Parameter Description
Configuring Coder Groups on page 326).
Web: Fax Signaling Method
CLI: fax-sig-method
[IpProfile_IsFaxUsed]
Defines the SIP signaling method for establishing and
transmitting a fax session when the device detects a fax.
[0] No Fax = (Default) No fax negotiation using SIP
signaling. The fax transport method is according to the
FaxTransportMode parameter.
[1] T.38 Relay = Initiates T.38 fax relay.
[2] G.711 Transport = Initiates fax/modem using the coder
G.711 A-law/Mu-law with adaptations (see Note below).
[3] Fax Fallback = Initiates T.38 fax relay. If the T.38
negotiation fails, the device re-initiates a fax session
using the coder G.711 A-law/Mu-law with adaptations
(see the Note below).
Notes:
Fax adaptations (for options 2 and 3):
Echo Canceller = On
Silence Compression = Off
Echo Canceller Non-Linear Processor Mode = Off
Dynamic Jitter Buffer Minimum Delay = 40
Dynamic Jitter Buffer Optimization Factor = 13
If the device initiates a fax session using G.711 (option 2
or 3), a 'gpmd' attribute is added to the SDP in the
following format:
For A-law: 'a=gpmd:8 vbd=yes;ecan=on'
For Mu-law: 'a=gpmd:0 vbd=yes;ecan=on'
When this parameter is set to 1, 2, or 3, the parameter
FaxTransportMode is ignored.
When this parameter is set to 0, T.38 might still be used
without the control protocol's involvement. To completely
disable T.38, set FaxTransportMode to a value other than
1.
For more information on fax transport methods, see
Fax/Modem Transport Modes on page 182.
The corresponding global parameter is IsFaxUsed.
Web: CNG Detector Mode
CLI: cng-mode
[IpProfile_CNGmode]
Enables the detection of the fax calling tone (CNG) and
defines the detection method.
[0] Disable = (Default) The originating fax does not detect
CNG; the device passes the CNG signal transparently to
the remote side.
[1] Relay = The originating fax detects CNG. The device
sends CNG packets to the remote side according to T.38
(if IsFaxUsed is set to 1) and the fax session is started. A
SIP Re-INVITE message is not sent and the fax session
starts by the terminating fax. This option is useful, for
example, when the originating fax is located behind a
firewall that blocks incoming T.38 packets on ports that
have not yet received T.38 packets from the internal
network (i.e., originating fax). To also send a Re-INVITE
message upon detection of a fax CNG tone in this mode,
set the parameter FaxCNGMode to 1 or 2.
[2] Event Only = The originating fax detects CNG and a
fax session is started by the originating fax, using the Re-
INVITE message. Typically, T.38 fax session starts when
