Adding fax server to call manager

tanc08

Level 1

I would like to add a fax server to cisco call manager. When someone faxes the documnet, I want get detail from CDR table.

Is there anything I should know or pay attention ?

Which fax server works well ?

That is our setup as well. If you want your gateway to the PSTN to be MGCP then as far as I know this is the only way to do it. Xmedius will only connect to a h323 or sip gateway. I think it is little off too. If xmedius could/would support MGCP gateways or Cisco could/would allow H323 and MGCP on the same gateway that might reduce the need for the extra router and T1 cards. I maybe over simplifying the tech of it but, I'm the customer I just want it to work without a bunch of extra equipment.

I currently use a SIP or H323 connection for the PRI to CCM. The Xmediu and CCM can share the single gateway.

A SIP trunk will give you CAller ID and Name support , a H323 will only display Numbers. It works fine, but if I could use MGCP and still share the PRI on a single gatweay that would be better.

Could you post your configs?

Originally, I tried getting this to working using H323 to H323 on the same gateway... I have been unable to get this to work (the TAC couldn't help either) so I have a CMM module that I am Hairpinning calls into and then out a H323 trunk to a 2651XM... I get tone, but most faxes fail. It's not a QoS issue, because I have several ATA186's on the network that have no problems receiving or sending faxes.

Here you go. For the SIP Trunk conversion in CCM you will need a Annuciator setup to playback ringing tones and modify your Route-List/Groups as needed.
