config - HylaFAX configuration database
HylaFAX uses a configuration file for the central queueing
agent and for each facsimile modem attached to a machine. These files
contain information about the modems and about how the HylaFAX server
processes that service these modem should operate. Configuration files are
located in the etc subdirectory. The configuration file for the
faxq(8) program is named config. The per-modem configuration
files used by the faxgetty(8), faxsend(8), and
pagesend(8) programs have names of the form
config.devid, where devid is an identifier
derived from the name of the modem's device file; for example ttym2
for /dev/ttym2, term_10 for /dev/term/10.
Configuration files have a simple format and are entirely
ASCII. A configuration parameter is of the form
tag: value
where a tag identifies a parameter and a value is
either a string, number, or boolean value. Comments are introduced by the
``#'' character and extend to the end of the line. String values start at
the first non-blank character after the ``:'' and continue to the first
non-whitespace character or, if whitespace is to be included, may be
enclosed in quote marks (``"''). String values enclosed in quote marks
may also use the standard C programming conventions for specifying escape
codes; e.g. ``\n'' for a newline character and ``\xxx'' for an octal value.
Numeric values are specified according to the C programming conventions
(leading ``0x'' for hex, leading ``0'' for octal, otherwise decimal), except
for a few parameters, such as RecvFileMode, whose value is
interpreted strictly as an octal number and PageChopThreshold whose
value is interpreted strictly as a floating point number. Boolean values are
case insensitive. For a true value, either ``Yes'' or ``On'' should be used.
For a false value, use ``No'' or ``Off''.
The following table itemizes the tags and the expected type of
their value. The first part lists items specific to the operation of each
server, while the second part has items related to the servicing of the
modem. Parameters marked with a ¹ are used only by the HylaFAX
scheduler process and should appear only in the file named config.
Parameters marked with a ² are used by both the scheduler and the
per-device applications and so should appear in all appropriate
configuration files (i.e. config and any per-device files that make
sense). Parameters not otherwise marked should appear only in per-device
configuration files. More detailed information about each item is given
following the table.

These configuration parameters affect the general operation of the
fax server.
- AdaptiveAnswer
- Control whether or not an adaptive answering strategy is used whereby an
incoming call is answered in multiple ways according to the list specified
in the AnswerRotary parameter. For example, if adaptive answering
is enabled and AnswerRotary specifies ``fax data'', then an
incoming call will first be answered as fax using ModemAnswerFaxCmd
and then, if that fails, as data using ModemAnswerDataCmd. If the
adaptive answer strategy is not enabled, then calls are answered using the
appropriate ModemAnswer*Cmd parameter (normally
ModemAnswerCmd for unattended operation). Note that the adaptive
answer strategy depends on many factors that limit its usefulness. When
calls are answered first as fax, it typically only works with a Class 1
modem because it is important that the sequence of operations related to
answering as fax be completed in a short enough time that a subsequent
answer for data be done before the caller times out and hangs up the
telephone (for this reason Class1RecvIdentTimer should be set to a
value that is shorter than FaxT1Timer.) Also, note that it is
sometimes necessary to arrange that the phone be placed on-hook between
successive answers; this can typically be done by inserting the
appropriate command at the start of the second and subsequent
ModemAnswer*Cmds.
- AdminGroup
- Tells PAM what user group is allowed to administer the fax server. Only
useful if the server is compiled with PAM enabled.
- AnswerRotary
- The sequence of answering techniques the server should ``rotate through''
when answer incoming calls. Answering techniques are:
Name Description
fax answer a fax call
data answer a data call
voice answer a voice call
extern use the vgetty application to answer a call
any answer a call of any/unknown type
When a call is not answered successfully, the server advances
the rotary to the next specified answering technique. If
AdaptiveAnswer is enabled, the server will try all the answering
techniques for each incoming call. Otherwise, the rotary is advanced
between unsuccessful phone calls. For example, if
AdaptiveAnswer is disabled and AnswerRotary is ``fax
data'', then the calls will initially be answered as fax until the first
call is received that does not appear to be from a fax machine; after
that calls will be answered as if they were from a data modem until the
next unsuccessful call; after which they will one again be answered as
fax. Only the first three techniques listed are used; any additional
ones are (silently) ignored. See also AnswerBias.
- AnswerBias
- The index into the AnswerRotary list that the server should rotate
the list to after each successful incoming phone call. List indices are
numbered starting at zero. For example, if AnswerRotary is ``fax
data'' and AnswerBias is 1, then after each successful inbound
call, the next call will be answered as data.
- AreaCode²
- The local area code in which the facsimile modem resides. This value is
passed to the dial string rules that are used, for example, to formulate
canonical phone numbers for dialing (see DialStringRules
below.)
- AuditHook¹
- Specifies a program command and an interest specification indicating which
events as described in faxwatch(8) should trigger the execution of
the program. For example, this configuration:
AuditHook: "bin/hook: J*S*M*R*"
would cause bin/hook to be executed upon every event. The arguments passed
to the hook program are respectively <class>,
<mask>, <id>, and optionally [info]
where...
