Definately - there are additional changes required on the FAX machines themselves. Thanks for the reminder, I think we all forgot to add this.
Also, there are changes required on your gateways to configure passthrough as well.
Best thing would be to open a TAC case with all your gateway types and tell them you're having trouble with FAX/MODEM passthrough. They'll send you the right config commands.

RE: [cisco-voip] VG224 issue
I had similar issues with our VG224 to begin with like only receiving 1 page,
not connecting to other fax machines, errors in trans/recv of fax.
I had to do the following:
run as pass through on VG224s
disable ECM on all fax machines
disable Super G3 on all fax machines
Set trans/recv. rates to 14.4 or 9600
On remote sites, make sure that they are using G711.
Since I made these changes, we have not had any issues with our fax machines.
We run in MGCP mode...no problems.
Hope that helps.
John

If you can do it change to pass through, I have had massive issues with Rely and wherever I can I use passthrough and no issues

These two documents should give you plenty of information on how to configure the FXS ports to be controlled via Skinny.

All of our VG224s are MGCP and we have been experiencing a lot of fax pain lately ourselves. When we talked to TAC they told us that MGCP or SCCP makes no difference and that we should change all of our fax machines to not use Super G and to reduce the speed of the fax machines. In a company of our size this is just not going to work.
I am considering changing to SCCP to give it a try. Could someone share a sanitized SCCP config for a VG224 and what advantages they think there are to using SCCP as opposed to MGCP? Other than it works better :) I am going to have to give a couple of technical reasons.
Thanks
Steve

I third that opinion. I use SCCP and it was very easy to setup. I think SCCP debugs are also more helpful (I could be wrong there).
That being said, we are using modem/fax passthrough and have downgraded our FAXes to 14.4/ECC off.

Oh, wow, it is MGCP... I didn't even see that...
Yeah, ditto, go with SCCP.
