Faxing with the
ELSA CAPI Faxmodem
Most major fax programs recognize the ELSA CAPI Faxmodem automatically during
installation and identify it as a 'Class 1' fax modem. Fax transmissions can thus be
realized at speeds of up to 14,400 bps. If your fax program offers you a choice (such as
WinFax and Talkworks Pro), select the option 'CLASS 1 (Software Flow Control)' when
setting up the modem.
The ELSA CAPI Faxmodem requires ELSA LANCAPI for the transmission of fax messages.
A small CAPI icon in the lower right corner of your screen confirms that LANCAPI is
enabled. Please also take care with the settings of the LANCAPI itself.
The least-cost router
The liberalization of telecommunications markets in European has led to the availability
of a variety of providers (network operators) that often offer a wide range of different
charges. These providers also provide the option of the preselection of a given network
or the placement of long-distance calls on a dial-around basis without a contract with a
specific provider. The prefix of the provider must be dialed to access the desired network
on a call-by-call basis. The normal telephone number is dialed after the network
identification prefix.
Unfortunately, the most inexpensive rates vary from provider to provider depending on
the time of day and region. In the morning Provider 1, Provider 2 in the afternoon, and
possibly Provider 3 for international calls. To always have the most economical
connection for telephone calls, surfing the Internet or transferring data to other networks,
it would be necessary to decide which provider is the least expensive before each
connection. An
ELSA LANCOM Business does this for you. Least-cost routing (LCR) is
the function for this task. You define once which providers have the most favorable
charges for your purposes, and the device automatically selects the most economical
provider for you, regardless of whether you are using the router, the
LANCAPI etc).
Function of the
ELSA LANCOM least-cost router
The LCR analyzes the digits dialed by the router or LANCAPI.
The unit checks the LCR table after each digit for a correspondence to a previously dialed
number (prefix). If a suitable entry is found for which the current time and date is valid,
