On-ramp faxes corrupt, TIFFs incomplete/scrambled

Hello Team,

i cannot receive onramp-faxes properly anymore.
They are corrupt, after the half page the sent TIFFs are just rubbish/unreadable/incomplete.
Looks like i had sort of timing/clocking-problem, had this before with PSTN->FXS-connections and attached faxes, but...i did all i did there to solve this problem.
I have set the clocking options as seen below, usually solved these problems. Not in this case.

BTW i have no timeslips or anything like that:
voip-rt-2#sh controllers e1
E1 0/0/0 is up.
  Applique type is Channelized E1 - balanced
  No alarms detected.
  alarm-trigger is not set
  Version info FPGA Rev: 08121917, FPGA Type: PRK1
  Framing is CRC4, Line Code is HDB3, Clock Source is Line.
  International Bit: 1, National Bits: 11111
  Data in current interval (846 seconds elapsed):
     0 Line Code Violations, 0 Path Code Violations
     0 Slip Secs, 0 Fr Loss Secs, 0 Line Err Secs, 0 Degraded Mins
     0 Errored Secs, 0 Bursty Err Secs, 0 Severely Err Secs, 0 Unavail Secs
  Total Data (last 24 hours)
     0 Line Code Violations, 0 Path Code Violations,
     0 Slip Secs, 0 Fr Loss Secs, 0 Line Err Secs, 0 Degraded Mins,
     0 Errored Secs, 0 Bursty Err Secs, 0 Severely Err Secs, 0 Unavail Secs

My configuration as below worked wonderful on our former voice router, an 2811 with three BRI-interfaces.
We have moved our PSTN-connection to our new 2921 with an E1 controller. Also the configuration regarding onramp-faxes.

Any helpful input on this problem would be appreciated, since users complain about it, everybody liked this feature before.
Otherwise we would have to implement another faxsolution...the onramp-solution before (as long as it worked!) completely fitted our needs.

And i really want to stay with the former solution. On the new gateway, for sure.

Many thanks in advance,
Andreas

Try modifying the image encoding. I had TIFF files coming through with some of the content distorted or squashed together.. I found changing to the Modified Huffman (MH) image encoding sorted everything for me.

Make this change under the MMOIP Dial-Peer

"image encoding mh"

Other options are

Modified Modified Read (mmh)
Modified Read (mr)
Passthrough

 

Thanks

Ben

Nobody having a similar issue in the mentioned environment...or ideas?

...or is nobody using this feature? I considered it as quite handy...

Many thanks, Ben, this seemed to solve the problem here too.

No idea why i had no problem with this on the old gateway, but...i´m finished with trying to understand everything in IT meanwhile ;)
