Fax issues on VG224

[George Thomas]

I have two fax machines that are connected to a VG224 and both those are having intermittent issues. Incoming fax fails on the remote end and an error is generated but at the remote end but for outgoing fax, no errors are generated. The only way to check if the fax was sent successfully is by calling the customer and asking if the fax was received. Please help.

What do these commands do:

network-clock-participate wic 0

network-clock-select 1 T1 0/0/0

I had the same problem at our campus, over 30 faxes. We turned OFF the error handling on the TX & RX on the fax. Also chechk the baud rate, we found it worked better at 9600 baud. We 1st found this problem when using ATAs.

Good Luck

richard: It's due to the ATA's primarily being for voice and not for faxese.

Had similar prob - faxes would work internally but not from external. Main gateway is a 3825 with fax machines hanging off VG224. Turns out that on the 3825 I had set mgcp bind to a loopback rather than to a routable interface. Interface g0/1 was on same VLAN that VG224s were on.

ON 3825:
