FOIP server settings

  1. In the New import connection dialog box, select Enable FOIP server. (Default: Clear)
  2. Click Configure.

    The FOIP settings dialog box is displayed.

  3. Configure the following Network settings:
    1. Enter the Own fax number, the Called Station Identification (CSI) for incoming fax calls.

      The CSI can contain only digits, the plus symbol character (+), and blanks. This value is displayed on the fax machine that sends fax messages to Message Connector.

    2. Specify which Local IP address to use for FoIP. If you leave this parameter empty, all available networks are used.
    3. Specify the Ports lower limit range for voice/T.38 media data (must be greater than 1023).
    4. To specify the quality of service value, select Enable QoS.

      Quality of Service (QoS) is an industry-wide set of standards and mechanisms for ensuring high-quality performance for critical applications. It is a prioritized or guaranteed level of service for a particular network user or application (e.g. VoIP or FoIP). The goal of QoS is to provide preferential delivery service for the applications that need it by ensuring sufficient bandwidth, controlling latency and jitter, and reducing data loss.

      • QoS for signaling: Specify the Quality of Service value for signaling packets (H.323/SIP).

      • QoS for T.38: Specify the Quality of Service value for T.38 packets. (T.38 is the real-time FAX over IP protocol which works like traditional FAXing.)

  4. Configure the following Fax settings:
    1. To configure how to switch to T.38 mode during outbound calls, select an Outbound T38 mode. Available modes are:

      • Start with G.711 audio mode. Switch immediately to T.38 mode: (default): This mode has the best performance and requires the lowest bandwidth.

      • Send one CNG tone as G.711 audio and then switch to T.38 mode: This mode improves interoperability in case of manual call transfer to or from FoIP. For test calls, this mode is better than switching directly to T.38 mode.

      • Repeat sending CNG tone as G.711 audio until Gateway switches to T.38 mode: This mode woks only if the gateway initiates a switch to T.38 after it detects a fax signal.

    2. To configure how to switch to T.38 mode during inbound calls, select an Inbound T38 mode. Available modes are:

      • Start with G.711 audio mode. switch immediately to T.38 mode (default): This mode has the best performance and requires the lowest bandwidth.

      • Send one CNG tone as G.711 audio and then switch to T.38 mode: This mode improves interoperability in case of manual call transfer to or from FoIP. For test calls, this mode is better than switching directly to T.38 mode.

      • Repeat sending CNG tone as G.711 audio until Gateway switches to T.38 mode: This mode works only if the gateway initiates a switch to T.38 after it detects a fax signal.

    3. To enable support for V.34 fax (high speed fax) and T.38 version 3, which is a requirement for V.34 operation, select Enable V3.4.
    4. To configure the Entitlement Control Message (ECM) encrypted message to prevent unauthorized reception for services as cable or satellite television, select Enable ECM reception.
    5. Select Q.931 Bearer capability for outgoing calls (0 - Speech, 16 - 3.1 KHz Audio). (Default: 3.1 KHZ Audio)
  5. Configure the following H.323 Signaling settings.
    1. Enter the Local H.323 port number.
    2. Select the Registration type as Gateway or Terminal (default).

      It is a type of gatekeeper registration (terminal/gateway) where the type gateway is required if you want to support multiple inbound numbers.

    3. Optional. Enter the Zone ID used for gatekeeper registration as gateway.
  6. For SIP Signalling, enter the Local SIP port number.
  7. By default, the supported Voice Codecs are enabled with a Max packet interval (default: 20 mins).

    You can change the maximum time between data packets for a codec by selecting a different interval on the Max packet interval list. Use and on the header to change the order of the codecs.

    To disable a specific codec, do the following:

    1. On the Codec list, select a codec, such as G.711 A- Law.
    2. Clear the Enabled check box for the Codec.
  8. Click Save.