<class> = JOB | SEND | MODEM | RECV
<mask> = the specific event
<id> = id of the job/modem with which the event is associated
[info] = additional information
- BadPageHandlingMethod
- (Class 1/1.0 only) Specifies how to react to a bad page received from the
remote sender: one of ``RTN'', ``DCN'', or ``RTN-SAVE''.
If a page is received in non-ECM mode with unacceptable
quality according to PercentGoodLines or
MaxConseutiveBadLines then it can be somewhat difficult to inform
the sender of the problem. Historically, HylaFAX has assumed that
signalling RTN to the sender will accomplish this. However, some senders
are incapable of retransmitting pages, and to reduce burden they treat
an RTN signal as a receipt confirmation and proceed to the next page
without notifying the sending user of the potential problem in
readability on the receive-end. (The assumption there being that the
receiving user will notify the sending user if there actually is a
readability problem.)
A setting of ``RTN'' is the historic behavior and assumes that
an RTN signal will be enough to get the sender to retransmit or be
otherwise informed of a potential readability problem on the
receive-end. The previously-received page data is marked to be
overwritten by the next page data received from the sender.
A setting of ``DCN'' tells HylaFAX to transmit a DCN
signal in response to the post-page message and should trigger a call
abortion by the sender. This should clearly indicate a problem in page
readability to the sender, although the receipt of any following pages
in a later call cannot be guaranteed.
A setting of ``RTN-SAVE'' more closely approximates the
behavior of other fax receivers (especially fax machines). It causes
HylaFAX to send the RTN signal but it saves the previously
received page data and places the next transmitted page data in another
page. This is the default setting. However, this could result in
multiple copies of the same page image being saved in the same file - if
the sender does indeed retransmit the unacceptable pages during the same
call.
- BatchLogs¹
- When sending or receiving multiple documents (denoted by EOM), this value
determines if the session logs span the entire batch or, if set to no,
only contain a single document.
- CallIDPattern
- A string that identifies the caller's identity in any call identification
messages provided by the modem (such as Caller*ID or DNIS/DID). The
specified string is compared against any unrecognized status messages
received from the modem before ModemAnswerCmd is sent to the modem.
If there is a match, then the remainder of the message is returned as
CallIDn where n corresponds to the n'th instance that this
CallIDPattern is from the top in the modem configuration file. For
example, for the ZyXEL U-1496 this parameter would be set to
CallIDPattern: ``CALLER NAME: '' (note the trailing space).
If more than one message matches between instances of "RING"
messages, then the message remainders are concatenated.
The special CallID value of "SHIELDED_DTMF"
is used in conjunction with ModemRingResponse and
CallIDAnswerLength. After executing ModemRingResponse,
HylaFAX will expect DTMF data (usually DLE-shielded) for CallIDn
until CallIDAnswerLength is reached. Note that if the modem is in
voice mode to hear these DTMF digits, then it must be returned to fax
mode in the ModemAnswerCmd. In order to prevent this feature from
losing incoming fax calls, if fax sender CNG is detected while waiting
for DTMF or if ten seconds elapse without sufficient DTMF then the
remaining expected digits will be populated by whitespace, triggering
fax answering.
For example, the following settings will cause HylaFAX to
enter voice mode and go off-hook when a RING is detected. It will then
expect four DTMF digits (presumably for routing), and then it will pause
for 100 ms before returning to fax mode and answering the call.
ModemRingResponse: AT+FCLASS=8;H1
CallIDPattern: SHIELDED_DTMF
CallIDAnswerLength: 4
ModemAnswerCmd: <delay:100>AT+FCLASS=1;A
For modems that do not support AT+FCLASS=8 (such as some USR modems) this
may be an appropriate equivalent:
ModemRingResponse: "AT#CLS=8\nAT#VLS=4\nATA"
CallIDPattern: SHIELDED_DTMF
CallIDAnswerLength: 4
ModemAnswerCmd: "<delay:100>AT+FCLASS=1\nATA"
Multiple entries of CallIDPattern are used together in one modem
configuration file in order to capture multiple CallID responses.
For example, the following settings would capture "NDID"
responses from the modem as CallID1, "NMBR" responses from the
modem as CallID2, "NAME" responses as CallID3, and it would
trigger ModemAnswerCmd whenever CallID1 or CallID2 were longer than
7 or 10 characters, respectively.
CallIDPattern: "NDID="
CallIDAnswerLength: 7
CallIDPattern: "NMBR="
CallIDAnswerLength: 10
CallIDPattern: "NAME="
Note that this example is only given as an example, and probably would cause
unexpected results. Because pattern-matching ends when
ModemAnswerCmd is sent to the modem, if "NDID",
"NMBR", and "NAME" responses came from the modem in
that order, and the "NDID" response was at least 7 characters
long, then ModemAnswerCmd would be sent to the modem immediately
following the "NDID" response, and the "NMBR" and
"NAME" responses would be ignored. Generally only one
CallIDAnswerLength item should be in a modem configuration
file.
- CallIDAnswerLength
- An integer indicating the minimum number of characters in a CallID
matching the previous CallIDPattern to be received when
ModemAnswerCmd is sent to the modem irrespective of any
RingsBeforeAnswer value greater than zero. This allows the
answering of calls which deliver CID/DID data but not RINGs. For example,
CallIDAnswerLength: ``7''
would cause the call to be answered when CallID2 reached a length of
seven digits. A value of zero for CallIDAnswerLength disables this
feature.
