G.711 Fax and Modem Transport Mode

In this mode, when the terminating device detects fax or modem signals (CED or AnsAM), it sends a re-INVITE message to the originating device, requesting it to re-open the channel in G.711 VBD with the following adaptations:

■

Echo Canceller = off

■

Silence Compression = off

■

Echo Canceller Non-Linear Processor Mode = off

■

Dynamic Jitter Buffer Minimum Delay = 40

■

Dynamic Jitter Buffer Optimization Factor = 13

After a few seconds upon detection of fax V.21 preamble or super G3 fax signals, the device sends a second re-INVITE enabling the echo canceller (the echo canceller is disabled only on modem transmission).

A ‘gpmd’ attribute is added to the SDP according to the following format:

■

For G.711 A-law:

a=gpmd:8 vbd=yes;ecan=on (or off for modems)

■

For G.711 µ-law:

a=gpmd:0 vbd=yes;ecan=on (or off for modems)

The following parameters are ignored and automatically set to Events Only:

■

'Fax Transport Mode' [FaxTransportMode]

■

'Vxx ModemTransportType' [VxxModemTransportType]
