Hi,

So for the re-invite, that needs to be triggered from the ATA. The C5 
doesn't have the capability to trigger re-invites by itself right now.

If you have a T.38 (re) invite coming from the T.38 ATA and you want to 
"break" it into a PCM invite going towards the carrier, you need to set 
the "T.38 decode" preference on the carrier side.

If you have a PCM invite coming from the carrier and want to force it to 
be translated into a T.38 invite going to the ATA, you need to set the 
"T.38 force" preference on the ATA's side. But note that this would 
apply to all invites, not just those carrying fax PCM.

Cheers
