Hi All

Is there any special configuration needed to send and receive faxes on
an ATA device?
I am using G711.a with a Grandstream Handytone 486. I can send faxes
from a fax machine on the ATA, but receiving doesn't work. I get the
fax signal, but it just doesn't continue. The LAN is used purely for
VoIP traffic.

Enable pass thru fax mode on the HT486, or enable ulaw in your SIP config.

I am using alaw and I have already enabled the pass through. Does alaw
and ulaw work?
I can fax out, but not receive faxes.

Garth,

this is my sip-configuration for a fax machine at a AT386
; SIP Accounts Analog devices like Faxmachines
[analogdefaults](!)
type=friend
host=dynamic
dtmfmode=info
disallow=all
allow=gsm
allow=alaw
allow=ulaw
[222](analogdefaults)
context=sip-ol
callerid="Fax" <222>
username=222
secret=123
;

The ATA adapter itself is configured as follows:
Fax Mode: (x) T.38 (Auto Detect) Pass-Through

so, I don't even have configured Pass-Through
