Author FAX not working to one number

I have a strange FAX issue, where a FAX machine connected to a VG224 can send/receive FAX to any number but is not able to send one outside number a FAX. It can receive FAX's from them fine, just not send. The FAX machines phone or a phone plugged into th
e FAX phone line can call the # fine so there is not a CSS issue, etc.

The FAX machine is plugged into a VG224 with IOS 12.4(11)T , the VG224 is configured as SCCP (stcapp) and we have tried setting the port capabilty to modem passthrough and not with no change.

The PSTN Gateway is a cisco 2821 with a PRI, it is MGCP and running IOS 12.4(9)T and has FAX relay disabled.

We have tried 7 different FAX machines of different models and neither are able to call this particular outside FAX machine when going over IPT. When the FAX machines are plugged into a traditional analog circuit there is not a problem and the FAX works f
ine.

Any ideas?

Why do you think it is a problem on your end?

I was using fax realy with a sip connection to a fax server, the configuration that disables the ecm was on the gateway under the voip dial-peer that is pointing to the fax server with this command fax-relay ecm disable I dont know will that be applicable in ur case or not, try to check the the only number that is failing to send faxs to and see what is the type of the fax machine there if it supports ecm then most commonly that is the problem, try search on cisco for ecm for better understanding of this feature, but I was having a case like u exactly I was able to send to all fax numbers excpet one and I discovered that the this one that fails is a multifuction machine that supports ECM and this doesnot work well with our case.

Thanks and Best Regards