- ClocalAsRoot
- Control whether operations that set the CLOCAL bit on the
modem device special file are done with the effective user-ID set to the
super-user or the ``fax'' user. By default such operations are done as the
fax user, except under IRIX where they are done as the
super-user (because IRIX disallows manipulation of
CLOCAL by anyone but the super-user).
- ContCoverCmd¹
- The command to invoke to generate a continuation cover page; see
ContCoverPage and mkcover(8).
- ContCoverPage¹
- A template file to use in creating continuation cover pages. If
this parameter is non-null, then the server will pass the filename to the
command specified by ContCoverCmd to generate cover pages for
outbound jobs that are continued after protocol errors. These cover pages
identify the receiver and indicate that the document is a continued
transmission. If this parameter is not specified or is null, then the
server will not generate continuation cover pages. The specified pathname
must be relative to the top of the fax server's spooling area.
- CountryCode²
- The local country code in which the facsimile modem resides. As for
AreaCode, this value is passed to the dial string rules for use in
formulating canonical phone numbers for dialing (among other things.)
- CountSkippedPages
- If a page range has been specified in the job, and pages are being skipped
during the send, this controls if the pages skipped are counted in the
pages counted and totaled. If skipped pages are to be counted, it will
appear as if the pages were instantly sent in 0:00 with no data. The
tagline counts will be incremented on skipped pages, and faxq will notify
clients via triggers of them as well. If the are not to be counted, then
tagline page counts will act as if the pages never existed, and not faxq
trigger notifications will be sent.
- DeviceMode
- The file protection mode that the server should set for the modem device
file. Note that this value is given in octal. The default value of 0600
implies that only the facsimile user (usually uucp) can access the
modem. See also chmod(2).
- DialStringRules²
- The pathname of the file that holds the rules for processing
user-specified dial strings; c.f. dialrules(5). The specified
pathname must be relative to the top of the fax server's spooling area;
e.g. etc/dialrules.
- DistinctiveRings
- Modern distinctive ring support on most modems indicates the ring cadence
rather than the older style of ``RING1'', ``RING2'', etc. To indicate the
ring cadence, DRingOn and DRingOff values are presented by
the modem to the faxgetty process. The modem indicates the entire
cadence between ``RING'' indications Like this:
RING
DROF=40
DRON=8
DROF=4
DRON=8
RING
The corresponding DistinctiveRings parameter for this ring cadence
would be:
DistinctiveRings: F-8-4-8
where ``F'' tells the faxgetty process that the ring cadence is for a
facsimile (``V'' for voice and ``D'' for data), and the other values
describe the ring cadence with leading and ending DRingOff values
ignored. Multiple ring cadences are indicated by delimiting them with
commas in this fashion:
DistinctiveRings: V-20,F-8-4-8,D-4-2-4-8
- DRingOff
- A string that identifies the ``off'' value in any distinctive ring
cadence, for example ``DROF=''. See also DRingOn and
DistinctiveRings.
- DRingOn
- A string that identifies the ``on'' value in any distinctive ring cadence,
for example ``DRON=''. See also DRingOff and
DistinctiveRings.
- DynamicConfig
- The pathname of the optional program, e.g. ``etc/localid'', that makes
dynamic configuration changes, i.e., to LocalIdentifier, based on
device ID and call identification. The program is passed those values as
the parameters ($1 = device id, $2 = CallID1, $3 = CallID2, $4 = CallID3,
...), when answering an incoming call. The program can then perform local
processing as desired to send on standard output the configuration items
to change in a ``parameter:value'' format, i.e. ``LocalIdentifier:
+1.800.555.1212''. If there are multiple parameters to be changed, then
each item must be on its own line. This is commonly used to dynamically
alter the local identification of systems which use DID/DNIS, but it can
also be used to allow different modem configurations for different
senders. This program can also set the RejectCall options to cause
the current call to be rejected instead of answered. Note that this file
must be marked as executable by the faxgetty process.
- EGettyArgs
- A string that indicates whether or not the server should use an an
external getty application to deduce and possibly handle an incoming call.
If the string value is not null, then it is interpreted as a set of
arguments to pass to the getty program. Before supplying the arguments,
the string is first scanned for ``%''-escape sequences: any appearance of
``%l'' is replaced with the tty name and any appearance of ``%s'' is
replaced with the serial port speed (in decimal). Any appearance of
escaped numbers 1 through 9 (``%1'' through ``%9'') are replaced by the
match to the corresponding CallIDPattern, if present. The ``%''
character can be specified with ``%%''. If the EGettyArgs parameter
is not specified in the configuration file or if the string value is null,
then ``extern'' connections will be rejected. Note that in addition to the
specified command line arguments, the external getty program is invoked
with its standard input, output, and error descriptors directed to the
controlling tty device.
