Lets you edit more details of the device.
The contents of this dialog depends on the type of the device.
To display this dialog, click the More… button in the Device options - Fax modem dialog.
Action if transmission interrupted
Specify the redial and resending actions that are to be taken when a fax transmission has been interrupted.
Redial immediately
Check this box to specify that the device controller should attempt to dial the fax number twice if it fails whilst sending a page (rather than while dialing or connecting to the remote fax). If the device detects an error during or at the end of the page it will hang up and redial immediately. Leave this box unchecked to disable immediate redial - for example if your modem gets repeated problems when sending to certain fax machines, or if required for large faxshots.
See Expert setup options to specify that the device controller should redial more than once, and for details on resetting the retry counter to assist in sending long faxes.
Resend all pages
Select this option to resend the entire fax message, if a fax transmission is interrupted part way through sending.
Continue from last page sent
Select this option to continue sending the fax message from the last page that was successfully sent, if a fax transmission is interrupted part way through sending.
Resend first page then continue
Select this option to resend the first page (cover sheet) and then continue sending the fax message from the last page that was successfully sent, if a fax transmission is interrupted part way through sending.
Speaker
Specifies whether the modem's internal speaker is to be enabled (if present) for outgoing calls. This setting is useful if problems are experienced with dialing when initially setting up the system.
On when connecting
Enable the speaker until the remote fax answers, or the few seconds of initial setup conversation has completed (depending on the modem).
On throughout call
Enable the speaker throughout the call.
Off
The speaker is switched off at all times.
Volume
Specifies the volume setting for the modem's internal speaker (if supported by the modem). This parameter is ignored if the speaker is disabled (see the Speaker: parameter).
Maximum baud rates
Specify the modem's send and receive baud rates, and the command baud rate.
Sending faxes
Select the maximum line speed for sending faxes (if supported by the modem). The value is usually 9600 or 14400 (depending on the type of modem). If you are unsure, select (default). Zetafax will automatically switch down to a slower speed if required by the line quality or the remote fax machine.
Receiving faxes
Select the maximum line speed for receiving faxes (if supported by the modem). The value is usually 9600 or 14400 (depending on the type of modem). If you are unsure, select (default). Zetafax will automatically switch down to a slower speed if required by the line quality or the remote fax machine. This parameter should be reduced if you experience data errors on incoming faxes (for example on a lower powered fax server PC).
Command mode
Specifies the baud rate used between PC and modem when setting up a fax call - while sending the fax the baud rate is always 19200. If the fax modem supports 19200 bps in command mode then it is preferable to set this parameter to 19200. This can be checked using the Windows Terminal program. Some device types ignore this parameter.
Fax protocol
Fax modems may operate in two different modes Class 1 or Class 2. In Class 2 the modem is responsible for controlling fax protocol, but in Class 1 Zetafax controls fax protocol. Use Class 1 (if available)
Check this box to use the modem in Class 1, allowing Zetafax to control the fax protocol. This may improve the performance of some modems.
Flow control
Data flow between Zetafax and the modem may be controlled by software or hardware. Software flow control must be supported by all fax modems, and is used by default. Some COM port expansion systems only support hardware flow control.
Use hardware flow control
Check this box to use hardware flow control. This is necessary for some COM port expansion systems, and may cure problems where blocks of the page data are missing from sent faxes.
OK
Store the new advanced device configuration, and return to the Device options dialog. Cancel
