The Advanced Tab

The Advanced dialog tab allows configuration modifications on a per command basis.

1. Select a channel or range of channels from the Overview tab.
2. Click the Properties button to view the properties associated with the selected channel(s).
3. Click the Advanced tab.

Figure 70. Properties for Selected Fax Channels - Advanced Tab

The Configuration Commands area of the Advanced tab adds, modifies or deletes any configuration commands. Each command is listed in the Keyword pulldown menu. To add a new command:

1. Select a value from the Keyword pulldown menu.
2. The Parameter 1 and Parameter 2 boxes are active/inactive based upon the number of parameters accepted by the selected keyword.
3. Enter the value associated with the command.

The Status line in the Configuration Commands area reflects changes made for the selected command and parameter.

If the change was accepted, the Status line changes to "Change accepted to "command" # parameter."

If the change was not accepted, the Status line produces an error message for an unacceptable value.

If the command is out of the range, then the change will not be saved.

If the value was within range the change will be saved and will be reflected in the Configuration Status list box.

NOTE:

There are some configuration commands that cannot be modified by the user. These commands are system related (such as the number of channels in the system) and will not be available in the Keyword pulldown menu. These commands and their associated values can be found in the Configuration Status list box.

The Configuration Status area of the Advanced tab is a summary of all configuration commands set in the registry key. Global configuration commands - BUFFERS, CHASSIS, CONTROLT, DEBUG, NUMCHAN, QUEUET, STATUST, UPDATET - are listed first and are the same for all fax channels. Channel configuration commands are listed under the channel number for each logical channel number in the system. Use the scroll bar to view all of the commands.

To modify a command from the Advanced tab:

1. Select a value from the Keyword pull down menu.
2. The Parameter 1 and Parameter 2 boxes are active/inactive based upon the number of parameters accepted by the selected keyword. The entry associated with the command is in the parameter box(es).
3. Replace the existing value with the new value for the selected keyword.

To delete a command from the Advanced tab:

1. Select a value from the Keyword pull down menu.
2. The Parameter 1 and Parameter 2 boxes are active/inactive based upon the number of parameters accepted by the selected keyword. The current values are reflected in the parameter box(es).
3. If you want to delete the GFXFAXCONTROL, GFCCONTROL or MODEMCTRL commands, the command number value must be entered in the Parameter 1 text box before you click the Delete button.
4. Click the Delete button.
5. A warning message requests confirmation that the selected configuration command should be deleted from the registry key. Click OK to delete the command and Cancel to cancel the delete request.

Click OK to accept the changes or Cancel to exit without accepting the changes.

The following table summarizes the configuration commands that can be added, modified or deleted in the Advanced tab.

NOTES:

1. Other commands are available. Making changes to these settings will not impact performance.

2. In the following table, the term "on-the-fly" refers to files converted automatically at the time of transmission on the board.

Table 23. Configuration Commands

COUNTRY	Parameter 1 defines the country code, which is used for country-specific modem operating parameters. This code must be specified for each fax channel for the channel to function correctly. The default value is 1 for United States and Canada. NOTE: This version only supports 1 and 1000 for United States, Canada and Europe.
CSID	Parameter 1 sets the customer subscriber identification (CSID) number for a fax channel. This is the fax number that you enter. For a host system with multiple outgoing fax lines, the CSID should reflect the phone number of an incoming fax line. If no value is entered, a blank CSID is transmitted. The ITU_U recommends that the CSID be set to the international phone number of the fax channel. The maximum length of CSID is 20 characters.
GFXECM	Sets the Error Correction Mode. Parameter 1 specifies a value for sending faxes. Parameter 2 specifies a value for receiving faxes. The GFXSECM and GFXRECM commands override the GFXECM command. Do not use them with the GFXECM command.
GFXFAXCONTROL	Parameter 1 is a specific modem control command and Parameter 2 is the command's associated value. Refer to the GDK, Version5.0 Programming Reference Manual for Windows for more information.
GFCCONTROL	Parameter 1 is a specific modem control command and Parameter 2 is the command's associated value. Refer to the GDK, Version 5.0 Programming Reference Manual for Windows for more information.
GFXFINE	Parameter 1 specifies whether or not to accept only fine resolution incoming faxes and fail all calls that are not in fine-resolution mode.
GFXFORM	Parameter 1 specifies the image format in which to save a received fax and sanitizes faulty scan lines and other errors.
GFXHEADER	Parameter 1 customizes the header on outgoing faxes to contain user-defined information. Up to 95 characters can be printed on a header.
GFXMAXRATE	Parameter 1 specifies the maximum bps a fax channel will attempt to transmit. Possible values are 2400, 4800, 7200, 9600, 12000 or 14400 bps. This may be limited by the hardware that is installed on the host system. The default is the maximum rate the channel can handle.
GFXMINRATE	Parameter 1 specifies the minimum rate a fax channel will attempt to transmit. Possible values are 2400, 4800, 7200, 9600, 12000 or 14400. This may be limited by the hardware that is installed on the host system. The default value is 2400.
GFXRECM	Parameter 1 specifies the Error Correction Mode (ECM) for incoming faxes.
GFXRECVPATH	Parameter 1 sets the fully qualified path and filename template used for the selected fax channel(s) to receive faxes. This command defines both the directory in which received files will be placed and the filename template to be used.
GFXRT6	Parameter 1 controls the reception of T.6 encoding. T.6 encoding requires Error Correction Mode (ECM). ECM must be enabled to receive any T.6 encoded faxes.
GFXRTWOD	Parameter 1 controls TIFF Type 3 2-D line or transmission compression of received faxes.
GFXRWIDTH	Parameter 1 selects the page width requested of the sending fax machine for incoming faxes.
GFXSCANTIME	Parameter 1 sets the scan lines timing in milliseconds for incoming calls. When receiving from a remote fax machine, the software specifies in the DIS field that it is capable of accepting scan lines at a certain rate (the default is 0 msec).
GFXSECM	Parameter 1 specifies the Error Correction Mode (ECM) for outgoing faxes.
GFXSHUTDOWN	Parameter 1 specifies the state of the selected fax channel(s). GFXSHUTDOWN must contain a value in order to send and receive faxes.
GFXST6	Parameter 1 controls the transmission of T.6 encoding. T.6 encoding requires ECM.
GFXSTWOD	Parameter 1 controls TIFF Type 3 2-D line compression of fax transmissions.
CHANNELID	Parameter 1 is a string that identifies a symbolic name for the channel. This command replaces the CHANNEL command from earlier versions.
MODEMCTRL	Parameter 1 is a specific modem control command and Parameter 2 is the command's associated value. Refer to the GDK, Version 5.0 Programming Reference Manual for Windows.

Refer to the GDK, Version 5.0 Programming Reference Manual for Windows for the valid numeric values for, and a complete description of, each command.

Click the OK button in the Overview dialog box to save any changes made in the four tab dialog pages to the registry. Click Cancel to cancel any changes made. Changes made to the properties will only be saved at the end of the session when the user selects OK from the Overview dialog box.
