Fax s uppor t
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.
WinFax PRO configuration
Note: To work properly with the
Sierra Wireless modem,
WinFax PRO must be
configured.
One of the most popular fax software applications is
Symantec™ WinFax®PRO. 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.
Note: Other versions of
WinFax PRO have not been
tested by Sierra Wireless.
Third-party software supported
•Symantec™ WinFax®PRO version 10.0 for Microsoft®
Windows® operating systems: Windows 95 (B and C), 98,
98SE, Me, 2000, and XP (Home and Professional versions)
