ATA device

Modem

Devices connected to the system through an ATA can have connectivity issues over

 

Telephon

BRI/PRI lines. To alleviate this, you can specify the type of device attached to the

 

analog line.

 

 

 

 

Modem supports 3.1 kHz audio, which requires a higher quality of service on the

 

 

ISDN trunks that modems and FAX machines require for reliable information

 

 

transfer. If the trunks cannot provide the higher level of service, the call fails.

 

 

Telephon supports speech paths, which require less quality on the trunk; if used for

 

 

FAX and/or modem, information transfer is unreliable.

 

 

Default: Modem

 

 

 

Disconnect

<check box>

If you have a modem or fax machine that does not disconnect automatically when

supervision

 

the caller disconnects, you can select this feature; the system then disconnects the

 

 

line from the device when it receives the disconnect signal from the far end. This

 

 

feature is supported only by ASM8+ modules.

 

 

Note: The line must be configured as supervised/guarded. Refer to “Properties” in

 

 

the BCM 4.0 Networking Configuration Guide (N0060606).

 

 

Default: Cleared
