-------------------------------------------------------------------------Setup hints for using BGFAX with the USR 21.6K/FD 2.11 12-22-93 B.J. Guillot FidoNet 106/400 InterNet:
[email protected] -------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: If you want to use a 09/20/93 model USR modem with BGFAX, you will need to use BGFAX 1.08. This version works only with the 12/08/93 beta firmware. Keep in mind that fax commands cannot be stored in NVRAM. Here is the relevant information from FDSETUP ... [FDSETUP] Modem -> Command Strings Dial ..... AT Prefix .. +FCLASS=0DT Init-1 ... ATZ| Init-2 ... AT+FCLASS=2.0| Init-3 ... AT+FLI="713 555 1212"| +fclass=0dt +fclass=2.0 +flid="713 555 1212" +fnr=1,1
enables data mode operation on outgoing calls enables fax mode operation sets your FAX ID, up to 20 characters tells modem to let BGFAX know connect speed
Do NOT worry about the +FCC (a.k.a. +FDCC) and +FCR settings. [FDSETUP] Modem -> Answer control Manual answer Yes Force answer ... AT+FCLASS=2.0|~+FAA=1+FNR=1,1,1;A| The "+faa=1" causes the modem to answer adaptively, i.e., to automatically determine whether the incoming call is fax or data and return the response to the modem. [FDSETUP] Mailer -> Errorlevels Fax ... 255 [FDSETUP] Modem -> Default Settings -> Messages Fax ... +FCO 21600 ... CONNECT XXXXX 38400 ... CONNECT 21600 The "CONNECT 21600" string is included because there is a BUG in FD 2.11 that does not allow the 'real' 21600 box to function. You *must* set the 'real' 21600 box to something bogus such as "CONNECT XXXXX". FDRUN.BAT should contain something similar to ... @echo off c: cd\fd fd rem ***** if /FCO if errorlevel 255 if errorlevel 103 if errorlevel 102
gives you problems, try using /FCON bgfax /fco c:\bgfax 1 z maint.bat toss.bat
if errorlevel 101 local.bat if errorlevel 100 dobbs.bat ========================================================================== Regards, B.J. Guillot
