Chapter7 Configuring and Debugging Fax Services
Using Fax Pass-through Mode
Note The Cisco ATA can also accept standard-based protocol-level codec switch requests, but cannot send
such requests. Therefore, to interoperate with a Cisco gateway, use the Cisco-proprietary codec switch.
This section contains the following topics:
•Configuring the Cisco ATA for Fax Pass-through mode, page 7-2
•Configuring Cisco IOS Gateways to Enable Fax Pass-through, page 7-3
Configuring the Cisco ATA for Fax Pass-through mode
Fax Pass-through mode requires configuring two configuration parameters:
AudioMode, page 7-2
ConnectMode, page 7-3

AudioMode

Description
The AudioMode parameter is a 32-bit value. The lower 16 bits apply to the Phone 1 port of the
Cisco ATA and the upper 16 bits apply to the Phone 2 port of the Cisco ATA.
Example
The following is an example of configuring the Phone 1 port of the CiscoATA for fax pass-through
mode:
0xXXXX0015
Translation
This setting translates to the following bitmap:
xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx 0000 0000 0001 0101
•Bit 0 = 1—Enables G.711 silence suppression (VAD)
•Bit 2 = 1—Enables Fax CED tone detection and switchover upon detection
•Bit 4 = 1, Bit 5 = 0—DTMF transmission method = out-of-band through negotiation
•Bit 6 = Bit 7 = 0—Hookflash transmission method = disable sending out h ookflash
Note The values XXXX in the example apply to the Phone 2 port of the Cisco ATA.
To configure the same value for the Phone 2 port of the CiscoATA, the value would be 0x0015XXXX.
The configuration of one port is independent from the configur ation of the other port.
