摘要： This invention relates to methods of establishing facsimile (fax) connections. If a call is originated from a fax source and the destination is a voice station, then the call will be automatically redirected to a fax machine designated to receive fax messages for the voice station. A fax call is detected by a class of service indication in a local switching office, or by having a number forwarded to a toll office from a local office by Automatic Number Identification (ANI) of the caller that is one of a list of fax numbers. When it is determined that a call is a fax call, a fax indicator is sent with Common Channel Signaling (CCS) messages for that call. If a call with a fax indicator is received in a destination switching office, then the destination office checks to see if the called number is a fax number; if not, translation is made to find the number of a fax station for serving fax calls to the called number, and the call is completed to that fax station. Advantageously, customers need not know a fax number to transmit a fax message to an intended recipient.
Three types of problems arise in treating such calls, recognition that the call is a fax call, transmitting that recognition to a far end switch, and redirecting the call at the fax end switch. Among the other techniques used for recognition are a fax class mark in an originating message from an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) line or a dialed prefix such as #, #3, or an alternative common carrier code (10XXX) from an ordinary line. The redirection includes automatic redirection to a store and forward system on busy or no answer, routing to one of a plurality of alternative destinations based on the day and time, screening junk fax, and lighting a fax message waiting lamp on the called (voice) destination. For international calls, a translation from voice to fax may be made at an egress gateway switch; the fax calls may also be automatically routed over low distortion international transmission facilites.

摘要翻译： 本发明涉及建立传真（传真）连接的方法。 如果来自传真源的呼叫和目的地是语音站，则该呼叫将被自动重定向到指定接收语音站传真消息的传真机。 传真呼叫由本地交换局中的一类业务指示检测到，或者通过呼叫者的自动号码识别（ANI）从本地办公室转发到收费处，该号码是传真号码列表之一 。 当确定某个呼叫是传真呼叫时，传真指示符将与该呼叫的公共信道信令（CCS）消息一起发送。 如果目的地交换局收到带有传真指示器的呼叫，则目的地办公室检查被叫号码是否是传真号码; 如果没有，则进行翻译以找到用于对被叫号码进行传真呼叫的传真站的号码，并且该呼叫已完成到该传真站。 有利的是，顾客不需要知道传真号码就可以将传真消息发送给预期的接收者。 在处理这种呼叫时出现三种类型的问题，认识到该呼叫是传真呼叫，将该识别传送给远端交换机，并在传真终端交换机处重定向该呼叫。 在用于识别的其他技术中，来自综合业务数字网络（ISDN）线路的始发消息中的传真类别标记或诸如＃＃＃3的被拨打前缀或来自普通线路的替代通用运营商代码（10XXX） 。 重定向包括在忙或无应答时自动重定向到存储和转发系统，根据日期和时间路由到多个替代目的地之一，筛选垃圾传真，并在被叫（语音）服务器上点亮传真消息等待灯， 目的地。 对于国际呼叫，可以在出口网关交换机上进行从语音到传真的翻译; 传真呼叫也可以通过低失真国际传输设备自动路由。
