178 Installing Amanda@Work.Place
fax_send_speed The maximum speed that Amanda uses to send faxes.
The value can be '0', '1', '3'. Use '0' for 2400, '1' for 4800, and '3' for 9600 bps. Normally
a value of '3' works for 486 CPUs at 25MHz or higher (and is the default), but it depends
on your computer.
If you experience data loss on your faxes, lower this setting.
The default appears in install.cfg as:
set fax_send_speed '3'
fax_start_char Controls whether the system waits for the start character or not.
True or False. The default is False.
When True, Amanda waits for the character.
When False, Amanda does not wait.
Early drafts of the CCITT Class 2 Specification require that, when sending a fax, the
sender wait for the fax modem to send a control character indicating that it is ready for
the data to begin. Some modems lose data if the computer starts sending before the fax
modem indicates that it's ready to receive. Unfortunately, not all Class 2 fax modems
send the start character.
The default appears in install.cfg as:
set fax_start_char false
fax1
fax2
fax3
fax4
Use these options to define the station, or extension, number to which your fax modem
is connected. For example, if the first fax modem is connected to extension 101, set fax1
to '101'.
By default, no extension is set for a fax modem. Use a maximum of 7 digits.
The defaults appear in install.cfg as:
set faxn ''
where n is logical serial port 1, 2, 3, or 4. See serial_port n .
max_local_extension The maximum number of digits that can be considered an extension number.
The default number is 6. The range is 1 to 6.
Users (at the message menu) can send fax messages they have received to a fax machine
by entering 72 then a fax machine’s telephone number. Amanda applies fax_dl_init
(usually '9' for an outside line) if the telephone number entered by the user has more dig-
its than max_local_extension.
The default appears in install.cfg as:
set max_local_extension 6
