Cisco Systems ATA187I1ARF Manual Do Utilizador

The ATA 187 provides two modes of fax services that are capable of internetworking with Cisco IOS 
gateways over IP networks. These modes are called fax pass-through mode and T.38 fax relay mode.

With fax pass-through mode, the ATA 187 encodes fax traffic within the G.711 voice codec and passes 
it through the Voice Over IP (VoIP) network as though the fax were a voice call.

With T.38 fax relay mode, the ATA 187 supports the transmission of faxes, in real time, between two 
standard fax terminals communicating over SIP networks. T.38 fax relay mode provides a more reliable 
and error-free method of sending faxes over an IP network

You can choose the preferred fax mode on the phone configuration page of the Unified CM 
administration page. From the fax mode pull-down window, choose one of the following modes:

Fax pass-through

T.38 fax relay

You can set the Fax Error correction mode override values. From the fax mode pull-down window, 
choose one of the following modes:

On

Off

Default

You can also set the maximum fax rate values from the phone configuration menu by choosing one of 
the values on the pull-down window.

When the fax mode is T.38 fax relay, Message Transfer Part (MTP) cannot be enabled.

V.34 is supported for modem only, not for fax.
