Re: FAX on H.248/MEGACO

Andre,
 
facsimile is a voiceband data (VBD) service in PSTN/ISDN, there are
basically two transfer technologies in IP networks.
Before looking at the control aspects (= H.248), you should firstly
consider the bearer service options. See
 
V.152 (01/05)
<http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-V.152/recommendation.asp?lang=en&parent=T-
REC-V.152-200501-I>  Procedures for supporting voice-band data over IP
networks  
and
 
T.38 (04/07)
<http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-T.38/recommendation.asp?lang=en&parent=T-R
EC-T.38-200704-I>  Procedures for real-time Group 3 facsimile
communication over IP networks  
 
Both ITU-T Recommendations providing sections on H.248.
You may see that there are two options already for T.38.

	Appendix III (H.248 call establishment procedure examples for
facsimile-capable media gateways) from T.38 Spec should have what you
are looking for. I am looking at draft in force (04/2007).

	Hi,

	 

	I've been asked about something not clear on specs: When a MG
receives fax and/or modem tones on RTP port, it should change the codecs
in order to allow tones to be passed in a correct way to be decoded as a
fax or modem in the other side. There are some options (i.e. using G.711
or T.38). This way, the MG which detected the fax tone must set up a new
codec. For this, we have two options: automatic or negotiated. 

	It's not clear on RFC which of these options is mandatory for
the MG, or if both of them. Could you help me with this?

	Would someone could provide call-flows regarding fax/modem
detection?

	 

	Thanks,

	ANDRE
