Activating T38 passtrough in FreePBX

Jay2 · April 10, 2008, 7:01pm

Hi!

I am using Trixbox 2.6 , Asterisk 1.4 with FreePBX 2.4.
My setup includes a SIP telephony provider (wich use T38 for faxing), and lots of ATAs (T38 activated)
Now, I want to activate the T38 passtrough to be able to fax.
T38-SIP-provider <====> Asterisk <====> T38-ATA

However, it does not seems to work “out of the box”, and I do not know of any options to set the passtrough behaviour.
I have seen some info there and there, but nothung clear, and some howtos included messing into sip_additional.conf SIP extension’s config, a thing FreePBX wans not to do.

Have I missed something?
How can one activate the asterisk 1.4 + T38 fax passtrough ?

Thanks!

For T.38 you need to…

Setup /etc/asterisk/udptl.conf manually
add “t38pt_udptl=yes” to /etc/asterisk/sip_general_custom.conf

#2 basically tells asterisk that ALL of your SIP peers are T.38 capable (which is probably not true, but not really harmful either)

Unfortunatly I do not believe there is a “good” way using freepbx to add t38pt_udptl=yes to individual SIP peers…

This should probably be added to freepbx though… but its also perfectly possible its already been done as a patch and is in Trac already.

mwatson,
there is no harm in doing what you said so at this point there are no immediate plans to add it to the device level.

jperry999 · April 11, 2008, 5:27am

I don’t know what ATA you are using, but just to pass on my experience:

I tried using Linksys spa2102 since that states it can handle T.38
I connected up a fax machine to it, and tried to send a fax, via a VOIP provider that says they have many people faxing out using their service.
I could not get the spa2102 to work to do this with T.38, but it works 96% using G.711
(I am going directly from ATA out to VOIP provider, not through Asterisk).
And I have seen other posts that this subject is not exactly standardized enough to just work.
I would love to hear if you have an ATA that does work, and what the settings are.

mwatson · April 11, 2008, 2:03pm

Philippe,

Agreed, its not really harmful indicating that all of your peers are T.38 capable… the only thing I can see that might possible happen (and I’ll fully admit ahead of time that this is a ridiculas scenerio and should never happen in the real world…)

If somebody has a mix of peers that are fax-capable, but only some are T.38 capable… if a T.38 device and a non-T.38 device try and fax between each other it would fail… T.38-capable device will attempt to send a T.38 re-invite to the non-T.38-cabpe device that is falsly advertising itself as T.38-capable and I imagine the fax machines would fail to negotiate with each other… since one will be trying to do it over T.38 while the other is still trying to do it over the RTP channel… I can;t this setup in the real world though.

jperry,

I;m using Linksys SPA2102 ATA’s successfully with T.38.

I;m using the Attrafax modules available from Attractel for doing T.38 gatewaying (note: I do not work for them or endorse them in any way… just what I happen to be using).

I did have problems with the SPA2102 and attrafax at first, but updating the firmware on the ATA’s resolved the problem… might want to give that a try… I think I was running firmware 5.1.6 when I had problems… now I;m running 5.2.3, which is the latest release.

Try updating your firmware if you aren;t running 5.2.3 and see if that fixes your problem too… I can probably also help you with the settings i used on my SPA if you still have troubles.

Jay2 · April 11, 2008, 3:33pm

@jperry: I was using G.711, but my fax machine cannot be configured to go below 14.4, our internet is not perfectly reliable and most of our client use matusalem-class fax machines in remote areas where land lines are bad… It worked, but with about 60% sucess… I had to get T.38 running to garantee a better sucess rate.

Ok, I just configured as told, and it works now.
I must however configure “canreinvite=no” on the fax target ATA (or else, it tries to bypass asterisk completly in the t.38 reinvite!! Must be an asterisk bug…)

My ATA is a Mediatrix 1102. I ran a Wireshark trace between the ATA and Asterisk (Trixbox 2.6), and can confirm the G.711 conversation converted to T.38 as soon as the fax tone was heard.

Tested both incoming and outgoing (With a Fax on a POTS Landline)
My SIP provider is Babytel (very friendly, and advertised as t.38 compliant) .

Thanks to all of you! It works

jperry999 · April 11, 2008, 4:13pm

mwatson, yes please give me your spa2102 settings to make T.38 faxing work. I do have firmware 5.2.3 now on the device. I am using Gafachi – they specifically advertise T.38 and I spoke with their tech-support and they say they have customers doing thousands of minutes of faxing per month using T.38. So I think it is just some settings in my device. (Very response tech-support – answers the phone right away, but they have no help for configuring the devices.)

In the spa2102, I gather most settings are on the Line-X tab, and have the word “FAX” in them. But also on the SIP tab, what is your “RTP Packet Size” (I have .020), and any other relevant setting?

mwatson · April 14, 2008, 5:19pm

Hey jperry,

here are the settings I use on my SPA

on the "Line " tab:

FAX CED DETECT ENABLE: yes
FAX CNG DETECT ENABLE: yes
FAX PASSTHRU CODEC: G711u
FAX CODEC SYMMETRIC: yes
FAX PASSTHRU METHOD: ReINVITE
FAX PROCESS NSE: yes
FAX DISABLE ECAN: no
FAX ENABLE T38: yes
FAX T38 Redundancy: 1
FAX TONE DETECT MODE: caller or calee

Other chnages that I know i did…

PREFERRED CODEC: G711u
SILENCE SUPPRESSION ENABLE: no
ECHO CANC ENABLE: no
ECHO CANC ADAPT ENABLE: no
ECHO SUPP ENABLE: no

Then on the asterisk side…

my udptl.conf contains:

udptlstart=4000
udptlend=4999
T38FaxUdpEC = t38UDPRedundancy
T38FaxMaxDatagram = 400
udptlfecentries = 1
udptlfecspan = 3

and then of course in sip.conf i have:

t38pt_udptl = yes

jperry999 · April 14, 2008, 8:23pm

mwatson, thank you for your settings.
I tried that on the spa2102 and it does not seem to work for me yet
(not going thru asterisk, just direct to VOIP-provider).

