Send/Receive Options

Use this page to configure send and receive options for faxes.

Fax Group

Select a fax group from the pull-down menu. A fax group is a group of fax resources on the media server dedicated for that particular purpose.

Fax Speed

Select the fax transmission speed from the pull-down menu according to the fax modem capacity of the recipients. This speed is the maximum receive baud rate in bps. The default value is 4800 bps. Use "Best" for the maximum support speed by device.

Number of Retries

Use the up and down arrow keys to select the number of times the system will retry to send a fax if it fails to send it on the first attempt (for example, the line is busy or down). The default number of retries allowed for a fax send is 3.

Retry Delay (sec)

Use the up and down arrow keys to select the delay in seconds that the system should wait between the end of a fax failure and the next time it tries to send. The default value is 30 seconds.

No Answer Timeout (sec)

Use the up and down arrow keys to select the time in seconds the system should wait before determining there is no answer when a called fax number rings but does not connect. If the number does not answer within this amount of time, the system terminates the attempted call. The default value is 30 seconds, which represents approximately five rings (in North America).

Do Not Send Faxes During Peak Hours

Select this check box to not send faxes during peak hours as defined in the Begin and End times in Peak Hours below. If selected, the system will not send a fax during the time range entered. For example, if this option is enabled, Begin is set to "08:00", and End is set to "20:00", then no faxes will be sent from 8:00am through 8:00pm.

The default peak hours are 07:00 for beginning time, and 22:00 for ending time.

Note: The time is based on the time zone of the fax server.

Max Fax Call Rate (cps)

Use the up and down arrow keys to select the maximum calls per second or rate that the media server process faxes. The default value is 5 calls per second. The valid range is 1 to 10 million calls per second.
