The AirCard permits standard fax transmissions to be sent and received using third-party software.

The AirCard is capable of Fax Class 2.0 operation only.

Note: Sierra Wireless has not tested any Windows CE fax applica- tions with the AirCard, so there is no guarantee of support for any particular application.

When properly installed and configured, WinFax communicates with the AirCard in the same manner as with traditional wireline, land-based modems, simulating a standard fax machine for communi- cation with other fax machines or fax modems.
