Using Fax Pass-through Mode

Note For detailed information on setting up your IOS gateways and on feature availability, refer to the document Cisco Fax Services over IP.

Enable Fax Pass-through Mode

The supporting Cisco gateway can enable fax pass-through mode using system-level or dial-peer-level commands.

System Level commands

Enable the fax pass-through feature using the following system-level commands:

Procedure

Step 1 Run the following command:

voice service voip

Step 2 Run the following command:

modem passthrough NSE [payload-type number] codec {g711µ/law g711alaw} [redundancy] [maximum-sessions value]

The definitions of the command parameters are as follows:

The payload-typeparameter default is 100. Valid values are from 98 to 119.

The NSE payload number must be the same on both the Cisco ATA and the Cisco gateway.

The codec parameter must be G.711µ−law for faxes sent over a T1 trunk or G.711A-law for faxes sent over an E1 trunk.

The redundancy parameter enables RFC 2198 packet redundancy. It is disabled by default.

The maximum sessions parameter defines the number of simultaneous fax pass-through calls with redundancy. The default is 16. Valid values are 1 to 26.

Step 3 Turn off bits 14 and 15 of the Cisco ATA ConnectMode parameter. This enables the sending of fax pass-through signals and the detection of incoming fax pass-through signals using the Cisco proprietary method.

Note The NSE payload-type number, fax pass-through codec (G.71-law or G.711A-law) and redundancy parameters must have the same settings for the Cisco ATA that they have for supporting Cisco gateways.

ATA 188, ATA 186 specifications

The Cisco Systems ATA 186, or Analog Telephone Adapter, revolutionized the way traditional telephony interacted with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems. Designed primarily for home and small office use, the ATA 186 allows users to connect standard analog phones and fax machines to a network, enabling them to take advantage of the benefits of VoIP technology.

One of the defining features of the ATA 186 is its dual port architecture. It includes two FXS ports, allowing users to connect up to two analog telephones. This functionality means that multiple devices can leverage VoIP services simultaneously without the need for separate adapters for each phone. The flexibility of the ATA 186 helps streamline the user experience, facilitating voice communication over an IP network while ensuring users can still use their existing phone equipment.

The ATA 186 employs various technologies to maintain high-quality voice calls. It supports standard voice codecs such as G.711 and G.729, which ensure efficient bandwidth usage while preserving call clarity. The adaptive jitter buffer technology further enhances call quality, compensating for network variations and minimizing latency, which is crucial for clear and uninterrupted conversations.

Additionally, the ATA 186 provides users with advanced calling features that were traditionally available only on PBX systems. These features include caller ID, call waiting, and voicemail functionality, integrating seamlessly with typical telephony services. The device also supports T.38 fax relay, allowing users to send and receive faxes over the internet, thus addressing the needs of environments where fax communication remains essential.

The security of VoIP conversations is also a priority for the ATA 186. It employs encryption protocols such as Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) and Transport Layer Security (TLS), ensuring that voice data is securely transmitted across the network. This focus on security helps protect sensitive information transmitted during calls.

Installation and configuration of the ATA 186 is streamlined, with an intuitive web-based interface that simplifies the setup process. This accessibility makes it suitable for users with varying levels of technical expertise, as frequently required adjustments, such as network configurations and firmware updates, can be easily managed.

In conclusion, the Cisco Systems ATA 186 stands out as a versatile and robust solution for users looking to integrate analog phones into a VoIP environment. With its dual port capabilities, high-quality voice codecs, advanced call features, and security measures, it offers a compelling choice for both residential and commercial users seeking seamless telephony integration. As technology evolves, devices like the ATA 186 remain cornerstones in bridging traditional telephony with modern communication systems.
