# Linux Fax Stack Setup (HylaFax & SIP)
|
||||
|
||||
Linux Fax Stack using Hylafax and t38modem.
|
||||
- ***This guide is WIP***
|
||||
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS VM (VirtualBox, LXC?)
|
||||
- **TODO: Test on Debian / RockPi / RaspberryPi**
|
||||
- **TODO: Test on Eventphone Infra**
|
||||
|
||||
***THIS GUIDE IS WIP***
|
||||
<hr/>
|
||||
|
||||
This guide was created using information from the opalvoid wiki (http://wiki.opalvoip.org/index.php?n=Main.HomePage)
|
||||
## Setup t38modem
|
||||
|
||||
## Softwarestack
|
||||
- **TODO: Package t38modem with service files and config**
|
||||
|
||||
### ptlib
|
||||
(legacy) library for doing a little bit of everything.
|
||||
## Opal
|
||||
|
||||
### Opal
|
||||
Voice codec used by e.g. mumble.
|
||||
|
||||
### t38modem
|
||||
Emulates a serial modem from SIP connetion
|
||||
|
||||
### Hylafax
|
||||
Enterprise grade software, managing physical and emulated modems.
|
||||
|
||||
Has some problems: https://github.com/lexbailey/compilerfax/blob/main/hylafax_is_broken
|
||||
|
||||
## Operating Systems
|
||||
Unfortunately this software stack uses a lot of legacy software. Because of this, this guide was only tested on specific software versions
|
||||
|
||||
### Debian 12 Bookworm
|
||||
For Debian 12, we´ll only install dependencies which are hard requirements.
|
||||
For this guide we'll use ptlib 2.18.6 and opal 3.18.6.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installing Requirements
|
||||
First we'll need some packages
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
apt-get install build-essential git wget pkg-config libssl-dev libsrtp2-dev -y
|
||||
```
|
||||
#### Download sourcecode
|
||||
Versions:
|
||||
- libpt (2.18.6) https://sourceforge.net/projects/opalvoip/files/v3.18 Cygni/Stable 6/
|
||||
- opal (3.18.6) https://sourceforge.net/projects/opalvoip/files/v3.18 Cygni/Stable 6/
|
||||
- t38mdem (4.6.2) https://github.com/hehol/t38modem/releases/tag/4.6.2
|
||||
|
||||
#### ptlib
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./configure
|
||||
make
|
||||
make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### opal
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./configure
|
||||
make -j5
|
||||
make runtest
|
||||
make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### t38modem
|
||||
If you are getting error about `-1` not being able to be casted to a `long unsigned int` due to `-Wnarrowing` inside `dle.cxx`, you can add `-Wno-narrowing` after the `CPPFLAGS` in the Makefile to disable this error
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/hehol/t38modem
|
||||
cd t38modem
|
||||
make
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If running the t38modem executable, you should run these commands
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cp /usr/local/lib/libpt.so.2.18.6 /lib
|
||||
cp /usr/local/lib/libopal.so.3.18.6 /lib
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To install t38modem run
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cp ./t38modem /usr/local/bin
|
||||
```

## Configuring t38modem
|
||||
### Init script
|
||||
|
||||
- To automatically start t38modem, you need to create Systemd services, as well as start and stop scripts
|
||||
- script is adapted from https://web.archive.org/web/20111231021042/https://www.foriamroot.org/hylafax-6-0-debian-or-ubuntu-t38modem-1-0-asterisk-1-6/
|
||||
|
||||
First we'll create the configuration directory under `/etc` using `sudo mkdir -p /etc/t38modem/bin/`.
|
||||
|
||||
Then create a file named `/etc/t38modem/bin/run` using the following content.
|
||||
It will be the script to manage the current status of t38modem.
|
||||
- `sudo mkdir -p /etc/t38modem/bin/`
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

And then we'll have to make it executable like this.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo chmod +x /etc/t38modem/bin/run
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick script overview
|
||||
- Using that script, it is possible to `start` or `stop` the emulated modem.
|
||||
- `-t` enables debugging
|
||||
- More `t`'s is deeper debugging (e.g. `-tttt`)
|
||||
- You can of course run the t38modem command without this init script
|
||||
- If t38modem says it was able to create the virtual modem but `/dev/ttyT38-1` is not available, you do not have sufficient permissions
|
||||
- Configuration is specified in `/etc/t38modem/config`
|
||||
|
||||
### Create the configuration file
|
||||
Create a file using the following contents at `/etc/t38modem/config`.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# /etc/t38modem/config
|
||||
T38MODEM_SIP_USERNAME="USERNAME"

|
|||
T38MODEM_SIP_SERVER="voip.example.com"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You should give only root access to the config.
|
||||
- Give only root access to the config
|
||||

||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo chown root:root /etc/t38modem/config
|
||||
sudo chmod 700 /etc/t38modem/config
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing your setup
|
||||
- You can now communicate with your modem `/dev/ttyT38-1` , just as if it was a real Hayes compatible modem (https://www.computerhope.com/atcom.htm)
|
||||
- Test using minicom, configure it to point to our modem. Each command is initiated by a Return
|
||||
- Dial a number:
|
||||
- Get the attention of the modem: `at` -> `OK`
|
||||
- Dial: `atd[NUMBER]`, replace '[NUMBER]' using the number, you want to call
|
||||
- Dial: `atd0123456789`
|
||||
- If all works correctly you should be able to answer the phone and hear a single beep
|
||||
- Answer a call:
|
||||
- Get the attention of the modem: `at` -> `OK`

### systemd service
|
||||
If you want to run a fax server, you can create a systemd service to let your emulated fax modem start automatically on system boot.
|
||||
To do this you have to copy paste the following into `/etc/systemd/system/t38modem.service`.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
# /etc/systemd/system/t38modem.service
