nathans Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Hi, Can anybody recommend the best ATA to integrate an analog FAX machine with a snomONE PBX? We have a client with 5 MFC printers with Fax and need to have them integrated into a fully digital installation (no analog phones lines, only a digital PRI and no FXO/FXS ports on the PBX, only E1 cards) Any good and proven ones out there? Patton M-ATA? Cisco? any experience with any of these or others? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlandis Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Some people say fax over ata (on lan) should work fine. We have not had good success. We suggest fax over https server or pstn. We are going to test M-ata again with a PRI customer here in the next few weeks sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voipguy Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 any update if m-ata works well ? it doesn't matter what ata you use, your still doing T38 faxing which is not perfect and relies on so many things such as your local internet connection, who you use for T38 termination and so on. A Linksys SPA2102 with the 5.2.12 firmware update from Jan 2011 improved the reliability of it's T38. I can get 6 or 7 out of 10 faxes to go through without errors, before the 5.2.12 update it was less then 50%. If you want 100% success rate which is what you should want then use PSTN or HTTPS faxing - the faxback guys perfected that and Audicodes helped out with the firmware for the ATA.
