34.2.1 Configuring Rerouting of Calls to Fax Destinations
You can configure the device to reroute incoming SBC calls identified as fax calls to a new
IP destination. The device identifies a fax call if it detects, within a user-defined interval, a
calling (CNG) tone on the originator side (incoming IP leg). If the device detects a fax call, it
terminates the call and reroutes it using a new INVITE to the new fax destination (new IP
Group). If the initial INVITE that was used to establish the voice call was already sent, the
device sends a CANCEL (if not connected yet) or a BYE (if already connected) to release
the call (with the internal disconnect reason RELEASE_BECAUSE_FAX_REROUTING,
translated to Q.850 reason GWAPP_NORMAL_UNSPECIFIED 31).
Note:
• You must configure the originating fax to use the G.711 coder.
• If the remote side replies with T.38 or G.711 VBD, fax rerouting is not done.
• If both fax rerouting and fax re-INVITE are configured, only fax rerouting is done.
The following procedure describes how to configure fax rerouting, using an example
consisting of three IP Groups.
 To configure fax rerouting:
1. Configure the fax detection interval:
a. Open the Fax/Modem/CID Settings page (Setup menu > Signaling & Media tab
> Media folder > Fax/Modem/CID Settings).
b. In the 'Fax Detection Timeout' field (SBCFaxDetectionTimeout), enter the
duration (in seconds) for which the device attempts to detect fax (CNG tone):
2. Configure three IP Groups in the IP Groups table (see Configuring IP Groups on page
353):
• IP Group #0 "HQ": This is the source IP Group, sending voice calls and fax calls.
• IP Group #1 "Voice": This is the destination for voice calls sent from IP Group #0.
• IP Group #2 "Fax": This is the destination for fax calls sent from IP Group #0.
3. For the fax destination (IP Group #2), do the following:
a. Configure a Coder Group with T.38, which allows fax transmission over IP (see
Configuring Coder Groups on page 415).
b. Configure an IP Profile (see Configuring IP Profiles on page 423):
♦ Assign it the Coder Group.
♦ Configure the 'Fax Rerouting Mode' parameter to Rerouting without delay:
c. Assign the IP Profile to IP Group#2.
4. Configure two adjacent IP-to-IP Routing rules in the IP-to-IP Routing table (see
Configuring SBC IP-to-IP Routing Rules on page 695):
