Is that possible ?
2. For incoming fax, how can I get the status ? Like is it successful,
failed, etc ?
3. Is it possible to execute a script each time after receiving a Fax ? For
eg., I would like to run a script to email the received .tif file.
regards,
Anita

I've seen some of your posts on the freeswitch list. Are you using the new fax functionailty of freeswitch which provides device nodes for Hylafax to work with (appears as standard serial ttys), or some other method of allowing them to interact (t38modem?)? Somewhat off topic, but I'm curious. :)
Responding in numbered fashion:
1. Changes to filename can be done after fax reception, within $SPOOL/bin/faxrcvd or $SPOOL/etc/FaxDispatch which are run after each fax job. More specifically, faxrcvd is run, and calls FaxDispatch from within.
2. Outbound fax jobs fire off some things when they fail to let you know of the status ($SPOOL/bin/notify). Inbound jobs do not however. You simply need to check the session logs for inbound calls to see if they were "successful" or not. Of course I add quotes around successful meaning, the logs may indicate successful signalling/protocol, but if the audio path is not clear(VoIP, or poor T.38 implementation), and ECM is not used, the actual resulting image may look very poor.
3. Yes, see above item #1.

Hi
Thanks Aidan and Tim. I am reading the docs up and configuring!
Tim, I am using the soft modem emulation via mod_spandsp documented here

Hi
I have tried various possible configurations for the CallIDPattern in
etc/config.FS but none of them are working. Perhaps, I would need an
example of how to configure CallIDPattern such that the caller id is passed
from FreeSWITCH to Hylafax.
It would be great to hear from someone who has done this on FreeSWITCH and
mod_spandsp.
In case of
CallIDPattern: SHIELDED_DTMF
CallIDAnswerLength: 4
or
CallIDPattern: "NDID="
CallIDPattern: "NMBR="
CallIDPattern: "NAME="
I am not getting any CallID in the logs.
When I configure as
ModemRingResponse: "AT#CLS=8\nAT#VLS=4\nATA"
CallIDPattern: SHIELDED_DTMF
CallIDAnswerLength: 4
ModemAnswerCmd: "<delay:100>AT+FCLASS=1\nATA"
I get the following error in the log

Use minicom on the tty (instead of faxgetty). And then do the following:

ATZ
AT+VCID=1
ATI
ATI3
And then send a call to that modem. Let's see what the CallerID display
says.
Thanks,

So in your HylaFAX modem config file put the following:

RingsBeforeAnswer: 2 (you probably already have this configured, but check)
ModemResetCmds: AT+VCID=1
CallIDPattern: "NMBR="
CallIDPattern: "NDID="
Restart faxgetty.
Then in your faxrcvd and FaxDispatch $CALLID1 will refer to the
CallerID, and $CALLID2 will refer to the DID.