I am trying to make an outgoing fax call via
spa2102-> VOIP-provider -> PSTN -> POTS fax machine.
It connects to the other fax machine, and when I listen in on another phone on the same line, I hear the obvious fax “conversation” between the two, but at the end it tries lower speeds and gives up. I get a blank piece of paper on the receiving fax machine.

Question:
During the fax call, the spa2102 “Info” tab (when I refresh during the call) shows
Call 1 Encoder: ?
Call 1 Decoder ?
Call 1 FAX: Yes
Is that what yours shows?

Thank you

plindheimer · April 14, 2008, 10:01pm

jperry,
in order to use t38, your provider needs to also support receiving t38. Most don’t. You should confirm that.

mwatson · April 15, 2008, 2:19pm

I’ll second what lindheimer said… does your provider actually support T.38? like he said, most don’t… if you are in the states, I believe gafachi is a fairly popular sip provider that supports T.38.

Something else you might want to do is setup a syslog server… on your SPA2102 there is a place to specify a syslog & debug server (debug is actually syslog too… its just extra info). put your syslog server into both fields and crank the debug level up and see what the SPA is spitting out.

I’m not sure about what the SPA says on the info tab during the call… i’ll try and watch it today.

jperry999 · April 15, 2008, 9:30pm

Yes, I am using Gafachi, and yes they tell me they have broadcast fax customers that use their T.38 service.
Now using the spa2102 syslog feature:

It ties to send the fax at the point of
[1]FM 00039730 Tx T38: d.v29_9600 . . .
then tries lower speeds.

If I had to take a complete wild guess… and I’ll be the first to admit that my knowledge of the SIP protocol is not exactly top notch.

However, I do know enough to know that the way the protocol is designed causes HUGE problems with NAT (kinda like FTP).

seeing all those SIP packets in that log you pasted… I see alot of 192.168.x.x IPs IN the sip packets. I;m wondering if Gafachi is seeing these addresses and thinking that thats the address they should be sending data to for the RTP / T.38 Re-INVITE.

I’;m also seeing in that dump… alot of “no_signals”… on the T.38 lines… this would kind of support my theory of it being a NAT problem… if your ATA is sending a ReINVITE for t.38 and giving it a 192.168.x.x address… this probably isn;t going to work since they obviously can;t connect back to that address.

If you are able to… try plugging the SPA2102 directly into an internet connection with a real IP address and see if it works… if it does you know its a NAT problem…

the SPA has a million settings on it as well for NAT… there is probably also an option in there to set your NAT IP… but then you’ll also need to worry about ports being forwarded from your firewall and stuff… best bet is to try it on a real IP and see how that works first.

@Jperry: I am no expert, but I want to give it a look. Please, just send a full capture (Wireshark .cap file) wich includes:

A complete sip call outbound
A complete sip call inbound
A fax from you to somebody (trying to use t.38)
A fax from somebody to you (trying to use t.38)

You can record these in a single .CAP, or many smaller ones. Be sure you are the only one using your PBX, and therer is not much traffic on your LAN/WAN to reduce the size of the capture.

I’m not sure you can upload attachements here, but feel free to send them trough EMaaill: just remove the BUZZ from the adress below:
relaxeBUZZBUZZ@BUZZgmailBUZZZZ BUzz .com

jperry999 · April 17, 2008, 5:32pm

As a test, from mwatson’s insightful guess about NAT issues,
I changed the SIP tab’s
Substitute VIA Addr, Insert VIA rport, Send Resp To Src Port, to Yes
That made it work for one fax, but not again.
So I set all that back to No, then re-arranged it to go through Asterisk:

I changed things around so now it should be like mwatson’s setup:
I created the udptl.conf as
[general]
udptlstart=4000
udptlend=4999
T38FaxUdpEC = t38UDPRedundancy
T38FaxMaxDatagram = 400
udptlfecentries = 1
udptlfecspan = 3

and in sip_general_custom.conf I put
t38pt_udptl = yes

I then rebooted the computer.
So, now it is going:
spa2102 -> trixbox/FreePBX -> DSL -> Gafachi > POTS-fax

Around trying 7200 the fax machine spits out a blank page,
but I never get a good page.

using a grandstream HT286 with gafachi. i did add ‘t38pt_udptl=yes’ to /etc/asterisk/sip_general_custom.conf. i had to stick with canreinvite=no in the extension and configured the ATA for autodetect. i fired up ethereal on the wan interface while sending a fax and saw the reinvite and the subsequent HDLC packets…

ja133 · April 30, 2008, 2:43am

I dont intend to hijack
Sorry for the really really really really really stupid qestion here
I understand that asterisk 1.2 has no t38 support
I do have some clients who would want to use faxing over asterisk though, but they are still under asterisk 1.2
will adding these lines work or will I just be waisting my time?

Zion800 · June 2, 2008, 5:40pm

Just thought I’d send a friendly reminder/request for that guide

Thanks,

Michael

Zion800 · May 20, 2008, 6:14pm

So has anyone found a definitive guide that says exactly what we should do to get T.38 fax working over Gafachi? Kinda hard to find!

mwatson · May 20, 2008, 7:20pm

if I remember I’ll write one up tonight…

I’ve helped a friend with a gafachi fax account a couple weeks ago. IIRC there is nothing special about doing it for gafachi vs. any other provider (that supports T.38)
