Re: [Vonage] Problem faxing to local numbers
You CAN lower the fax rate to 9600, but you have to call HP to learn how do this. 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. |

That was true for older Cisco software.
It forced G.711 and turned off silence suppression. Should not be needed now AFAIK.

Here are the instructions that I got from HP Online Tech Support:
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. |

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. |
