Mac Fax: Running Fax Gateway with Other Gateways (83538)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 2.x
- Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 3.0
This article was previously published under Q83538 SUMMARY
Versions 1.1.2 and 3.0 of the Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks Gateway
to Fax can be run on a Mail for AppleTalk Networks server that has other
gateways installed. If the other gateways require use of a data modem and
the printer port is being used for a network connection, you must use a
combination fax/data modem. Fax gateway is configured to use the modem
port.
If fax gateway is in Send mode, it will only attempt to use the modem port
to send a fax and then release the modem port for other gateways to
use.
When running fax gateway in Receive mode, the Gateway Connect Times screen
should have the Pause box checked if other gateway(s) need to use the
modem attached to the modem port. This will cause fax gateway to release
the modem port once every 2 hours so that the other gateway(s) will be
able to use the modem port. Also, all incoming calls will be answered
by fax gateway, unless you configure the Gateway Connect Times so that
each gateway's access to the modem does not overlap with another
gateway. This is because BackRas may independently schedule the
FaxInit to look for incoming calls.
