Panasonic KX-TM131 and as5300 fax trouble

[jalsovszky]

Hello!

I tryed to send fax with T.38 through an as5300 gateway - IOS 12.2(5). The called fax equipment was a Panasonic KX-TM131 fax machine. I wasn't able to send fax - I tryed many-many times.

In Cisco I got:

2w0d: 0:D (20085) 38006550 fr-msg-tx DCN

On the sender's side I saw, that I didn't get AT+FRH=3 modem command - timeouted. The Cisco gateway DIDN'T send back anything to the sender while it had to. While the sender didn't get back response to FRH=3 (I think in 3 seconds) the line was dropped.

The same situation is time to time - the problem is reproducable. I did also packet sniff for T38 protocol and I saw, that no T38 response packet came from Cisco gateway.

I also tryed to send to the same fax machine with T.37 protocol. With T37 it worked fine:

From this I think, the problem is with T.38 part (not with T.30).

I also tryed to send through an as5350 - IOS 12.2(15)T9 - with T.38 and got the same.

Could anybody help me?

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

Looks like a clock mismatch issue. Try configuring the command "clock source internal" on the gateways on both the ends.

I didn't expected much from changing 'clock source' because problems are ONLY with that destination/fax machine. All of the other destionations are good (I didn't hit a similar situation).

Even so I tryed to change the clock source. Unfortunately it didn't help.

My configuration was:

controller E1 0

clock source internal

pri-group timeslots 1-31

!

interface Serial0:15

no ip address

isdn switch-type primary-net5

isdn incoming-voice modem

isdn map address .* plan isdn type unknown

isdn T309-enable

isdn T321 40000

isdn T310 20000

isdn sending-complete

no fair-queue

As I wrote, this configuration works well, just in this one case I have problems (maybe there are more cases just didn't sent enough faxes to find out).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