When the external getty application completes, its exit status
is evaluated and is interpreted to indicate what, if anything, should be
done with the call. An exit status of ``0'' indicates an unknown call
type and that the call should be handled as if the external getty
program had not been used. An exit status of ``1'' indicates a data
connection and that the getty(8) program should be used to handle
the call (see GettyArgs) after being answered with
ModemAnswerDataBeginCmd . An exit status of ``2'' indicates a fax
connection that should be handled after being answered with
ModemAnswerFaxBeginCmd. An exit status of ``3'' indicates a voice
call and that the vgetty program should be used to handle the
call (see VGettyArgs) after being answered with BR
ModemAnswerVoiceBeginCmd . An exit status of ``4'' is considered to be
an error condition. The session will be terminated. An exit status of
``5'' is used to indicate that the external getty program handled the
call entirely, is not an error condition, and that the session is to be
considered terminated.
- FAXNumber
- The phone number associated with the facsimile modem. This string is used
to generate the Transmitter Subscriber Identification (TSI)
and Caller Subscriber Identification (CSI) information
passed to remote machines—unless the LocalIdentifier
parameter is explicitly set. The FAXNumber is also used to name the
session log file where information for incoming phone calls is recorded;
see hylafax-log(5). If this phone number is not a fully qualified
number the values of AreaCode and CountryCode are used to
generate the transmitted CSI and TSI.
- Include²
- Include the specified file and parse it as a config file
- InternationalPrefix²
- The string to use to place an international phone call. In the United
States, this is ``011''. This string is passed to the dial string
rules.
- JobControlCmd¹
- The command to invoke to which provides Job Control information for a job.
See JobControl(8).
- JobReqBusy
- The delay in seconds to wait before retrying a job whose dialing attempt
failed with a ``BUSY'' status result.
- JobReqDataConn
- The delay in seconds to wait before retrying a facsimile job whose dialing
attempt failed because a data modem answered the phone.
- JobReqError
- The delay in seconds to wait before retrying a job whose dialing attempt
failed with a ``ERROR'' status result.
- JobReqNoAnswer
- The delay in seconds to wait before retrying a job whose dialing attempt
failed with a ``NO ANSWER'' status result.
- JobReqNoCarrier
- The delay in seconds to wait before retrying a job whose dialing attempt
failed with a ``NO CARRIER'' status result.
- JobReqNoFCon
- The delay in seconds to wait before retrying a facsimile job whose dialing
attempt failed because the initial facsimile protocol handshake failed
(i.e. no ``+FCON:'' result was received from a Class 2/2.0 modem).
- JobReqOther²
- The delay in seconds to wait before retrying a job that failed for a
reason not already covered by one of the JobReq* parameters.
- JobReqProto
- The delay in seconds to wait before retrying a facsimile job that failed
because of a fax protocol error.
- JobRetryBusy
- The number of times to redial a phone number after receiving a ``BUSY''
result code when the number has not been successfully dialed before.
- JobRetryDataConn
- The number of times to redial a phone number after the dialing attempt
failed because a data modem answered the phone when the number has not
been successfully dialed before.
- JobRetryError
- The number of times to redial a phone number after receiving a ``ERROR''
result code when the number has not been successfully dialed before.
- JobRetryNoAnswer
- The number of times to redial a phone number after the dialing attempt
failed because of NO ANSWER when the number has not been successfully
dialed before.
- JobRetryNoCarrier
- The number of times to redial a phone number after the dialing attempt
failed because of NO CARRIER when the number has not been successfully
dialed before. In normal operation the fax server will treat this result
code to mean that a facsimile modem/machine did not answer the phone and
reject the transmit job. This is done to avoid repeatedly dialing wrong
phone numbers and depends on the modem distinguishing between no carrier
and no answer. However, some modems are not capable of reliably
distinguishing between no carrier and no answer, or when instructed to do
so do not identify a busy signal correctly. For these modems one may find
it necessary to increase the value of this parameter to compensate. It is
strongly recommended, however, that this value not be set to a large
number.
- JobRetryOther
- The number of times to redial a phone number after the dialing attempt
failed for a reason not already covered by one of the other JobRetry*
parameters when the number has not been successfully dialed before.
- GettyArgs
- A string that indicates whether or not the server should invoke the
getty(8) program in response to an incoming call from a data modem.
If the string value is not null, then it is interpreted as a set of
arguments to pass to the getty program. Before supplying the arguments,
the string is first scanned for ``%''-escape sequences: any appearance of
``%l'' is replaced with the tty name and any appearance of ``%s'' is
replaced with the serial port speed (in decimal). Any appearance of
escaped numbers 1 through 9 (``%1'' through ``%9'') are replaced by the
match to the corresponding CallIDPattern, if present. The ``%''
character can be specified with ``%%''. If the GettyArgs parameter
is not specified in the configuration file or if the string value is null,
then data connections will be rejected. Note that in addition to the
specified command line arguments, the getty program is invoked with
its standard input, output, and error descriptors directed to the
controlling tty device.
- LocalIdentifier
- The local station identification string to use when transmitting
TSI and CSI strings (see FAXNumber
above). NB: while this string may contain any printable
ASCII characters; beware that CCITT T.30
specifies a restricted character set and some fax modems and machines may
reject or not display non-conforming strings. If the local identifier is
not specified, a canonical form of the FAXNumber is used
instead.
- LockDataCalls
- Hold the UUCP lockfile during the time an inbound data call
is processed by the external getty program. If this is disabled then the
lockfile will be removed just before the getty program is invoked. Note
however that doing this introduces a race condition whereby an outbound
program may sneak in and take control of the modem after the inbound call
has been accepted, but before the getty program has started up and
installed it's own lockfile.
