Hi, We have recently installed a Cisco 2811 at our customer site where we are providing SIP services. This GW connects to the customer's Nortel PBX via an E1 and also to PSTN via an E1, it also connects to the SIP provider via IP. We want to route all the calls including fax to the SIP provider.
Though the VOIP calls are working fine but the incoming and outgoing fax don't work, below is the config for fax passthrough that we want to use. I have also attached the debug output of the fax call but I am struggling to interpret it.
voice service voip
fax protocol pass-through g711ulaw
Outgoing Dial-peer
dial-peer voice 107 voip
description "Voip out to SIP Provider"
translation-profile outgoing SIP-Outbound
destination-pattern [4,6,8,9].......
voice-class codec 1
session protocol sipv2
session target dns:sip.xxxx.com
dtmf-relay rtp-nte
no vad
Incoming Dial-peer
dial-peer voice 109 pots
description "Voice in from PSTN"
incoming called-number .
direct-inward-dial
port 0/1/0:15
Thanks for your help.

It looks like you're switching over to passthrough.
Couple of other things to check:
make sure network-clock-select 1 E1 0/0/0 is on the router connected to the PSTN/PBX. Slips with 'show controller t1/e1' will kill a fax.
Check for packet loss with 'show call active voice brief' in the lost:0/0/0 field correlating with the IP address and originating and terminating caller ID for the call.

Thanks for your help. I have the following configuration: I have also changed the fax passthrough to Modem passthrough since the terminating GW is also Cisco.

E1 0/0/0 connects to the PBX

E1 0/0/0 is up.

It looks like a clocking issue with the PBX. Maybe it is also set to internal/master, but the slips and LCV/PCV are going to mess up your faxes.

Hi, The PBX is set to user or to get it's clocking from the Cisco GW as per the Nortel engineer. I was going to change the fax protocol to T38 but the SIP provider doesn't support T38. So I am really not sure what to do.

If you have slips on your T1 your fax protocol won't matter. You may have hardware or wiring problems between the routers.
