[asterisk-ss7] T38 fax issue

[Huseyin Kaya]

Hello

Does anyone has a working libb7 server that able to handle T38 faxing.

I am working on this for the last 10 days. But still no solution. 

I am receiving the call from sip and sending to telco with ss7. 

At the beginning of the call everything is fine ( i mean codec negotiation) . Then the remote sip side detects the fax tone that remote end sends and  Then the sip remote side sends the t38 invite and asterisk sends SIP 200 OK message with G711 and G729 codec in SDP.

My customer is saying that if i am sending SIP 200 OK to his T38 invite .in SDP of SIP 200 OK there should be only T38.
 

Also disabling t38 with t38pt_udptl=no didnt change anything.  Still asterisk is sending SIP 200 OK message with G711 and G729 codec in SDP as reply to T38 invite.


I will be glad if current libss7 users can advice me a way to find a solution on this issue

Regards

Hello

Actually it will be fine  If I can send sip 488 not acceptable here to the re invite of t38 .
But  Asterisk is sending sip 200 ok with voice codecs in SDP.
So if i was able to send sip 488 . The fax will contunie with g711 
Setting faxopt(gateway)=yes and t38pt_udptl = yes,redundancy,maxdatagram=400 didnt work. 
By setting these asterisk should send sip 200 with SDP T38 but it is still sending speech codec(g11u,etc..)  in SIP 200 sdp.
Also disabling  t38 with t38pt_udptl=no didnt change anything. 


Regards

Hi,
in addition to FAXOPT(gateway) you may try to request transmission 
medium from telco - see SS7_TMR or SS7_TMR_NUM, as it should be set on 
the outgoing (dahdi) channel you need to set it on the SIP channel with 
underscore (_SS7_TMR)

The possible options are defined in libss7.h and SS7_TMR_3K1_AUDIO (or 3 
as num) works fine here. If you can detect the fax calls you may request 
64K_UNRESTRICTED data for them
