Hi Giovanni. The scenario is an outgoing fax transmission: FreeSWITCH is the transmitting *fax server*. I issue "api originate" command to create the call. These are the t38/g711 relevant settings: [DEBUG] switch_event.c:1688 Parsing variable [fax_use_ecm]=[off] [DEBUG] switch_event.c:1688 Parsing variable [absolute_codec_string]=[PCMA@10i] [DEBUG] switch_event.c:1688 Parsing variable [fax_enable_t38]=[false] [DEBUG] switch_event.c:1688 Parsing variable [fax_enable_t38_request]=[false] [DEBUG] switch_event.c:1688 Parsing variable [refuse_t38]=[true] ... and on the external profile t38-passthru is set to false. When calling some recipients, i get from the remote party (a voip provider) a reINVITE with sdp containing a double media (a "m=g711a" and a "m=T38"). At the present FreeSWITCH answers with a "488 not acceptable here". And the voip provider hangs up. *What i want to achieve* is FreeSWITCH to accept the g711a media and deny the T38 media (putting t38 port=0? deleting the t38 media from the sdp answer? i don't know exactly). I haven't been able, so far, to find the parameters to pass to the api originate (or parameters to set on the external profile) to get that kind of behaviour. I hope I have been more clear this time :-) Thanks for your patience. SB Il giorno gio 30 mag 2019 alle ore 01:51 Giovanni Maruzzelli < gmaruzz@gmail.com> ha scritto:

I am just wondering if it's possible to configure FS to accept the G711 media and "turn off" the T38 media that have been received in the same sdp (refer to reinvite in the unsuccessful case). That would be really helpful for me but i wasnt able to get that kind of behaviour. Am I missing something?
Maybe I do not understand what you want to achieve. If you do not act on T38, then also if you are offered it, you will not take it in consideration, and just process the call as a call without T38
If you are "proxying" T38 (eg inbound T38 outbound plain g711), then there are specific settings for it

Hello Sandro,
so, they want you to send out faxes with T30 in g711? That will be *very* unreliable, you *want* to use T38.
Anyway, you want to use PCMA with normal packet size (eg, not 10 ms). You just specify PCMA as absolute_codec string.
You do not have to refuse explicitly the call (no 488), you just do not accept t38 fax transmission.
So, disable t38 everywhere, and do the fax over g711 (eg, over pcma).
That will be very unreliable. T38 has been created to solve that unreliability.
If you happen to find a FreeSWITCH book, there is a chapter about faxes.
Hope this help, -giovanni

Hello everyone.
I am have a few FS installations interconnected with a voip provider; during outbound fax server transmissions, they told us that we need *to refuse T38 even if offered by the network*. The sdp offer/answer negotiation varies depending on the called number, probably due to a different routing in the voip provider's network. I experience some dropped calls (even before the fax transmission kicks in) using both FS versions 1.4.9 and 1.6.16.
This is a successful sdp negotiation (after call is estabilished) First reinvite: REMOTE INVITE with SDP: v=0..o=LucentPCSF 413445855 413445856 IN IP4 10.198.1.230..s=-..c=IN IP4 10.198.1.230..t=0 0..m=audio 15756 RTP/AVP 8 96 4..a=rtpmap:96 telephone-event/8000..a=fmtp:96 0-15..a=ptime:20..a=X-sqn: 0..a=X-cap: 1 image udptl t38..

Then, a second reinvite happens: REMOTE INVITE with SDP: v=0..o=LucentPCSF 413445855 413445857 IN IP4 10.198.1.230..s=-..c=IN IP4 10.198.1.230..t=0 0..m=audio 0 RTP/AVP 0..c=IN IP4 10.198.1.230..m=image 12834 udptl t38..a=X-sqn: 0..a=X-cap: 1 image udptl t38..

And the fax is transmitted correctly
This is an unsuccessful sdp negotiation: First reinvite REMOTE INVITE with SDP: v=0..o=LucentPCSF 579041281 579041282 IN IP4 10.198.1.230..s=-..c=IN IP4 10.198.1.230..t=0 0..m=audio 13302 RTP/AVP 8 96..a=rtpmap:96 telephone-event/8000..a=ptime:10..a=ecan:fb on -..a=Fax..m=image 17522 udptl t38..a=T38FaxVersion:0..a=T38MaxBitRate:14400..a=T38FaxRateManagement:transferredTCF..a=T38FaxMaxBuffer:1800..a=T38FaxMaxDatagram:260..a=T38FaxUdpEC:t38UDPRedundancy..a=ecan:fb on -.. LOCAL 488 and the remote hangs up.
My point is that, in case of unsuccessful negotiation, FS receives a reinvite with two "m=" in the sdp, one G711A (port 13302) and one T38 (port 17522). Is it ok for FS to refuse "all the sdp" with 488 just because it has to refuse T38 or it should be configured to refuse only the T38 media? Should remote endpoint send another reinvite with only G711 or only T38 before hanging up?
Thanks in advance to whoever read till here :-) Any hints?

P.s.: This is what i get in the log in the unsuccessful case during the reinvite (1.4.9 code): [...] 2019-05-17 11:22:57.498389 [DEBUG] switch_core_media.c:3476 Audio Codec Compare [PCMA:8:8000:10:64000:1]/[PCMA:8:8000:10:64000:1] 2019-05-17 11:22:57.498389 [DEBUG] switch_core_media.c:3531 Audio Codec Compare [PCMA:8:8000:10:64000:1] ++++ is saved as a match 2019-05-17 11:22:57.498389 [DEBUG] switch_core_media.c:3397 Set telephone-event payload to 96 2019-05-17 11:22:57.498389 [DEBUG] switch_core_media.c:3713 Set 2833 dtmf send payload to 96 2019-05-17 11:22:57.498389 [ERR] sofia.c:7065 Reinvite Codec Error! 2019-05-17 11:22:57.498389 [DEBUG] switch_core_session.c:1053 Send signal sofia/external/<calledfaxnumber> [BREAK] 2019-05-17 11:22:57.498389 [DEBUG] switch_core_session.c:1053 Send signal sofia/external/<calledfaxnumber> [BREAK] 2019-05-17 11:22:57.498389 [DEBUG] switch_core_media.c:2280 Already using PCMA 2019-05-17 11:22:57.498389 [DEBUG] sofia.c:6444 Channel sofia/external/<calledfaxnumber> entering state [ready][488] 2019-05-17 11:22:57.638443 [DEBUG] switch_core_session.c:1053 Send signal sofia/external/<calledfaxnumber> [BREAK] 2019-05-17 11:22:57.638443 [NOTICE] sofia.c:952 Hangup sofia/external/<calledfaxnumber> [CS_EXECUTE] [NORMAL_CLEARING] 2019-05-17 11:22:57.638443 [DEBUG] switch_channel.c:3222 Send signal sofia/external/<calledfaxnumber> [KILL] 2019-05-17 11:22:57.638443 [DEBUG] switch_core_session.c:1388 Send signal sofia/external/<calledfaxnumber> [BREAK] 2019-05-17 11:22:57.638443 [DEBUG] mod_spandsp_fax.c:293 FLOW T.30 Status changing to 'The call dropped prematurely'