- LockVoiceCalls
- Hold the UUCP lockfile during the time an inbound data call
is processed by the external voice getty program. If this is disabled then
the lockfile will be removed just before the voice getty program is
invoked. Note however that doing this introduces a race condition whereby
an outbound program may sneak in and take control of the modem after the
inbound call has been accepted, but before the voice getty program has
started up and installed it's own lockfile.
- LogFacility²
- The symbolic name for the syslog(3) facility to use when logging
error messages and informational/debugging messages requested through the
ServerTracing parameter. The list of facility names is
standardized; it can be found in the system include file
<syslog.h>; comparisons are case-insensitive.
- LogCalls
- Log all incoming calls into xferfaxlog as CALL records. This allows a
quick check of all incoming calls, regardless of fax completion or not in
a unified manner with other fax logs.
- LogFileMode
- The file protection mode that should be used when creating files to hold
session logs. Note that this value is given in octal. The default value of
0600 implies that the log files are not generally accessible, which is
important if sensitive information such as calling card access codes are
logged. If log files are to be publicly accessible, this value may be set,
for example, to 0644. See also chmod(2).
- LongDistancePrefix²
- The string to use to place a long distance phone call. In the United
States, this is ``1''.
- MaxConcurrentCalls¹
- The default value to use for the maximum number of jobs for the same
destination that are processed concurrently. Thus this parameter defines
the maximum number of concurrent phone calls to the same destination.
Unless all of your fax destinations have multiple fax lines using the same
fax number per destination then MaxConcurrentCalls is probably best
left as the default of 1 and exceptions should be accommodated by the
JobControl mechanism.
- MaxBatchJobs¹
- The maximum number of jobs to batch together in a single call.
- MaxConsecutiveBadLines
- The maximum number of consecutive erroneous rows of image data that the
server will receive before it deems a page to have unacceptable copy
quality. Setting this parameter to zero causes the server to not check the
quality of received facsimile. Facsimile received with error-correction do
not have copy quality checking performed. See also
PercentGoodLines.
- MaxDials¹
- The default value for the maximum number of times the server will place a
call for an outbound job. This value may be overridden by rules in the
JobControl mechanism. See also MaxTries.
- MaxRecvPages
- The maximum number of pages the server will accept in a received facsimile
before it aborts the session.
- MaxSendPages¹
- The default value for the maximum number of pages the server will permit
in a transmitted facsimile. Outbound jobs that exceed this limit are
rejected. This value may be overridden by rules in the JobControl
mechanism.
- MaxSetupAttempts
- The maximum number of times a HylaFAX server program will attempt
to initialize a modem before considering it ``wedged''.
- MaxTries¹
- The default value for the maximum number of times the server will attempt
to communicate with a remote site. Note that for a call to be counted
against this limit, carrier must be established; this is in contrast to
the value of MaxDials which limits the number of calls that will be
placed on behalf of a job. This value may be overridden by rules in the
JobControl mechanism. See also MaxDials.
- MinAcceptedLineCount
- The minimum number of received scanlines allowed on an ``OK'' page. The
use of this setting prevents confirmation from being sent for very short
pages.
- ModemGroup¹
- Define a logical name for a set of modem devices. This parameter can be
used to define a name that clients can use to refer to a collection of
modems. The syntax is ``<name><regex>'' where
<name> is the name for the group and <regex> is
a regular expression that faxq(8) matches against known modems.
Thus for example, the default modem to use for a job, any, is
defined as ``any:.*''. This parameter may be specified multiple times to
define multiple modem classes. Modem classes may overlap. The actual set
of modems in a modem class that are considered for use may vary based on
which modems are believed to be ready for use.
- ModemPriority
- The scheduling priority to use for a modem. Priority values are in the
range 0 to 255 with lesser values signifying higher (more desirable)
priority. The HylaFAX scheduler process assigns the highest
priority modem that is ready for use when scheduling an outbound job.
If multiple available modems in a job's selected
ModemGroup have the same ModemPriority value, then the
HylaFAX scheduler assigns jobs to them in a round-robin
fashion.
- NoAnswerVoice
- Whether or not to disable the answering of calls indicated as voice (e.g.
by DistinctiveRings ).
- NoCarrierRetrys
- This is mapped onto JobRetryNoCarrier
- ModemReadyState
- Define the state transmitted to the HylaFAX scheduler
process each time a modem is made ready by a faxgetty process.
State is one of: ``R'' (ready for use), ``B'' (busy), or ``D'' (down). The
modem state can be used to control whether or not modems are assigned to
outbound jobs. A modem's state is initially set to ``R'' (ready). Modem
state can be dynamically changed with the faxstate(8) program or by
setting this configuration parameter with the faxconfig(8)
program.
- ModemRingResponse
- This can be used to cause the command defined by ModemRingResponse
to be sent to the modem after hearing at least
ModemRingsBeforeResponse RINGs in order to receive DID-DTMF data,
for example.
- ModemRingsBeforeResponse
- This defines the minimum number of RINGs that must be heard before
ModemRingResponse is first sent to the modem.
- NotifyCmd²
- The command to invoke to notify a client of a job status change; see
notify(8).
