Fax / Modem Transport Mode - AudioCodes Mediant 1000 User Manual

14.2.2.1.3 Fax over IP using T.38 Transmission over RTP
The device supports Fax-over-IP (FoIP) transmission using T.38 over RTP, whereby the
T.38 payload is encapsulated in the RTP packet, instead of being sent in dedicated T.38
packets (out-of-band). To configure this support, set the coder type to T.38 Over RTP.
To indicate T.38 over RTP, the SDP body uses "udptl" (Facsimile UDP Transport Layer) in
the 'a=ftmp' line. The device supports T.38 over RTP according to this standard as well as
according to AudioCodes proprietary method:

Call Parties belong to AudioCodes Devices: AudioCodes proprietary T.38-over-
RTP method is used, whereby the device encapsulates the entire T.38 packet
(payload with all its headers) in the sent RTP. For T.38 over RTP, AudioCodes
devices use the proprietary identifier "AcUdptl" in the 'a=ftmp' line of the SDP. For
example:


AudioCodes Call Party with non-AudioCodes Party: The device uses the standard
T.38-over-RTP method, which encapsulates the T.38 payload only, without its headers
(i.e., includes only fax data) in the sent RTP packet (RFC 4612).
The T.38-over-RTP method also depends on call initiator:

Device initiates a call: The device always sends the SDP offer with the proprietary
token "AcUdpTl" in the 'fmtp' attribute. If the SDP answer includes the same token, the
device employs AudioCodes proprietary T.38-over-RTP mode; otherwise, the
standard mode is used.

Device answers a call: If the SDP offer from the remote party contains the 'fmtp'
attribute with "AcUdpTl", the device answers with the same attribute and employs
AudioCodes proprietary T.38-over-RTP mode; otherwise, the standard mode is used.
Note: If both T.38 (regular) and T.38 Over RTP coders are negotiated between the
call parties, the device uses T.38 Over RTP.
14.2.2.2 G.711 Fax / 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:
