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 26.
UDI
must be used for an ISDN G4 fax machine, Refer to
Configuring the ISDN interface
on page 65.
To send a fax from a fax machine connected to the terminal, dial
