Mediant 1000 Gateway & E-SBC | User's Manual
â– Echo Canceller = on
â– Silence Compression = off
â– Echo Canceller Non-Linear Processor Mode = off
â– Dynamic Jitter Buffer Minimum Delay = 40
â– Dynamic Jitter Buffer Optimization Factor = 13
When the device initiates a fax session using G.711, a ‘gpmd’ attribute is added to the SDP
according to the following format:
â– For G.711A-law:
a=gpmd:0 vbd=yes;ecan=on
■For G.711 µ-law:
a=gpmd:8 vbd=yes;ecan=on
In this mode, the 'Fax Transport Mode' (FaxTransportMode) parameter is ignored and automatically
set to Disable (transparent mode).
➢ To configure fax fallback mode:
1. Open the Gateway General Settings page (Setup menu > Signaling & Media tab > Gateway
folder > Gateway General Settings), and then from the 'Fax Signaling Method' drop-down list
(IsFaxUsed), select Fax Fallback:
2. Click Apply.
Fax/Modem Bypass Mode
In this proprietary mode, when fax or modem signals are detected, the channel automatically
switches from the current voice coder to a high bit-rate coder, according to the 'Fax/Modem Bypass
Coder Type' parameter (FaxModemBypassCoderType). The channel is also automatically
reconfigured with the following fax / modem adaptations:
â– Disables silence suppression
â– Enables echo cancellation for fax
â– Disables echo cancellation for modem
â– Performs certain jitter buffering optimizations
The network packets generated and received during the bypass period are regular voice RTP
packets (per the selected bypass coder), but with a different RTP payload type according to the
following parameters:
â– 'Fax Bypass Payload Type' (FaxBypassPayloadType)
â– ModemBypassPayloadType (ini file)
During the bypass period, the coder uses the packing factor, configured by the 'Fax/Modem
Bypass Packing Factor' parameter (FaxModemBypassM). The packing factor determines the
number of coder payloads (each the size of FaxModemBypassBasicRTPPacketInterval) that are
used to generate a single fax/modem bypass packet. When fax/modem transmission ends, the
reverse switching, from bypass coder to regular voice coder is performed.
➢ To configure fax / modem bypass mode:
1. Open the Gateway General Settings page (Setup menu > Signaling & Media tab > Gateway
folder > Gateway General Settings), and then from the 'Fax Signaling Method' drop-down list
(IsFaxUsed), select No Fax.
