Re: [hylafax-users] Defining the MaxDials Parameter hylafax-4.2.0-1rh7 (RH7.3)

[Shaun McCullagh <shaun@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pedro,

Thanks for your explanation, but I'm still a bit confused.

The is one remote fax that we need to send faxes to that is very busy. The current config gives up after 12 attempts. As I have MaxTries set to '6'
should HylaFax give after six attempts?

Cheers

Shaun

Hi,

I would like HylaFax to make 24 attempts to send a
fax, but currently  
it will not make more than 12 attempts. Here is my
config file:

/etc/hylafax/etc/config
LogFacility:            local2
CountryCode:            31
AreaCode:               20
LongDistancePrefix:     0
InternationalPrefix:    00
DialStringRules:        etc/dialrules
ServerTracing:          1
SessionTracing:         0x4f
NoCarrierRetrys:        3               # retry 3
times on no carrier
MaxDials:               24               # Redial 24
times before 
discarding fax
MaxTries:               6               # Attempt to
send fax 6 times

Is MaxDials defined in another config file?
    

MaxDials and MaxTries is somewhat a bit confusing, but
not too much after reading man hylafax-config. But,
from your own config file, one can see this line:

MaxTries:      6         # Attempt to send fax 6 times

What's the difference? In your config file you are
saying "if connected, "dial" 24 times and wait for
answer from remote."

With MaxTries you are in the situation where the
server get line, dial 24 times and if after 6 tries
the remote didn't answer mark the job as failled.

Did I explained it well? I hope so. Cheers.

Pedro

  

Thanks

Shaun
