Topic: IAXModem and Hylafax with SAIL

[timn]

I have been playing around with Sail/IAXModem/Hylafax setup today as a possible solution to a forthcoming loss of fax pstn line. Definitive instructions etc seemed to be hard to find but I managed to get things working.

I have produced a wiki page for anyone that is interested http://wiki.contribs.org/IAXModem_with_Sail_and_HylaFax

Think I have got all my notes down and not missed anything. Feel free to try or tell me if I am wrong.

I've updated the wiki to use a template fragment for the iaxmodem configuration and to get the relevant values form the selintra database.

After an update to Asterisk14-1.4.28-88, the iaxmodem failed to register, with the following error showing in asterisk cli

[Feb  3 13:45:23] ERROR[6265]: chan_iax2.c:4322 handle_call_token: Call rejected, CallToken Support required. If unexpected, resolve by placing address 127.0.0.1 in the calltokenoptional list or setting user 2000 requirecalltoken=no

Adding requirecalltoken=no to the fax extension stanza cured it.

I have updated the wiki

Yes - you are quite correct.  Digium have tightened up IAX trunking security in  Asterisk-1.4.28 and the new parameter is now necessary.
There are quite a few references to it on the web.  I think we should revisit it to see what the possible consequences of running with it off might be.

Good input

Best
