----------------------------------

I was investigating about the issue...the ata 186 can work with these fax modes:

• G.711 fax pass-through

• G.711 fax mode

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6788/phones/ps514/ps515/product_data_sheet09186a008007cd72.html

And the sip provider's SoftX3000 Huawei support these fax modes:

Facsimile codec mode

T.38 mode:

Media gateway encodes facsimile signals from a facsimile machine according to the

encoding mode recommended in the T.38 protocol, and encapsulates them in IFP data

packets which will be transmitted in real time on the IP network. The transmission of IFP

data packets is based on either TCP or UDP. In the case of TCP, the TCP provides a

mechanism to guarantee the reliability of the transmission by itself. In the case of UDP,

the T.38 protocol provides a forward error mechanism. Therefore, an outstanding

advantage of the T.38 mode is its high reliability which ensures a high quality of facsimile.

Normal mode

Media gateway encodes facsimile signals sent by a facsimile machine to be voice

codes (such as G.711, G.723, or G.729), and encapsulates them in RTP data packets

which will be transmitted in real time on the IP network. Because the transmission of

RTP data packets is based on UDP only which does not provide a forward error

correction mechanism, facsimile communication in such a normal mode is sensitive to

loss of packets. Once some packets are lost during the transmission, the video at the

receiver may be incomplete or the facsimile may be interrupted.

Hi  Andresfmg,

Can you please post the h323 configuration. Am testing the same scenari, so that i can use is as a referrence.

I faced some issues with Unity. Once the call is transfered to the Mailbox, am not able to hear any welcome message from Unity.
