ID: ZTN1889

This Zetafax technical note applies to:

  • Zetafax 2012 and earlier

Symptom

On a Zetafax Server with CAPI devices, in some circumstances, the sending server reports an error “Error UNABLE TO CONNECT OR NO ANSWER while sending message to remote” when terminating a fax transmission, resulting in the fax being retried. The recipient receives 2 faxes as a result.

Cause

This was due to an incompatibility with certain fax machines that disconnect immediately after the last page of a fax rather than waiting for a termination signal from the Zetafax Server.

Resolution

This issue has been resolved in the Zetafax 2012 Platform Feature Pack, available for download here.
