Connecting modems and fax machines
If you are using a PHONE port to connect an analog modem or fax machine, the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem lets you configure the port for better throughput. Note that although you will still be able to make voice calls on the port, some ISDN phones may not work in this mode and supplementary services (Call Hold, Call Waiting, etc.) is disabled.
To enable support for fax/modem
1.On the Manual Configuration menu, click ISDN and phone ports. The DIVA LAN ISDN Modem displays the ISDN line parameters page.
2.In the Define settings for box, select the phone port you want to enable phone/fax support on. The DIVA LAN ISDN Modem displays the ISDN phone lines parameters page.
3.Enable the Support modem/fax only parameter. This sets the bearer capability of the outgoing call to 3.1 KHz audio, which provides better throughput when using faxes and modems. Support for supplementary services is disabled.
4.Click Save.
5.Click Reset.
Connecting multiple analog devices
You can connect more than one phone (or analog device) to each of the PHONE ports. One way to do this is to plug your existing telephone extension wiring (which has several telephone sockets chained together) into one of the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem PHONE ports.
