Bryce,
I have modified the settings on my Rhino CB according to your message..
It will take a day or so for me to be able to verify if that has helped or not.
My current settings (now) for all FXS channels is as follows:
Mode: LOOP
PwrDn: 0 sec
I-Loop: 25.0ms
Tx: -2db
Rx: -2db
Ring: 20
On: 20
How does that look?
Thanks for your response!
++Amaru

Amaru,
Something to double check are the gain levels and current-loop settings on your
channel bank. For fax machines, we generally recommend setting the FXS channels
connected to fax machines to -2 gain and I-Loop to 25.0mA. To do so, unlock the
CB (1-3-2-4 sequence), then select Configure (1), Channel (3), then use the
NxtFld (1) and ChgVal (2) buttons to navigate to the correct channels (or A-FXS
for all FXS channels), and set the parameters. Be sure to press Save (3) when
done for the settings to take effect.
Bob, in order to be a proper G.168 EC, it would automatically disable itself on
the channel as soon as it hears the fax tone.
