[VoiceOps] Problems with T.38 fax with Grandstream GXW-4248

[Greg Lipschitz]

Have you tried the opposite, disable T.38 and use G711a/u for the payload.

We have had far greater success with the G711a/u RTP. T.38 still seems to be very hit and miss cross devices be it ATA or even a real fax machine.

Cheers
Greg

Subject: [VoiceOps] Problems with T.38 fax with Grandstream GXW-4248

We have a customer with multiple Grandstream GXW-4248 voice gateways
that wants to use T.38 for sending and receiving faxes. They are running
the most recent release (1.0.5.16). We have tested this successfully
with other devices, including a Grandstream HT-702 and a Grandstream
GXW-4004, but when configuring the Grandstream GXW-4248 the same way,
the audio from the Grandstream to the fax machine cuts out at the
renegotiation to T.38 and does not resume. When looking at a packet
capture of the fax call, the Re-INVITE appears successful, but the first
and only UDPTL packet sent by the Grandstream is reported as malformed
by Wireshark:

ITU-T Recommendation T.38

         [Stream frame: 510]

         [Malformed Packet (Exception occurred)]

Does anyone have any experience with trying to use T.38 with a
Grandstream GXW-4248?

Thanks,
