Configuring Fax Services
The ATA 190 provides two modes of fax services that are capable of internetworking with Cisco IOS gateways over IP networks. These modes are called fax pass-through mode and T.38 fax relay mode.
With fax pass-through mode, the ATA 190 encodes fax traffic within the G.711 voice codec and passes it through the Voice Over IP (VoIP) network as though the fax were a voice call.
With T.38 fax relay mode, the ATA 190 supports the transmission of faxes, in real time, between two standard fax terminals communicating over SIP networks. T.38 fax relay mode provides a more reliable and error-free method of sending faxes over an IP network
