Rightfax PRI issue sending to PSTN (DOD E1)

[ichehouri]

Hi,

i have VG 3945 with the following:

- 1 DID E1 going to PSTN (controller E1 0/1/1)

- 1 DID E1 going to PSTN dedicated to Rightfax service (controller E1 0/2/0)

- 1 DOD E1 going to PSTN (controller E1 0/1/0)

- 1 PRI going to Rightfax server (controller E1 0/3/0)

i can receive calls to right fax server normaly from the first and second DID. my issue is the faxes going out from the Rightfax. since i have to use specific 4 digit number to send any call/fax to the outside the call should not work. Iam wondering how can i mask the calls going from the rightfax with specific number.

note that i recive 4 digit extension to my local phones (8... and 9...). for the Rightfax E1 i have a dedicated number in which i receive 0064 from ISP

the configuration is as follows:

controller E1 0/1/0
framing NO-CRC4
ds0-group 0 timeslots 1-15,17-31 type r2-digital r2-compelled ani

Any suggestions please. I need to mask the outgoing calls comming from the rightfax PRI with specific number (note that my gateway is H323)

Hi Ibrahim,

I didn't understand your exact requirement.

Would you like to mask  ANI (calling number) or DNIS (called number) from Right Fax server outgoing calls? Any example?

Regards...

-Ashok.

Hi Ashok,

i want to mask the calling number with for example 9449. I want to do that since any call comming from PRI (rightfax) is with no number and it will not be able to go to the outside (DOD). So if i send the call with 9449 my ISP will recognize it as one of the allowed extensions (my available range is 9... in which 9449 is not used by any phone so i can use it here)

regards,

Ibrahim

Hi Ibrahim,

We can use translation rule with Null string like below.

voice translation-rule 2
 rule 1 /.*/ /9449/

voice translation-profile Test
 translate calling 2

And, you can apply this "Test" profile either on Voice port or PoTS Dial peer connecting to Right Fax.

This translation will change the Null Calling number to 9449 before routing the call out.

The following Tech Note gives a lot of examples...

Hope it helps...

Regards...

Hi,

i tried the exact translation you mentioned on an incomming dial-peer with the Rightfax PRI port yesturday  but it did not work.

This is what i tried:

dial-peer voice 56 pots
incoming called-number .

translation-profile incoming Test
fax rate disable
direct-inward-dial
port 0/3/0:15

Do you mean i need to do the following or what exactly:

voice-port 0/3/0:15

  translation-profile incoming Test

note that 0/3/0:15 is the Rightfax PRI port

regards,

Ibrahim

1. Test the voice translation rule is working properly with "test" command.

test voice translation-rule 2 ""

2. If it works fine, then the inbound dial peer might not be hitting correctly when calls hit from Right fax.  

3. Try to apply on Voice port directly which can translate ANI for all incoming calls from Right Fax.

Finally, if the voice gw is not still in production or having very light traffic, then you may troubleshoot 
with "debug voip ccapi inout" command to see the flow and translation failures if any. If you can capture the
logs with this command, please share here to look further.

Hi,

it is working now. i managed to make the right fax server send calls with specific extention so i do not need to have any translation in this way.
