Symptom

  2. Navigate down to the T.30 - UDP (see screenshot below).

  3. Uncheck the box - "Modified Read (MR)".
  4. Save and close the configuration screen.
  5. Restart Zetafax Server to re-initialise the CAPI devices.

Status

This has been identified by Equisys as a problem with the software versions given above.
