onramp fax problems

js
Level 1
Level 1

Hello,

I'm currently working on configuring onramp Fax on a Cisco 3825 with IOS 12.4(15)T9. We have Cisco CallManager Express 4.1 and Cisco Unity Express 3.1(NME-CUE module)

I got some questions:

I've configured the necessary dial-peers, one inbound pots and one mmoip.We have a faxmachine here in our office, so when I send a fax to 00765724099 it doesn't work. It dials the string but after 40 seconds it just disconnects with I think a busy tone.

With show dial-peer voice 2000, I get Last Disconnect Text is "no user answer (19)",

With show dial-peer voice 3000, I get disconnect-cause = `no-service'

What am I doing wrong here?

If you need more information about my configuration, just ask.

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

Below part of my configuration:

fax interface-type fax-mail
mta send server 192.x.x.x port 25
mta send with-subject both
mta send mail-from username gb
!
application
  service onramp flash:app_faxmail_onramp.2.0.1.3.tcl
  !

voice-port 0/0/0
translate calling 1
compand-type a-law
cptone NL
!

dial-peer voice 2000 pots
description Binnenkomende gespreken ISDN
service onramp
incoming called-number 765724099
direct-inward-dial
port 0/0/0

dial-peer voice 3000 mmoip
description FAX
service fax_on_vfc_onramp_app out-bound
destination-pattern 765724099

Thanks,

T.37 does not requires AAA or radius. I think your config is correct, not sure why is failing.

Try "debug foip on-ramp" or other debugs from: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_1t/12_1t5/feature/guide/dtfaxcom.html#wp1007025

You can also try a different IOS, eg 12.4(22)YB4

Begin taking "debug isdn q931" with "term mon".

I get the following output:

Do you have the .tcl file copied into flash ?

Can you take "debug voice application script"

Yes, I do.

I think I know where the problems lies. In AAA.

Just read this in the Readme file of the .tcl script.

Edit:

Can a Cisco 3825 Router act as a RADIUS server?

Am I on the right track or completely off?

If the problem lies with AAA, can't onramp faxing be configured without using AAA and a RADIUS server?

T.37 does not requires AAA or radius. I think your config is correct, not sure why is failing.

Try "debug foip on-ramp" or other debugs from: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_1t/12_1t5/feature/guide/dtfaxcom.html#wp1007025

You can also try a different IOS, eg 12.4(22)YB4

Thanks for the reply. Good to know that RADIUS isn't needed.

But I fixed it. It's working now.First I enabled debug fax mta all and went through it step by step and I saw:

007330: *Dec 24 14:29:45.165 WEST: //-1/F762056680C4/SMTPC/esmtp_client_engine_work_routine:
   error in response to MAIL FROM

I added the mta send mail-from hostname WORD command and it worked

I did not remembered which commands are mandatory and which are not.

Good to know you have it working.

Now the next problem occured. When I fax multiple pages, only the first one is shown in the TIFF file.

Any idea what might cause that?

Thanks for the nice rating.

Now most likely you need:

network-clock-participate wic 0

network-clock-select 1  BRI 0/1/1

My bad. It was already working. I was skipping through the pages the wrong way with the default windows viewer.

But I guess those commands won't hurt my config. So I'll just leave them in.

Thank you for your help!

Really appreciate it.

Yes they are really necessary.
