Configure the FoIP settings

  1. On the Import Connection page, click Yes for Enable FoIP Server.

    The Configure link appears.

  2. Click Configure.

    The FOIP Settings page appears.

  3. 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.

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

  7. To configure how to switch to T.38 mode during outbound calls. Select one of the following in Outbound T38 Mode:
    1. Start with G.711 audio mode. Switch immediately to T.38 mode (default): This has the best performance and requires the lowest bandwidth.
    2. Send one CNG tone as G.711 audio and then switch to T.38 mode: This option 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.
    3. 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.
  8. To configure how to switch to T.38 mode during inbound calls. Select one of the following in Inbound T38 Mode:
    1. Start with G.711 audio mode. Switch immediately to T.38 mode (default): This has the best performance and requires the lowest bandwidth.
    2. Send one CNG tone as G.711 audio and then switch to T.38 mode: This option 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.
    3. 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.
  9. Click Yes for Enable V3.4 to enable support for V.34 fax (high speed fax) and T.38 version 3, which is a requirement for V.34 operation.
  10. Click Yes for Enable ECM Reception to configure the Entitlement Control Message (ECM) encrypted message to prevent unauthorized reception for services as cable or satellite television.
  11. Select Q.931 Bearer Capability for outgoing calls (0 - Speech, 16 - 3.1 KHz Audio).
  12. Define the Local H.323 Port.
  13. Select the registration type from the Registration Type list.

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

  14. Optionally, enter the Zone ID used for gatekeeper registration as gateway.
  15. Define the Local SIP Port.
  16. Configure the Voice Codecs as follows:

    • Select to enable a particular codec.

    • Select one of the supported codecs.

    • Select maximum time between data packets.

  17. Click OK.
