Re: partially received or failed fax



A couple of questions here first.

1. What was your reasoning for moving from a fax machine to a fax modem?
2. Did you run the Fax Wizard after installing the fax modem?
3. How many phone lines?
4. Are you now trying to just use the fax modem with SBS or are you trying
to use both the fax modem and fax machine?

Hi all, I'm having a problem with a fax server at one of my client
site.

I recently installed the SBS 2003 fax server feature with a brand new
USR 325610B (56K Performance Pro Modem). I have a couple of clients
using this same setup with no problems. The driver and firmware have
been updated to the latest version.

We can send fax with no problem. Receiving is a little more tricky.
Some will go thru no problem, others will be partially received, and
this morning while performing some test with a client, were not
received at all.

The partially received ones will give me this error in the event
viewer:

The ones I'm not receiving at all will give me this error, and will
not even show in the fax console:

I'm at a loss here, as I already set the answer ring to 2, and
disabled compression on the modem.

It is really important I get this fixed, because most of the failed
faxes are from my clients main supplier: it's an important part of
their business.

I did plug back the old fax machine so they could receive their fax,
but it's only a temporary thing.

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Stephane
