SMG digital gateway     77 
communication (switching to modem codec will  not be initiated, but  this operation still may be 
performed by the opposite gateway). 
  VCodec for VBD—the codec which is used for data transmission in the VBD mode. 
  Payload type for VBD—the load type which is used for data transmission in the VBD mode. 
–  Static—uses the  standard value  of  the  load type  for  a  codec (8  for  G.711A codec, 0  for 
G.711U codec). 
–  96–127—load types from the dynamic range. 
Fax settings 
  Fax  detector  mode—detects  the  transmission  direction  for  fax  tone  detection  with  subsequent 
switching to a fax codec: 
–  no detect fax—disables fax tone detection, but does not affect fax transmission (switching 
to fax codec will not be initiated, but this operation still may be performed by the opposite 
gateway); 
–  Caller and Callee—tones are detected during both fax transmission and reception. During 
fax  transmission,  a  CNG  FAX  signal  is  detected  from  the  subscriber's  line.  During  fax 
reception, a V.21 signal is detected from the subscriber's line; 
–  Caller—tones are  detected only  during fax  transmission. During  fax transmission, a  CNG 
FAX signal is detected from the subscriber's line; 
–  Callee—tones are detected only during fax reception. During fax reception, a V.21 signal is 
detected from the subscriber's line. 
  Fax relay mode—the protocol selected for fax transmission. 
  Fax relay max rate (bps)—the maximum transfer rate of a fax transmitted via the Т.38 protocol. 
This setting have influence on the gateway's ability to work with high-speed fax units. If fax units 
support  data  transfer  at  14,400 bauds  and  the  gateway  is  configured  to  9,600 bauds,  the 
maximum  rate  of  connection  between  the  fax  units  and  the  gateway  will  be  limited  by 
9,600 bauds. And vice versa, if fax units support data transfer at 9,600 bauds and the gateway is 
configured to 14,400 bauds, this setting does not affect the interaction and the maximum rate is 
defined by the fax units. 
  Fax relay rate management —defines the method of data transfer rate management: 
–  local  TCF—the  method  requires  the  TCF  tuning  signal  to  be  locally  generated  by  the 
recipient gateway. It is generally used for T.38 transmission via TCP; 
–  transferred TCF—the method requires the  TCF tuning signal to be  sent from the  sender 
device to the recipient one. It is generally used for T.38 transmission via UDP. 
  Т.38 data fill bits removal—padding bit removals and inserts for the data which is not related to 
ЕСМ (error correction mode). 
  Т.38 data redundancy—redundancy amount in Т.38 data packets (the number of previous packets 
in the next Т.38 packet). Introduction of redundancy allows the transmitted data sequence to be 
restored upon reception if some packets have been lost during transmission. 
  Т.38  data packetization—defines the frequency of  Т.38  packets  generation in milliseconds (ms). 
This option allows size adjustment for a transmitted packet. If the communicating gateway is able 
to receive datagrams with max. size of 72 bytes (maxdatagrammSize: 72), the packetisation time 
should be set to a minimum in SMG. 
  Т.38  data  transit—when a  call  is  performed  using  two  SIP  interfaces  with  the T.38  fax  transfer 
protocol being used by both of them, this setting allows the T.38 packets to transit between the 
interfaces with a minimum delay.
