Fax service stops working after a few hours

[voiper]

Hello,

the 3CX software runs in the meantime quite smooth. As far I can see all function are working well. I use the following equipment:

3CX Phone System (Version 5.1.4510.0 and to test Version 6.0.381.0)
Patton SN4552/2BIS/EUI
Hardware Version 2.1
Software Version R4.2 2008-01-17 SIP
and updated Templates.

There is a ISDN line connected to the Patton SN4552 for all incoming and outgoing calls. A SIP-Provider also exists (sipgate.de) but is currently not in use.

I added a DID in the line section for the ISDN-based fax number which is 979899. This DID is specified as "Which calls are faxes - All calls". If there is a (fax-)call, the 3CX system will pick it correctly, but, how strange, immediately hang up (Call::Terminate [CM503008]: Call(81): Call is terminated ).

Here is a copy from the protocol:

It's my understanding, that a fax call by the ISDN line should be taken from the Patton SN4552 and processed by the 3CX Software, am I right? Hmmm, but why are all fax calls immediately terminated?

Strange: This behaviour appears in the Version 5.x as well as in the beta 6.x after a full new install. The 3CX faxservice itself will be NOT terminated. But after a restart of this service, the fax function will work for a certain time (some hours) before it will stop again. The license seems to be properly activated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi

Thanks for your post.

We are attempting to reproduce this issue, however at this point without getting the same results.

We shall keep on running various tests and will get back to you.

Hi,
we have exactly the same problem... We are using 3CX Version 5.1 withe an Patton SN4638 and are getting the same error message:
"Attempt to reach [sip:[email protected]:5060;user=fax] failed. Reason: Not Registered"

Are there any news to this issue?
Thanks in advance!

I suggest upgrading to version 6, this has an improved fax service....

Hi,

we have the same issue with the same setup as above. (3CX 5.1 and Patton SN 4638)

Any news? We don´t want to upgrade yet to Version 6 due to RC1.

Hi,

We had the same issue about fax reception: "Attempt to reach [sip:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;user=fax] failed. Reason: Not Registered" with the patton 4638 Gateway.

We have changed the fax configuration in Général Settings (change 888 to 300 for exemple), restart the Fax server service and re-changed the fax configuration (in my example 300 to 888).

After a final restarting of Fax server service, the reception works well and there are no error message about the registration.

Bizarre but it's ok for us.

Hi guys, machines like PCs, cordless phones and fax machines on standby consume hundreds of megawatts of power. It only takes a couple of seconds for a fax machine or cordless phone to be ready for use when you turn it on. So why don't we have cordless phone base stations and fax machines that consume no power while waiting for an incoming signal, and turn themselves on when one arrives?
