OpenScape 4000 allows using T.38, also on the master channel. The following figures show some supported scenarios:

Scenario 1: OpenScape 4000 SoftGate - OpenScape 4000 host system

Figure 431. OpenScape 4000 SoftGate - OpenScape 4000 host system

This scenario shows a typical fax call from a small site with OpenScape 4000 SoftGate at the main site. Usually the connection will be established as a voice call. After tone detection, a switchover to T.38 will be initiated.

Scenario 2: Fax between SMP enabled endpoints

Figure 432. Fax between SMP enabled endpoints

t38fax_scenario_02-2.jpg
This scenario shows a fax call between SMP (SIP Message Proxy) enabled endpoints. The media negotiation is performed end to end, i.e. the OpenScape 4000 SoftGate is not involved in media handling.

Scenario 3: Media routing in IPv6 scenario

Figure 433. Media routing in IPV6 scenarios

t38fax_scenario_03-2.jpg
This scenario shows a fax call between IPV4 and IPV6. The conversion between IPV4 and IPV6 is performed by the OpenScape 4000 SoftGate, which functions as media relay.

Scenario 4: Media relay scenario with DMC (Direct Media Connection)

Figure 434. Media Relay scenario with DMC

t38fax_scenario_04-2.jpg
This scenario shows a fax call from an OpenScape 4000 SoftGate through an OpenScape 4000 network (either SIP-Q or TDM) to a hardware access point.
A DMC is initiated. In case the fax tones are detected before the DMC has been established, the DMC is canceled, and the master channel is used instead. The OpenScape 4000 SoftGate will install a media relay between SIP and H323.
