CHAPTER15 Media
Mediant 4000 SBC | User's Manual
➢ To enable support for V.34 fax relay (T.38) at SG3 speed:
1. In the IP Profiles table (see Configuring IP Profiles), configure an IP Profile with the 'Fax
Signaling Method' parameter (IpProfile_IsFaxUsed) set to T.38 Relay.
2. In the Coder Groups table (see Configuring Coder Groups) set the coder used by the device to
G.729 (or any other supported codec).
3. On the Fax/Modem/CID Settings page, do the following settings:
● 'SIP T.38 Version' to Version 3 (SIPT38Version = 3).
● 'Fax Relay Max Rate' (RelayMaxRate) to 33,600bps (default).
● 'CNG Detector Mode' (CNGDetectorMode) to Disable (default).
● 'V.21 Modem Transport Type' to Disable (V21ModemTransportType = 0).
● 'V.22 Modem Transport Type' to Disable (V22ModemTransportType = 0).
● 'V.23 Modem Transport Type' to Disable (V23ModemTransportType = 0).
● 'V.32 Modem Transport Type' to Disable (V32ModemTransportType = 0).
● 'V.34 Modem Transport Type' to Disable (V34ModemTransportType = 0).
● 'CED Transfer Mode' to Fax Relay or VBD (CEDTransferMode = 0).
4. Set the ini file parameter, V34FaxTransportType to 1 (i.e., relay).
5. Set the ini file parameter, T38MaxDatagramSize to 560 (default).
● The T.38 negotiation should be completed at call start according to V.152
procedure (as shown in the INVITE example below).
● T.38 mid-call Re-INVITEs are supported.
● If the remote party supports only T.38 Version 0, the device "downgrades" the T.38
Version 3 to T.38 Version 0.
For example, the device sends or receives the following INVITE message, negotiating both audio
and image media:
