Re: Windows XP Fax

Hi Guna,

Sounds so far so good, you have set all FAX function of Windows XP.

---------------------------------
| ADSL |
WALL Jack ------- (LINE IN) Splitter (ADSL)----ADSL Modem
| | in PC
| (PHONE) |
---------------------------------
|
|
Telephone

If your setting is like above, you did good job.

As your question whether you must unplug your telephonhe when using
FAX form your PC is UP TO YOUR DATA/FAX MODEM even
you can hook a telephone line divider to PHONE socket of splitter.

Phone DATA/FAX modem in PC

If your DATA/FAX modem can function through the divider even with
telephone connected to the other jack, you may be haapy.
If not, you have to insert two noise filters to both FAX and telephone line
so that they will not interefere with each other.

Noise filter is sometimes called as "line separator" which is another thing
from "ADSL splitter". Sorry for my wrong terminology in the first reply.

Hi Duke,

thankyou for your assistance so far.I have a splitter with line in one end
and adsl modem and local phone the other.
I have line from wall socket going to line,telephone going into local phone
socket on splitter and adsl connected to adsl modem socket on splitter.
What do I need to do to activate built in fax without having to disconnect
local phone or adsl connection?

Regards

Ray

I am just getting in on this discussion which is largely over my head. I
have cable internet, not phone and I have enabled both send and receive on
the fas console. I am able to send a fax but there is a recieve error when I
try to receive either manually or auto. I am using the same phone line that
went into my fax machine and worked. Is it necessary to unplug allother
phones on the fax line? I have tried this. Is there any other reason why
the fax modem would fail given the above?