- PageChop¹
- Whether or not to automatically truncate trailing whitespace on pages of
outbound facsimile (when possible). If page chopping is enabled, then
pages with at least PageChopThreshold trailing whitespace on a page
will be transmitted as a ``short page'' if the receiver is capable of
accepting variable-length pages. The possible values are: ``last'' to
enable chopping of the last page of each document, ``all'' to enable
chopping of all pages, or ``none'' to disable page chopping.
- PageChopThreshold¹
- The minimum amount of trailing whitespace that must be present on a page
before page chopping will be attempted; see PageChop. Note that
this value is specified in inches.
- PCL2FaxCmd¹
- The command to invoke to convert a HP-PCL document submitted for
transmission to TIFF/F, suitable for transmission.
- PercentGoodLines
- The minimum percentage of good rows of image data required for a received
facsimile page to be deemed to have acceptable copy quality. Setting this
parameter to zero causes the server to not check the quality of received
facsimile. Facsimile received with error-correction do not have copy
quality checking performed. See also MaxConsecutiveBadLines.
- PollLockPokeModem
- When polling for the presence/removal of a UUCP lockfile,
also test to make sure the modem is still reachable. This is useful for
scenarios where the modem is apt to become disconnected while the modem is
idle, such as an external modem that may lose power, where the
administrator wants notification of this (as a ``wedged'' condition).
- PollLockWait
- When polling for the presence/removal of a UUCP lockfile,
the time (in seconds) to wait between checks. Lockfile polling occurs to
ensure the fax server doesn't collide with another process using the
modem.
- PollModemWait
- The time (in seconds) to wait between checks for a modem to become ready
for use. Modem polling occurs when a modem fails to reset cleanly.
- PriorityScheduling
- Indicates whether the HylaFAX scheduler should utilize available
priority job scheduling mechanisms to enhance realtime execution,
particularly with Class 1 configurations on older or slower systems.
Currently PriorityScheduling is available for IRIX,
SVR/4, HP-UX, and POSIX-compliant (i.e. Linux) operating systems. The
default value varies to maintain traditional HylaFAX behavior. On
IRIX, SVR/4, and HP-UX systems where the configure script detects one of
the functions schedctl(), priocntl() or rtprio() the default is true.
The only other supported priority mechanism is POSIX
sched_setscheduler(), which is used on Linux, OpenServer and possibly
other systems. On such systems, as well as on systems where no priority
scheduling mechanism exists, the default is false."
- PS2FaxCmd¹
- The command to invoke to convert a POSTSCRIPT document submitted for
transmission to TIFF/F, suitable for transmission; see
ps2fax(8).
- QualifyPWD
- A string that specifies whether or not the identity of calling facsimile
machines should be checked against an access control list before receiving
facsimile. If QualifyPWD is non-null, then only messages from
facsimile machines identified in the file specified by the string
(typically etc/passwd) will be accepted; similar to
QualifyTSI.
- QualifyTSI
- A string that specifies whether or not the identity of calling facsimile
machines should be checked against an access control list before receiving
facsimile. If QualifyTSI is non-null, then only messages from
facsimile machines identified in the file specified by the string
(typically etc/tsi) will be accepted; see tsi(5). If
QualifyTSI is not specified in the configuration file, or the value
is null, then all incoming facsimile messages will be accepted.
- RecvDataFormat
- The data format (compression scheme) to write received facsimile data when
copy quality checking is performed on the host. (When copy quality
checking is not done by the server, for example when error correction
protocol is used, the received facsimile data is written exactly as it is
received from the modem.) The format may be one: ``1-D MH'', ``2-D MR'',
``2-D MMR'', or ``adaptive''. An ``adaptive'' format causes the received
data to be written using the data format negotiated by the sender and
receiver. Note that while 2-D MMR is the most space-efficient data format
the resultant file may not be viewable (certain commonly used programs do
not properly read multi-strip TIFF with 2-D MMR data).
- RecvFileMode
- The file protection mode that should be used when creating files to hold
incoming facsimile. Note that this value is given in octal. The default
value of 0600 implies that only the facsimile user can read received
facsimile. If incoming facsimile are to be publicly accessible, this value
may be set, for example, to 0644. See also chmod(2).
- RejectCall
- If this is set to true, the current call will not be answered, and will be
rejected. This option has no effect if set in the configuration file, but
when set by the DynamicConfig program, controls the current call.
This options supersedes the obsolete QualifyCID option.
- RingData
- A modem status string that identifies that an incoming call is for data
use. This string should be set when a phone line has been setup with
distinctive ring service. See also RingFax and
RingVoice.
- RingExtended
- An identifier which matches the initial portion of an extended RING
message sent by the modem to relay CID and/or DNIS data instead of sending
it formatted on separate lines.
- RingFax
- A modem status string that identifies that an incoming call is for
facsimile use. This string should be set when a phone line has been setup
with distinctive ring service. See also RingData and
RingVoice.
- RingsBeforeAnswer
- The number of rings to wait before answering the phone. If this value is
set to 0, then the phone will only be answered in response to an explicit
answer command; see faxanswer(8).
- RingTimeout
- If a ring is heard and the call is not answered, the time in ms to wait
before reinitializing the modem for the next call.
