21、and Configuration Tests have previously been successfully performed and completed. The following test suites for Fax service with T.38 support are included in this section: G.711 Pass-Thru Mode without Re-Negotiation G.711 Fall Back (originating media gateway does not support T.38) G.711 Fall Back (

22、from non-G.711 session) T.38 Fax Mode The description, purpose, service parameters, and references are the same for each of these tests. Description: Fax calls can be supported at the NNI via circuit emulation using G.711 pass-thru or T.38 packet transmission mode. In G.711 pass-thru mode, during a

23、fax call, an audio channel is established between the originating and terminating T.30 fax devices. The fax-tones originated from a T.30 fax device are encoded using in G.711 format and the G.711 traffic is sent across the NNI to the receiving T.30 fax device terminal. In T.38 mode, a T.38 capable f

24、ax device terminal is used to encode the fax tones into T.38 format and send the T.38 traffic across the NNI to the receiving fax device terminal, which in turn decodes the T.38 traffic format to fax tones. Signaling and fax tone exchange faults may occur during set-up (fax discrimination, transitio

25、n, capabilities negotiation). Faults during the call-phase (transmission) may affect image transmission quality due to packet loss, delay, and jitter. Gateways and customer equipment during set-up impact fax set-up success. Gateway-to-gateway tests under varying configurations for signaling and medi

26、a is ATIS-1000041 18 warranted. However, it is not feasible to test CPE terminal and gateway incompatibility and deficiencies at the NNI. Purpose: To verify the use of T.38 protocol to transport fax and the use of G.711 flow through as a fallback method. Configuration Note for Fax Endpoint: 1. The u

27、se of Echo Cancellers by the gateways when switching from an audio to a fax session can impact the set-up phase and fax image transmission and it should be turned off. 2. The use of Voice Activity Detection (VAD) features needs to be deactivated by the gateways during the fax session. Notes for T.38

28、 Fax Mode: The use of TCP and UDP to transport T.38 packets between T.38 capable gateways, servers, and devices are specified in the ITU-T T.38 recommendation. SIP is used to set up and negotiate the use of T.38 for fax transmission across the NNI. A SIP re-INVITE will close the audio channel and th

29、e gateway will switch to fax-to-relay (T.38) upon detection of a fax event, or for unsuccessful fax relay negotiation, fallback to pass-through with up-speed to G.711. An integrated access device (IAD) fax could setup a call offering only a T.38 fax relay. 1. To minimize signaling failures, the corr

30、ect SIP ReINVITE message offering the generic SDP offer for G.711 codec is needed to switch from audio to G.711 up-speed for fax tone transmission. 2. Voice Activity Detection (VAD) needs to be deactivated by the MGC for successful set-up. 3. The T.38 fax “no signal detected” failure may be caused w

31、hen no fax tone (V.21 preamble?) is detected (which are optional for T.38, but required for T.30 fax) but not always supported by all fax machines. The use of called-tone prior to the T.38 ReINVITE to ensure tone detection as required by the T.30 protocol may reduce signaling failure and should be t
