-
- THIS FILE ASSUMES YOU ARE RUNNING THE *OS/2* VERSION OF LORA!
-
- Keep in mind that fax commands CANNOT be stored in NVRAM. Be sure that
- your modem is NOT set to "Auto Answer" mode. REGISTER S0 MUST EQUAL 0.
- This is a data register and CAN be set in NVRAM. Note that for standard
- Class 2 modems, your dial strings do NOT need to be modified.
-
- Make sure you are using at least Lora 2.40 Beta 3 and BGFAX 1.40 Beta N.
- Prior versions of Lora/2 and BGFAX/2 may not work together correctly.
-
- Here is the relevant information from LSETUP ...
-
- [LSETUP] Modem -> Command Strings
- Init 1 ... ATZ|~~
- Init 2 ... AT+FCR=1;+FDCC=1,3,0,2,0,0,0,0|
- Init 3 ... AT+FAA=1;+FLID="713 555 1212"|
-
- CAUTION: After you finish setting up Lora for BGFAX, verify that when Lora
- starts you are getting enough 'OK' responses from the modem. In my
- brief experience with Lora, it appeared as if Lora was not waiting
- for an "OK" after sending each string to the modem. That's why I
- put the two tildes (~~) after the ATZ|. If this is true, then I
- suggest the authors of Lora fix this annoyance. It makes it hard
- to use multiple init strings because of that.
-
- +fcr=1 enables fax receiption
- +faa=1 enables adaptive answering
- +flid="713 555 1212" sets your FAX ID, up to 20 characters
-
- +fdcc=1,5,0,2,0,0,0,0 enable high resolution, 14400, 1D compression
- +fdcc=1,3,0,2,0,0,0,0 enable high resolution, 9600, 1D compression
- +fdcc=1,5,0,2,1,0,0,0 enable high res, 14400, 1D and 2D compression
-
- Do not attempt to give a 9600 maximum speed send/receive fax modem the 1,5
- string as it will cause unpredicable results.
-
- [LSETUP] Modem -> Answer control
- Manual answer Yes
- Force answer ... ATA|
-
- ==========================================================================
-
- If you are using a modem such as a Supra that returns a "FAX" response
- proceed with the following instructions ( METHOD #1 ) ...
-
- [LSETUP] Modem -> Hardware
- FAX Errorlevel ... 0 [Errorlevel 0 means use RCVFAX.CMD]
- FAX Message ...... FAX <-- RIGHT
- FAX Message ...... CONNECT FAX <-- THIS IS WRONG
-
- Create a file called RCVFAX.CMD ...
- @echo off
- rem --- "z" is for zfax format
- bgfax2 /fax c:\bgfax h%3 z
-
- ==========================================================================
-
- If you are using a modem such as a PPI FXMT that returns a "+FCON" response
- proceed with the following instructions ( METHOD #2 ) ...
-
- [LSETUP] Modem -> Hardware
- FAX Errorlevel ... 0 [Errorlevel 0 means use RCVFAX.CMD]
- FAX Message ...... +FCON <-- RIGHT
- FAX Message ...... CONNECT +FCON <-- THIS IS WRONG
-
- Create a file called RCVFAX.CMD ...
- @echo off
- rem --- "z" is for zfax format
- bgfax2 /fast:4 c:\bgfax h%3 z
- rem ---if /fast:4 gives you trouble, try using /fcon
-
- ==========================================================================
-
- See BGFAX.DOC for a detailed description of the differences between
- /FAX, /FAST and /FCON.
