Asterisk 1.4.21.2
FreePbx 2.7
SIP trunk multi-channel (no modem, no card, etc)
Having read that FreePbx 2.7 supports FFA, I registered a free channel and upgraded to FreePBX 2.7, ignored the remark that FFA was tested as of Asterisk 1.4.22 and tried to understand how to use it.
As I run 1.4 it means I will not have SIP T.38 (only for 1.6), so if I understand correctly I need to choose whether to use Zaptel/NV fax detect on a SIP trunk.
Questions:
1. I have no telephony card, can I still choose Zaptel to detect faxes?
If yes, the instruction says to set faxdetect= in the zaptel.conf, but in zaptel.conf it says do not hand edit, so what to do?
2. NV fax detect: will this work to detect faxes on a SIP trunk and work together with FFA?
In order to further test it I am now facing a decision to upgrade Asterisk unless someone by chance has had it working on 1.4.21.2:
1. Upgrade to Asterisk 1.4.22 (is there an automatic way to do this, I have seen the manual instructions in a thread) and do proper testing with zaptel/nv fax detection
2. Upgrade to Asterisk 1.6.x in order to include T.38 capability on the SIP trunk
Is upgrading Asterisk a relative safe and automatic process and will it be worth the effort to have FFA working?
Thank you
