asterisk users - Jul 2013 - Fwd: Re: Asterisk T.38 Pass-Through doesn't work

Hi!

I have exactly the same problem on asterisk 1.8.22.0  and also on separate
11.2.1 when sending fax to PSTN.
Tryed with spa-3102, spa-2102, Patton Smartnode 4634, and Zoiper softphone.
SpanDsp also works without any problem on my box.

As I remember it was a bug in 1.8.1.x that the a=T38MaxBitRate paramater
was sent as "maxBitRate". Without capital "M".

Are you closer to the solution?
I have tryed almost anything and I don't understand why sends the
T38MaxBitRate:2400 parameter.

regards,

Blaxy

Could it be because the remote endpoint does not supply the 
T38MaxBitRate attribute in its reply which then leads to Asterisk 
applying the Minimum Rate to your ATA!?

I am referring to the information around lines 403 & 404 of 
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5701207.

Do you know what the Fax Rate was for the connection in 
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5701150.

What happens if you insert in your dialplan something like

Set(FAXOPT(minrate)=4800)

Cheers,

Larry.

The a=T38MaxBitRate issue you refer to was one that was actually 
discovered at my company and submitted by a colleague. It was fixed in 
11.3.0 and 1.8.21.0. However, I think that it wouldn't help based on the 
description below being that the parameter was missing altogether. I think 
if that parameter is missing, then the code would in fact default to 2400 
as a safe value.
