Using Hylafax with Diva Media boards

NOTE

Whilst Dialogic can offer support on the Dialogic-specific parts of the installation, if your problem is more general, such as being unable to compile Hylafax, we recommend you contact the support forum for that particular package.

Follow the instructions below in order to carry out a basic configuration of a Diva Media Board with Hylafax.

Download the latest Diva System Release for Linux for your Diva Media board. This is available from the

Dialogic Diva System Release for Linux page.

Ensure that you do not have the ISDN4Linux driver or the HiSax driver installed. The Diva System Release has a TTY interface, so the CAPI4Hylafax package is also not required.

Follow

How to install Diva System Release for Linux.

Follow the

Configuration procedure. Make sure that as part of the configuration you specify that you want to use the TTY Interface.

After installing Hylafax, please use the following configuration file as a template for your scenario. Save this file as config.ttyds01, for example.

This allows enough time for the calling party number and called party number information to be passed to the Hylafax application.

ModemResetCmds: AT#CID=14+iQ=a1

This passes the called party number and calling party number in a format that Hylafax understands. The command +iQ=a1, binds the tty port to a Diva Media board (or to a controller where the board has more than one controller), which in this example is controller 1.

If you have multiple Diva Media Boards in your machine, or if you have a Diva 4BRI (which has 4 controllers), use the command +iQ=aN where N is the number of the card (or controller if you have a 4BRI) that you want to bind your tty port to.

In addition, if you have a Diva Analog board, use the command +iK=aM where M is the line number of the Diva Analog board that you want to bind your tty port to. This command must be used in conjunction with the AT+iQ command to first set the controller number that the tty interface is bound to. An example can be found here.

Note: Several other AT commands may be used in the ModemResetCmds string.
