Hello,

If I'm not mistaken, it is not possible to get T.38 on a SPA3102 FXO
port (it is possible with the FXS port).
Do you know, by experience preferably, if this is possible with an
SPA8800 FXO port ?


Regards

Perhaps page 50 (Using a Fax Machine) of this document
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/csbpvga/ata/administration/guide/ATA_AG_v3_NC-WEB.pdf
will answer your question.

There is also another document you may want to reference.

https://supportforums.cisco.com/sites/default/files/legacy/8/1/0/42018-SPA8800_Asterisk_101909.pdf

In your sip.conf configuration you will need;

canreinvite=no

For newer version of Asterisk I expect you would set;

directmedia=no


You may want to change the SPA8800 option 'FAX T38 Redundancy' to the
value you have set for redundancy in udptl.conf or 3 if using the
default settings.

It's been a while since I played with my SPA8800, with the test I
performed it did work, that was inbound and outbound calls.

Larry.

Reading your question again, no the FXO port will not perform T.38, you
are limited to G711 pass-through, from memory my SPA8800 was on the LAN
the Asterisk PBX was attached and faxes were pretty good though I would
have preferred to see T.38.

Grandstream ATA's support T.38 on the FXO port.

Thanks for sharing this here:
while it's not always easy to discover what a product can do, it's
harder to know what it CANNOT do.

Thanks

I had a lot of trouble to localize SPA3102 settings for Caller ID
presentation, for instance.

How does Grandstream localization works ?
Do you also have hundreds of parameters for this or do you simply
select a Country within a pre-configured list (like Patton smartnodes)
?

T.38 is a relay protocol for transmitting Group 3 facsimiles over a packet network. It has
nothing to do with the analog FXS or FXO signaling, but it should not be too difficult to use
Asterisk as a gateway. I never needed to do this myself, so I can't tell whether there are any
subtle points.

I was fortunate that there is plenty of information for configuring an
SPA3000 & SPA3102 for my country.

Perhaps page 53 of this document
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/csbpvga/ata/administration/guide/ATA_AG_v3_NC-WEB.pdf
may help, the other parameter I needed to adjust to receive Caller ID
was the 'PSTN Answer Delay' setting.

I can't recall any great pain setting up an HT-503, I suspect I based
settings upon an SPA3102/SPA8800, the T.38 faxing on the FXO was
successful after a Firmware Upgrade, it was a couple of years ago when I
was setting this up.

Larry.

I know all this.

My question came from the fact that as strange as it may seem, SPA3102
and similar products do not offer the SIP features depending on
terminating/originating port.
More precisely, when a SIP fax call comes in through an FXS port, it
triggers T.38 while it doesn't trigger T.38 when an FXO port is used
instead.

Yes, sure.

So, if i understand the question correctly, you have:
Asterisk SIP-> SPA3102 FXS -> Analog fax machine
and the PBX to SPA3102 communications are T.38 before converting to analog to go to the fax machine. Then in the other situation you would have:
Analog line -> SPA3102 FXO port -> Asterisk SIP
and the SPA3102 to Asterisk communication isn't doing T.38?

If that is the case, the only thing I can think of is that maybe they were not thinking that many people would want to do the second situation with a low end device? I imagine the main use case it to keep the old analog device around after switching to SIP delivery. Probably didn't expect to see analog delivery that gets translated to a sip fax endpoint.

Though I do agree that once you have the transcoding option, I would think it would be trivial to apply it to both ports.

I fully agree.

Maybe a simple 3102 has memory limitations, but I would expect an
8-ports device (SPA8800) to alsa support T.38 with communications
passing through FXO ports.
Thanks to Larry's testimony, I'm aware this is not the case.
