Hi all, I'm trying to build a fax relay mechanism where faxes come in and get relayed out to their final destination. I'm using the h extension to store various results from both legs. This data is being saved correctly for the first (receiving) leg. The second leg isn't calling the h extension when it's finished. The second leg is being initiated by a .call file like: Channel: local/1505xxxxxxx@context Application: sendfax Data: /tmp/voice11-voice11-1392668806.182025.tiff,zfds WaitTime: 90 MaxRetries: 2 Account: vFax CallerID: "Fax" <505xxxxxxx> The h extension calls an agi scrip that logs a bunch of information about the fax attempt. Works just fine when I receive a fax. But there is no sign of it in the logs for the sending leg of the fax. Is there something I need to do in order to get the h extension to get called? Mike.

Is there something I need to do in order to get the h extension to get called?

Would the 'g' dial() option help?

"Proceed with dialplan execution at the current extension if the
destination channel hangs up."

It won't take you to h, but it may allow you to do what you need to do --
even if the next dialplan priority just says 'goto h.'

Thanks in advance,

I'm actually a bit confused about what channel(s) are executing the
'h' extension. From the description in OP's e-mail, it sounds as if at
least one channel is dropping into the 'h' extension, and some
channels are not. Which channels are they? If it is the outbound
channel, then since that channel doesn't execute dialplan, it will
never get put into the 'h' extension, unless you use the Dial
application's 'e' option. If you want hangup logic and you're using
Asterisk 11+, you could also use a hangup handler on the outbound
channel.

But otherwise, I would expect that the 'h' extension would always be
fired for a channel executing dialplan, so long as it is in the same
context.

Matthew,

I don't think I've been as clear as I'd like.

I've got some fax-connected TA's that make outbound calls. The dial
plan routes those calls to an AGI script that captures the fax image,
the destination phone number, and creates a call file to deliver the
image to the destination.

The first outbound call executes the h extension when it is hung up.
The second call, created by the call file, doesn't execute the h
extension, even though I use the dialplan to actually route the
outbound call.

So, I'm ending up with statistics on the reception of the fax, but not
the final delivery.

Does that make more sense?

Mike.
