50 Using a phone or fax machine
Sending or receiving a fax message
Handling delays
When sending or receiving fax messages over satellite, both fax units must be
capable of handling longer delays without timing out. Some fax machines
have an Overseas mode, which enables the unit to handle the long delays.
Sending a fax message from the terminal
The fax machine must be connected to the Phone/Fax interface or the ISDN
interface of the terminal. Refer to the installation manual.
3.1 kHz Audio must be used for an analog fax machine. Refer to Selecting the
default outgoing call type on page 39.
UDI must be used for an ISDN G4 fax machine, Note that this is not possible in
a TracPhone FB250 system. Refer to Configuring the ISDN interface on
page 92.
To send a fax from a fax machine connected to the terminal, dial
00 <country code> <phone number> #
Example: To send a fax to the number +45 39558888,
dial 00 45 39558888 #
Note
If the default setting in the web interface is not 3.1 kHz Audio, you
can dial 2 * before the number, to force the connection to use 3.1 kHz
Audio. For further information, see Overriding the default outgoing
call type on page 40.
