Hi
Our customer is using CUCM 6.1 with ATA186 and 2811 H.323 (12.4(9)T) Gateways with ISDN BRI. Now they have installed a Super G3 FAX which can not be reconfigured to G3 speeds. Calls from that Super G3 FAX to other Super G3 FAXes don't work as the ATA186 does not support Super G3. Hence we inserted a VIC2-2FXS card in the gateway and configured it for SCCP with the CUCM and T.38 with "fax-relay sg3-to-g3". The FAX calls from the Super G3 FAX to other Super G3 FAXes still fail (calls are disconnected after approx. 8 sec). I think the fax relay configuration is not really used because when the call is established there is no VoIP call leg, just the 2 POTS call legs.
Has anyone successfully connected a Super G3 FAX to an FXS port an was able to fax with other Super G3 FAXes over a ISDN interface on the same gateway?
If so, please let me now.
Many thanks in advance
Regards
Stefan

My understanding is that SG3 is not supported under fax-relay/T38 only under passthrough. As SG3 uses special tones standard fax pass-through doesn't recognise the setup so you need modem passthrough. I hope that this helps. There is a very good fax book produced by Cisco Press - do you have Safari?

Following is a config for SCCP controlled faxing on the FXS port and MGCP controlled ISDN BRI. This had a SuperG3 fax on the FXS port 0/3/0 and worked fine at SG3 speeds after we added 'no fax-relay sg3-to-g3' under voice service voip settings. Putting this command back to the default would force the fax back to to normal T30 speeds.
Due to some other issues the customer later put the FXS port under MGCP control and this worked fine at SG3 speeds as well.

Hi Paul
Thanks for your reply.
Finally with the fax manual I was able to disable the Super G3 function (V.34) and then it worked fine.
I will try your configuration once I really need the Super G3 speed.

Stefan

Hi Joe
Unfortunately we don't have Safari yet. Thanks for your post, the post from Paul already had a config for modem-passthrough.
Actually I was looking for "SG3 to G3 fall-back" which didn't really worked in my setup. Finally I was able to reconfigure the fax machine to G3.
Kind Regards
Stefan
