Description

Default Value

Profile

A number from 2 to 64 that identifies the Intra-zone profile. You assign this Intra-zone FAX profile number to a zone in the Network Zones form.

All zones default to Profile 1. You cannot modify Profile 1.

 

Maximum FAX Rate

Allows you to set the maximum rate of FAX data communication:

  • 2400 (V.27ter, 2400 bps)

  • 4800 (V.27ter, 4800 bps)

  • 7200 (V.29, 7200 bps)

  • 9600 (V.29, 9600 bps)

  • 12000 (V.17 12000 bps)

  • 14400 (V.17 14400 bps)

144000
(V.17 14,400 bps)

High Speed Redundancy

Enter the number (0 to 3) of repeated FAX data packets. Increase this value for low quality networks. Note that if you increase this number, you also increase the amount bandwidth used on the network for FAX communication.

0

Low Speed Redundancy

Enter the number (0 to 8) of repeated FAX signalling packets. Increase this value for low quality networks. Note that if you increase this number, you also increase the amount bandwidth used on the network for FAX communication.

3

ECM

Allows you to disable or enable Error Correction Mode (ECM). ECM automatically detects and correction errors in FAX transmissions that can be caused by noise on the telephone line.

Enabled: allows ECM to be sent over the IP network.

Disabled: prevents ECM from being sent over the IP network even if ECM is enabled on the FAX machines.

Disabled

NSF Override

Allows you to enable or disable Non-Standard Facilities (NSF). NSF are capabilities that a manufacturer has built into a FAX machine to distinguish it from other manufacturer's FAX machines.

Enabled: Blocks the NSF capabilities.

Disabled: Allows NSF capabilities.

Disabled

NSF Vender Code Value

If NSF override is enabled, enter a decimal value to set the 16 bit field (0 -0xFFFF). Typically, this value is set to 0.

0

NSF Country Code Value

A 16 bit field (0 – 0xFFFF) that is used when NSF override is enabled. Usually set to 0. Input will be in decimal.

0

Label

Enter a label up to 22 characters in length for the profile.
