<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"> We have recently transitioned to Rigthfax SR-140 Virtual server from physical board server and we are having trouble when receiving faxes from what appear to only be other fax servers. We see consistent
failures from the fax server sending side, but when having the the sender try from a real fax machine, the fax goes through no problem. Packet captures do not indicate any failure to switchover to t.38, but we will see an RTN message but the call still completes.
The RF will still mark the fax as transmission error. sometimes the Fax image shows black , but mostly will be acceptable. Our VoIP network is very stable and we run several internal faxes(on VG224s/vg350's) to and from the rightfax server with no issues.
setup is as following. i can post more config is someone is able to help out. I have a case open with Cisco TAC, but they are taking their time to respond.