- RingVoice
- A modem status string that identifies that an incoming call is for voice
use. This string should be set when a phone line has been setup with
distinctive ring service. See also RingData and
RingFax.
- RTNHandlingMethod
- Specifies how to react to an RTN signal received from the remote: one of
``Retransmit'', ``Giveup'',``Ignore'', or ``Retransmit-Ignore''.
``Retransmit'' assumes that the page is not received
successfully. HylaFAX will make up to two additional attempts to send
the page, decreasing signalling rate and retraining. If RTN continues,
up to 2 additional calls will be placed. The downside is that if the
remote always responds with RTN, the page will be sent 9 times and no
following pages will be sent. Many fax machines will not behave this
way, although T.30 specification seems clear that this is the intent of
the RTN signal.
Many fax machines will interpret RTN as meaning to not send
the same data again. That is because RTN may indicate problems with flow
control, incorrectly encoded T.4 data, or some incompatibility other
than line noise. Fax machines that interpret RTN this way will
disconnect and require a manual retransmission. This ``over and out''
behaviour can be activated by the ``Giveup'' value. The advantage to
this behavior is that the same page of image data will not be sent
multiple times, but the downside is that the following pages will not be
sent.
``Ignore'' is similar to ``Giveup'' in that it makes the
assumption the data cannot be automatically accepted by the receiver.
However, rather than disconnecting the page of image data is abandoned
and processing moves on to the next. The remote is left to decide what
to do with the unacceptable page of image data. The downside to this
behavior, is that the remote may or may not have kept the page,
depending on its interpretation of the RTN signal - but it does allow us
to continue on to the next page.
``Retransmit-Ignore'' is a combination of ``Retransmit'' and
``Ignore''. The page of image data is retransmitted up to two additional
times, but rather than disconnecting after a third RTN signal for the
same page, processing then continues on to the next page. This approach
is an effort to satisfy both interpretations of an RTN signal. It allows
the receiver to hopefully receive a better copy of the image data while
not failing to send subsequent pages. If the receiver saves or prints a
copy of pages for which it transmits RTN, then it could save or print up
to three copies of every page.
- SaveUnconfirmedPages
- Whether or not to save a received facsimile image page if the sender
disconnects without sending the post-page message, without hearing our
message confirmation, without retraining as requested, or otherwise breaks
fax protocol following such pages for which the sender should not have a
``receipt confirmation''.
- SendFaxCmd¹
- The command to use to process outbound facsimile jobs; see
faxsend(8).
- SendPageCmd¹
- The command to use to process outbound pager jobs; see
pagesend(8).
- SendUUCPCmd¹
- The command to use to process outbound UUCP jobs. This
parameter is not currently used, it is for future development.
- ServerTracing²
- A number that controls the generation of tracing information by a server
when not actively sending or receiving facsimile. Tracing is divided into
areas that are individually controlled. To enable tracing of
multiple areas of operation, the flag associated with each area should be
bit-or'd to form the value for this tag.
Flag Area Description
1 (0x00001) Server Operation queue management and general operation
2 (0x00002) FAX/IXO Protocol T.30 facsimile protocol or IXO/TAP protocol
4 (0x00004) Modem Operations modem hardware manipulation
8 (0x00008) Modem Communications commands passed between host and modem
16 (0x00010) Timeouts timer operations

262144 (0x40000) TIFF library any messages produced by the TIFF library
524288 (0x80000) ECM Frames binary T.30-A HDLC ECM frames
For example, to enable tracing of server operations and protocol operations,
a value of 1+2=3 should be specified. NB: tracing timeouts and/or
binary modem I/O can adversely affect the operation of the fax
server; enabling these areas should be done with extreme
care.
- Server tracing is directed to syslog(3) using the facility
specified with the LogFacility configuration parameter. Note that
syslogd(8) must be configured to capture facility.info,
facility.debug, facility.warning, and facility.err
messages. See hylafax-log(5) for a description of the logged
messages.
- SessionTracing²
- A number that controls the generation of tracing information by a server
while sending or receiving facsimile. The number is interpreted
identically to ServerTracing. Note that session tracing is placed
in log files in the log subdirectory; see hylafax-log(5) for
more information.
- SpeakerVolume
- The volume level that the in-modem speaker should be adjusted to while in
command mode. The possible values are:
Value Description
Off silent
Quiet almost inaudible
Low tolerable in privacy
Medium loud enough to hear in the next room
High intolerable
Note that the speaker is always turned off once carrier is established. Also
beware that some modems support fewer volume settings; see
ModemSetVolumeCmd.
- TagLineCoverNumString
-
Setting TagLineCoverNumString instructs faxsend to not include
the cover pages in the normal page numbering mechanism. The page numbers
used in the tagline generation will adjusted to not count the cover
pages, and the TagLineCoverNumString value wil be used instead of a page
number on the tagline of the cover page.
- TagLineFont
- The filename of the font to use in imaging tag lines across the top
of each transmitted page. Fonts must be stored in the Portable Compiled
Font (PCF) format used by the X11 Window System. Filenames
are specified relative to the root of the spooling area; e.g.
etc/lutRS18.pcf. If no font is specified, if a null filename is specified,
or if the specified font file is not readable, then tag lines will not be
generated. See also TagLineFormat.
