Description:SIP/208 (Panasonic-Fax in Linksys SPA2102) calls SIP/115 (Linksys SPA504G) with app_dial. SIP/115 answers and presses Xfer-button then dials 158. After i hear CNG from ReceiveFax, i press Xfer on SPA504G again to complete transfer. After that SIP/208 and ReceiveFax are connected, but i don't hear CNG in Panasonic-Fax, so fax transmission from SIP/208 to ReceiveFax fails.

[fax]
exten => s,1,Answer()
exten => s,n,Set(FAXFILE=/mnt/fax_kw12/fax_${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S)}.tif)
exten => s,n,ReceiveFax(${FAXFILE})
exten => h,1,System(chmod 777 ${FAXFILE})
exten => h,n,NoOp(${FAXSTATUS})
exten => h,n,NoOp(${FAXERROR})

[office1]
exten => _XXX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},,tT)
exten => 158,1,Goto(fax,s,1)

This scheme doesn't work only with Attended Transfer and works fine with Blind.

You should not be using attended transfers here. You should be using blind transfer to send the call to ReceiveFax() which you've indicated works.

Additionally, even better yet would really be to use automatic fax detection.

However, we've discussed this and while this MAY be an issue, we can't come up with any logical reason why you would ever do this, because both the blind transfer and automatic fax detection are really the logical solutions to this problem, and an attended transfer in this scenario seems odd.

I've uploaded sip-debug on this call.
Imadsen, may be you are right, but it is rather difficult for users to do both blind and attended transfers. I think faxdetect works only on SIP-2-SIP calls and i've got H.323 lines too.

I see warnings in the debug log that point to a configuration issue.  Please resolve them and upload a new trace.
