Specifies the treatment taken when the fax tone is tones are detected, which can be:

  • Disconnect—Disconnect the call when the fax tone is tones are detected. 
  • Fallback To G711—Fall back to G.711 when the fax tone is tones are detected.
  • Fallback To G711Allow Peer To Negotiate Fax Relay —On  —On detecting the fax tonetones, the SBC initiates signalling of  transcoded calls to transition to G.711. This happens when the current codec is not already G.711. After transiting transitioning to G.711, the SBC allows the peer to re-Invite invite to T.38 transitions.
  • Fax Relay—Switch to fax relay (T.38) when the fax tone is tones are detected.
  • Fax Relay Or Fallback To G711—Switch to fax relay (T.38) if supported, or fall back to G.711 when fax tone is tones are detected.
  • Ignore Detect Detection Allow Peer To Negotiate Fax Relay—Accept a T.38 reINVITE re-invite (either from a calling party or a called party) without detecting the fax tone.
  • None (default)—Do nothing when the fax tone is tones are detected.
  • Notify Peer—For SIP signaling, notify the peer when the fax tone is tones are detected and let the peer decide the next action.

The default setting is None.
