T.37 Onramp on FXS, directly attached Fax

[horst.wagner]

Hi,

I'm getting mad cause I don't find a valid configuration for T.37 onramp faxing with directly to the routers fxs-port attached Fax-machines.

I tried on cisco1760 and cisco2610XM with IOS-versions 12.3(8)T9,12.3(8)T11 and 12.3(14)T5. Onramp script is app_faxmail_onramp.2.0.1.3.tcl from the cisco Web-Site.

Onramp and offramp through PSTN (via BRI) works fine, so I can receive faxes from the PSTN in my email and also I can send emails which are send as faxes out the pstn!

But my directly attached faxes I cannot get run. Faxes from the pstn are configured with direct-inward-dial and so everything is fine. From fxs-attached fax-machine dialed digits have first to be collected but there is no dialtone and even if the fax ignores it there is no digit-collection.

For testing purposes I configured plar on the voice-port and it worked!

So the problenm ist the dialing!!!

Please no stupid links from documentations which I've allready read all!!

I now searched through the web for a working configuration example but there is none!!!

In the following you find an excerpt of my last configuration on 12.3(14)T5.

Thanks in advance

Horst
