1.2 Hardware Installation

This procedure is performed only for Full Device Server software.

1.2.1 Fax Modem Devic e

A Class II fax modem device is required for use with the CompuFax product. The MultiTech MT2834ZDX fax modem (19,200 data/ 14,400 fax) has been tested for performance and reliability, and is the recommended modem device.

1.2.2 Modem Cabling

A standard serial modem cable can be used to connect the modem to the terminal server (LAT) or hard-wired terminal port (TX, TT, etc.). The following signal lines must be connected:

Pin 2 Transmit

Pin 3 Receive

Pin 7 Signal Ground

1.2.3 Term inal Port Charac t erist ic s

To ensure transmission of files via CompuFax, the terminal port or LAT port characteristics must be configured correctly. These terminal parameters will be the same whether the modem device is connected to a DEC server or to a direct-connect port (TX, TT, etc.). Use the examples shown here as the proper setting of the port characteristics.
