T.38 Fax Gateway Configuration
ScopTEL Asterisk 11 T.38 Fax Gateway
• Source: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/T.38+Fax+Gateway
Full T.38 Capabilities
Initial support for handling of T.38 sessions was merged into the Asterisk 1.4 codebase. Inside of Asterisk
1.4, it is possible to perform what is referred to as T.38 passthrough. T.38 Passthrough allows Asterisk to
carry T.38 UDPTL from one T.38-speaking endpoint to another T.38-speaking endpoint. Asterisk does not
modify the media. Asterisk 1.6, in addition to its T.38 passthrough capabilities, introduced T.38 termination
support, such that T.38 fax sessions could be initiated from locally stored TIFF files (SendFax) or that T.38
fax sessions could be terminated into locally stored TIFF files (ReceiveFax). The basic faxing capabilities
of Asterisk 1.8 remained the same as 1.6.
The limitation of these versions of Asterisk is that while 1.6 - 1.8 are fully capable of passing through or
terminating T.38 sessions, there is no capability for T.38 gateway. Older versions of Asterisk cannot directly
pass a fax from the PSTN or a non-T.38 endpoint to a T.38 endpoint. Instead, older versions of Asterisk
require that two separate calls be established - e.g. one to receive the Fax into a TIFF file (ReceiveFax),
and an entirely separate call to send the Fax from a TIFF file to a fax machine (SendFax), or vice versa.
ScopTEL Asterisk 11 overcomes this limitation and provides full T.38 Fax Gateway support. T.38
Gateway provides a number of advantages over the older, two-step store-and-forward method
(generally referred to as T.37). Advantages include: end-to-end confirmation of receipt (with two
separate calls the callee doesn't necessarily know the caller was trying to send them a fax),
reduced time to fax (not receiving and then sending separately cuts the time in half), and increased
reliability (no concerns about the reliability of local file storage or the TIFF interpreters).
