20.2.2.4. Parameter “USE Previous Media Negotiation” has to be set Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

If an interworking between MTX4104 connected to SoftGate and MTX4104 connected to CGW takes place the parameter “USE Previous Media Negotiation” has to be enabled in the MTX.

In the Scenario above T.38 is disabled in the MTX 10.80.212.188. Therefore DMC is allowed. In all other components T.38 is enabled.
Assumed the parameter “USE Previous Media Negotiation” is not set: First a DMC is established between the both MTX41xx adapters. After recognizing that a fax is connected the MTX 10.80.212.190 sends a T.38 re-invite, which will be rejected with “488 Not Acceptable” here by the vHG3500 10.80.212.234. The reason is that it is not possible to make a renegotiation of features in a DMC interworking scenario on the CGW. After the reject of T.38 a G.711 re-invite is sent by Mediatrix. Also this re-invite is rejected due to the reason mentioned above. After the second reject the MTX41xx drops the call.
If the parameter “USE Previous Media Negotiation” is set, the MTX41xx continues with G.711 after receiving the “488 Not Acceptable” for T.38 re-invite and the fax transmission works.
