VoIP ATA Telekom Audiocodes MediaPack 202 with fax support

Telekom Audiocodes MediaPack 202 with fax support is an ATA VoIP adapter that connects analog telephones and fax machines to SIP-based IP networks. The compact device enables voice and fax transmission over VoIP services, allowing small offices and home users to reuse legacy analog equipment while maintaining reliable call handling and fax functionality. It supports common telephony features required for migration from PSTN to IP-based telephony without replacing existing handsets or fax units.

Advantages

The MediaPack 202 offers straightforward integration with SIP providers and PBX systems, preserving familiar analog device operation while converting signalling and audio to IP. Its built-in fax support ensures compatibility with G.711 pass-through and T.38 relay environments where supported by the network, reducing the need for separate fax-over-IP appliances. The unit’s compact footprint and low power consumption make it suitable for desktop or small-cabinet installation, and its firmware support simplifies configuration and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Connecting analog telephones to SIP-based hosted PBX or on-premises IP-PBX
• Enabling fax machines to operate over IP networks with G.711 or T.38 support
• Small office and home office (SOHO) telephony migrations from PSTN to VoIP
• Locations requiring a low-cost gateway for legacy equipment retention

Key specifications

• Adapter type: Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) for VoIP
• Ports: FXS ports for connecting analog telephones and fax machines
• Protocol support: SIP signaling for interoperability with SIP-based services
• Fax handling: Support for fax over IP including common modes such as G.711 pass-through and T.38 relay (network-dependent)
• Audio codecs: Standard narrowband codecs and codec negotiation for voice calls
• Configuration: Web-based configuration and firmware management
• Power and size: Compact form factor suitable for desktop or small cabinet installation

How to use

Install the MediaPack 202 by connecting its LAN port to your IP network and attaching analog devices to the FXS ports. Access the device’s web interface to enter SIP trunk or PBX credentials, configure codecs and fax mode (G.711 or T.38) according to your service provider’s recommendations, and set call-handling preferences. After saving settings and rebooting if required, test voice calls and fax transmissions to verify interoperability and adjust jitter, echo, or fax-related parameters if necessary.

Recommendations

For reliable fax operation, verify that your SIP provider or PBX supports the chosen fax mode and ensure adequate network quality (low packet loss, stable jitter, and sufficient bandwidth). When deploying in small networks, place the adapter on a stable power source and keep firmware up to date to maintain interoperability and security.
