Definitely a valid point on ECM - it can help with a few errors detected on transmitted page, but consistent errors will simply cause ECM to retransmit again, and again, until the fax fails, redials, detects more errors and repeats the retransmissions, fax failure, redial, repeat again, etc. Adding to this, you can disable ECM from a Cisco voice gateway when using fax relay. When using pass-through, this can’t be done in IOS and must be done on the fax machine itself, but fax relay has the capability to the ECM “advertisement” from the destination fax machine’s DIS, which is basically a series of tones communicating its capabilities (ECM being one of them). If this gets stripped from the DIS, the originating fax machine will simply think ECM isn’t supported and will never negotiate it when sending its DCS.
This done on the terminating gateway: For SIP/H.323 voice service voip fax-relay ecm disable For MGCP no mgcp fax t38 ecm Hope this helps. - Dan From: Ryan Huff [mailto:ryanh...@outlook.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2015 10:53 AM To: nh...@co.fresno.ca.us; Daniel Pagan <dpa...@fidelus.com>; norm.nichol...@kitchener.ca; cisco-voip@puck.nether.net Subject: Re: [cisco-voip] SIP analog gateways My experince is that analog faxing over SIP is sometimes a dance. What I have found to work consistently is to disable SuperG3 and ECM on the fax modem and restrict the rx/tx of the modem to 14.4 Kbps.

The two caveats that immediately come to mind are applicable to a non-Cisco FXS gateway using SIP as well: 1) Lack of SCCP supplementary services http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/voice/fxs/configuration/guide/15_1/fxs_15_1_cg_book/fxssccpsplmft.html 2) Unable to use shared line appearances between the VG2XX and non-VG2XX device. Just two things to keep in mind. I’ve seen this sometimes act as a deal breaker w/ SIP to the FXS gateway. Hope this helps in some way. - Dan From: cisco-voip [mailto:cisco-voip-boun...@puck.nether.net] On Behalf Of norm.nichol...@kitchener.ca<mailto:norm.nichol...@kitchener.ca> Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2015 7:10 PM To: cisco-voip@puck.nether.net<mailto:cisco-voip@puck.nether.net> Subject: [cisco-voip] SIP analog gateways Anyone using a SIP FXS gateway instead of a VG224.
