“Modem Configuration: POTS Modem” Screen Field Definitions (cont’d)

 

 

Field Name

Values

Description

 

 

Fax Debugging

on, off

This field allows you to turn on or off a fax

 

 

 

 

debugging feature. When Fax Debugging is on,

 

 

 

 

the FaxFinder produces detailed technical

 

 

 

 

reports on failed faxes. Generally, this feature is

 

 

 

 

for use by the user in conjunction with MultiTech

 

 

 

 

tech support personnel. This feature helps to

 

 

 

 

identify and clarify unusual or difficult problems

 

 

 

 

that may occur.

 

 

Extra Init String

 

In this field, the administrator can enter AT

 

 

 

 

commands that the FaxFinder modem will

 

 

 

 

implement each time the modem is initialized

 

 

 

 

(between each fax call).

 

 

Fax ID

alphanumeric;

The value in this field will be printed at the top of

 

 

 

20 characters,

each page of the transmitted fax. The value in

 

 

 

max.

this field is usually the phone number of the line

 

 

 

 

to which the POTS modem is attached.

 

 

 

 

However, any alphanumeric string up to 20

 

 

 

 

characters is allowed. Sometimes company

 

 

 

 

names or abbreviations are included in this

 

 

 

 

string. Some governments may require that the

 

 

 

 

originating phone number be printed on each fax

 

 

 

 

page.

 

 

Error Correction

on, off

By setting Error Correction to "on," you are

 

 

 

 

requesting that faxes be sent in an error-free

 

 

 

 

condition, which can be achieved only if the

 

 

 

 

remote fax machine with which you are

 

 

 

 

communicating also supports Error Correction

 

 

 

 

and has this feature enabled. The Error

 

 

 

 

Correction feature slows down fax transmissions.

 

 

 

 

If you are operating at speeds below 16,800 bps,

 

 

 

 

you can set Error Correction "off" to achieve

 

 

 

 

faster transmissions of faxes, although the

 

 

 

 

quality of the fax transmissions may be

 

 

 

 

compromised. However, if you have set the fax

 

 

 

 

baud rate to 16,800 bps or higher, then error

 

 

 

 

correction is automatically enabled.

 

 

 

 

Default = on.

 

 

Smart Dial

on, off

If set to “on,” the POTS modem will detect dial

 

 

 

 

tones and busy signals. If ‘no dial tone’

 

 

 

 

messages appear consistently, the Smart Dial

 

 

 

 

feature may be having difficulty detecting PBX

 

 

 

 

dial tone. In such cases, set Smart Dial to “off.”

 

 

 

 

Default = on.
