Honor Tone Detection

Enable this option for G.711 to G.711 transcoded calls to cause the SBC to initiate a fax re-invite upon fax tone detection when the  Tone Treatment configuration is either Fax Relay Or Fallback To G711 or Fallback To G711.

When disabled, the SBC ignores the fax tone.

  • Disable (default)
  • Enable

This option only applies to a G.711 codec without silence suppression.

For G.711 calls, Notify Peer, Disconnect, Fax

Relay, and Fax Relay or Fallback to G.711 require a compression resource to be allocated
