Faxing with SIP

[CARLO CALABRESE]

I have a remote BCM running SIP connected via CUCM 6.1 to a SIP gateway. My Problem is that I have the trunk built for the BCM with a codec of G729. On the Gateway, I have fax protocol cisco.

This works great when I get a fax from the gateway to the BCM, but when I try to fax out, it fails. The Fax Machine is trying to connect via G711 but my Region code says G729. I see it try to connect via G711 but fails.

We had to set our Rightfax server to a new region that forced it to be G711.

Good luck.
