Fax problem (Zoiper, external extension)


lionfort

Recommended Posts

Dear Snom-Community,

 

I have been setting up snomOne free now for about 10 days and I have been playing around with some preferences and features. I have also tested auto attendant and such very nice features...my SIP trunk provider also told me to support all necessary fax codecs (like T.38) which Zoiper and other external fax devices need to support.

 

Now that I have been trying all the other things, I have decided to test the very last thing...the fax-feature...unfortunately non of my tries worked:

 

1. I have tried to register a ZoiPer SIP Client as a fax .... not working (I thought because it was a free version)

2. I have tried to send the call to an external fax device ... not working

3. I have tried to send the fax-call to another (knowingly working) fax-machine ... not receiving the fax

 

How can I finally manage to receive faxes IF my SIP trunk provider guarantees to have T.38 turned on?

Hi,

 

I have tried that and the result did not satisfy me...indeed it did not work for me!

Well, there is a BYE message in the trace and obviously a lot of RTP audio (non-T.38) with a service provider on public IP. The interesting part would have been the beginning of the call, where the PBX tries to send a Re-INVITE with the T.38 stuff in the SDP. Can you trya again and record from the begining?

I am looking at some old posts in the forum about Zoiper... (http://forum.snomone.com/index.php?/topic/2256-fax-help/). It seems that Zoiper does not detect the fax tone in the regular RTP stream, so that yes the PBX will redirect the call to Zoiper when it detects fax in the media stream, but then Zoiper does not detect it and just sits there. The post is already a few years old, maybe Zoiper in the meantime has an option to detect the CNG tone; if not I am afraid Zoiper will not be the solution to your problem.

Dear helpers,

 

I just tried the following setup:

 

Auto Attendant --> Forward with "F" to ZoiPer Extension (not possible)

Auto Attendant --> Forward with "F" to Fax Online fax number (not possible)

Auto Attendant --> Forward with "F" to PSNT old fashioned fax (not possible)

 

I assume that the PBX changes the codec to a non working tone :( so why is nothing here possible...I am kind of frustrated because it is not possible to receive a fax in any way...I must be able to receive a fax...

I assume that the PBX changes the codec to a non working tone :( so why is nothing here possible...I am kind of frustrated because it is not possible to receive a fax in any way...I must be able to receive a fax...

 

Fax is not easy if you transmit the data over the public Internet. Because Fax is a modem, when you loose a single RTP packet, the fax transmission is over. That is why they invented T.38 (unfortunately it also solves only a part of the problem, thats why people move to https-based fax). First of all, your service provider msut support it; and then the connected device. Many people just use a ATA, with that it kind of stable works (e.g. AudioCodes ATA even support HTTPS Fax). There is also fax to email software available, but this is usually not so cheap. Modern Fax devices even support fax to email, the cheapest route might be to get a ATA then connect it over the cable with a 200 USD printer that support fax to email.
