Thanks
Change it from 26 to 6. But remember this setting lasts only as long as the printer is on.... once it gets turned off, you have to reconfigure it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9394139 Sat, 14 Feb 2004 23:09:08 EDT Re: [Vonage] Problem faxing to local numbers http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9393940 agrabren : What do you set the value to?

1. Press * and # at the same time, and then release both keys
2. Press 1, 2, and then 3, releasing each key before pressing the next.
The display window should read "Service" with a revision number.
3. Press the right arrow button once.
The display should read "System Configuration".
4. Press Enter.
5. Press the right arrow button until "r/w parameter" appears in the display. Press Enter. The display should read "parameter 0"
6. Change 0 to 153 and press enter now.
7. When modifications are complete, press Cancel repeatedly until the date and time appear in the display.

*** This is on the keypad of the HP all in one device ***
*** This was tested on an HP Officejet 7110 All in One ***

As this is access to a service menu it isn't published anywhere, but this should correct your fax problems by lowering the baud rate.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9391130 Sat, 14 Feb 2004 16:42:00 EDT Re: [Vonage] Problem faxing to local numbers http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9184669 dellsweig : I use the *99 on my ATA 2.16.2 using my second Vonage line (not a fax line) with the lowest line quality setting. I never have any problem sending faxes on this

If it helps - great - if not - it doesnt seem to hurt anything]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9184669 Sun, 25 Jan 2004 12:28:39 EDT Re: [Vonage] Problem faxing to local numbers http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9184644 usa2k :
said by dellsweig See Profile:
I read somewhere that pre-fixing your fax dial number with *99 will make faxes work better - I think it disables some filtering in the ATA
That was true for older Cisco software.
It forced G.711 and turned off silence suppression. Should not be needed now AFAIK.

They don't publish it anywhere and the settings are very cryptic. Make sure to write them down if you do call as you will probably be charged for support and won't want to call them again if you want to change them back.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9184516 Sun, 25 Jan 2004 12:09:48 EDT Re: [Vonage] Problem faxing to local numbers http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9184478 usa2k : The only thing comes to mind is that locally, they are negotiating too high a baud rate?
said by HP SITE:
ITU-T Group 3 fax with Error Correction Mode
33.6 Kbps fax capability


What is annoying is the lack of lowering fax machine baud rate settings :(

I can make/receive phone calls with no problem.
And you hear the fax tone calling the local fax number?

And like above 11 digit dialing always. 14.4kbps max but 9600 is safer.

Cisco 186, I've not sent many, but no problems at 9600. Not sure how "local" would be different?--

but I can not connect to any fax machine within my local area code,I get a dial tone and then my fax machine ( HP d145 multi function) shows "connecting" but it never does connect. We must dial the area code for any local calls here.
Any ideas?
