Media encryption for FAX, modem, TTY, and clear channel
Last Updated : Sep 29, 2026 |

Keywords:
If media encryption is configured, the algorithm used during the audio channel setup of the call is maintained for most FAX relay and pass-through modes. The exception is the T.38 standard for FAX over IP, for which encryption is not used.
Encryption is applicable as shown in the following table.

Note:
For more information about the SRTP encryption protocol, see SRTP media encryption.
If the audio channel is encrypted, the FAX digital channel is also encrypted, except for the limitations described above. AEA-encrypted FAX and modem relay calls that switch back to audio continue to be encrypted using the same key information used at audio call setup.
For the cases of encrypting FAX, modem, and TTY pass-through and TTY relay, the encryption used during audio channel setup is maintained during the call.
The software works in the following way for encryption:
-
For FAX, modem, and TTY pass-through and relay, VoIP firmware encrypts calls as administered on the CODEC set screen. These calls begin in voice, so VoIP encrypts the voice channel as administered. If the media stream is converted to FAX, modem, or TTY digital, the VoIP firmware automatically disables encryption as appropriate. When the call switches back to audio, VoIP firmware encrypts the stream again.
-
For T.38 FAX, VoIP firmware encrypts the voice channel as administered on the CODEC set screen. When the call is converted to FAX, VoIP firmware automatically turns off encryption. If the call later reverts back to audio, VoIP firmware encrypts the stream again.