- TagLineFormat
- The format string to use when imaging tag lines across the top of
each transmitted page. This string may include escape codes that cause
various items to be interpolated into the imaged tag line. Any escape code
supported by strftime(3C) may be used as well as the following
server-implemented codes:
Escape Description
%%a destination subaddress
%%c destination company name
%%C sender's company name
%%d destination phone number
%%g destination geographic location
%%G sender's geographic location
%%i job identifier
%%I group identifier
%%j user-specified job tag
%%l LocalIdentifier or canonicalized FAXNumber
%%m sender's electronic mail address
%%n canonicalized FAXNumber
%%p current page number of session
%%P current page number of job
%%r receiver's name
%%s sender's name
%%S subject
%%t total pages in session
%%T total pages in job
%%v destination voice number
%%V sender's voice number
%%% ``%''
In addition, the format string may indicate that text is to be
centered in multiple equal-sized fields by separating text with
``|'' characters. For example, ``a|b|c'' would cause the tag line to be
broken up into three equal-sized areas with the strings ``a'', ``b'',
and ``c'' centered within each region. The default tag line format
string is ``From %%n|%c|Page %%P of %%T''. The differences between the
%%p or %%P and the %%t or %%T options are noticed when a fax job is
retried after an incomplete attempt and only the previously unsent pages
are then queued in a successive session. See also
TagLineFont.
- TIFF2FaxCmd¹
- The command to invoke to convert a TIFF submitted for transmission to
TIFF/F, suitable for transmission; see
tiff2fax(8).
- TimeOfDay¹
- The default time-of-day restrictions to apply to outbound jobs. Outbound
jobs will be processed only during the specified time. Any jobs submitted
outside this time period will be held until the start of this time. The
syntax for time-of-day restrictions is designed to be compatible with the
syntax used by the UUCP software. The following
BNF describes the syntax:
Syntax = tod ["," tod]
tod = <days><timerange>
days = "Any" | "Wk" | <dayname>+ | nothing
dayname = "Sun" | "Mon" | "Tue" | "Wed" | "Thu" | "Fri" | "Sat"
timerange = <start> "-" <end> | nothing
start = <24hrtime>
end = <24hrtime>
24hrtime = {0-9}{0-9}{0-9}{0-9}
nothing =
where start and end are 24-hour times, day names
can be either 2- or 3-characters, and a null day or time specification
means any time or day. White space and other syntactic sugar may be
freely inserted between tokens but may not be inserted between 24-hour
times in the time range.
- This value may be overridden by rules in the JobControl
mechanism.
- Use2D¹
- Control the use of 2D-encoded data for transmitted facsimile.
- UseJobTagLine
- Allow the use of the job-specified tagline instead of the configured
TaglineFormat
- UUCPLockMode²
- The file protection mode that should be used when creating
UUCP lockfiles. Note that this value is given in
octal.
- UUCPLockDir²
- The pathname of the directory in which UUCP lockfiles are
to be created.
- UUCPLockTimeout²
- The time in seconds to wait before removing a stale
UUCP lockfile (i.e. a lockfile whose owner does not appear
to exist). If this value is set to 0, then the fax server will never
remove a stale lockfile.
- UUCPLockType²
- A string that specifies the type of UUCP lockfile to
create. The string may be one of ``ascii'' or ``binary'' depending on
whether the process-ID of the lock owner is written to the file as an
ascii string or as a binary value, respectively. In addition, two prefixes
may be used to control the format of the lock filename. If the type string
is prefixed with a ``+'', then SVR4-style filenames are
generated using the major device number of the tty device and the major
and minor device numbers for the filesystem on which the tty device
resides. If the type string is prefixed with a ``-'', then any upper case
letters in the device part of the lockfile name are converted to lower
case letters; for example, ``LCK..ttyA01'' is converted to
``LCK..ttya01''. This upper-to-lower case conversion is useful for systems
such as SCO where the convention is to name devices with
upper-case letters, but create lockfiles with lower-case letters.
- VGettyArgs
- A string that indicates whether or not the server should invoke a voice
getty program in response to an incoming voice call. If the string value
is not null, then it is interpreted as a set of arguments to pass to the
vgetty program. Before supplying the arguments, the string is first
scanned for ``%''-escape sequences: any appearance of ``%l'' is replaced
with the tty name and any appearance of ``%s'' is replaced with the serial
port speed (in decimal). Any appearance of escaped numbers 1 through 9
(``%1'' through ``%9'') are replaced by the match to the corresponding
CallIDPattern, if present. The ``%'' character can be specified
with ``%%''. If the VGettyArgs parameter is not specified in the
configuration file or if the string value is null, then voice connections
will be rejected. Note that in addition to the specified command line
arguments, the vgetty program is invoked with its standard input,
output, and error descriptors directed to the controlling tty device.
- WedgedCmd¹
- The command to invoke when a modem is deemed ``wedged''; see
wedged(8).
This section lists configuration parameters that are specific to
the setup and operation of the modem. All commands must be specified
exactly as they are to be transmitted to the modem (note that this is a
departure from previous versions of this software that automatically
prepended ``AT'' to each line of commands sent to the modem). When
multi-line commands are required, enclose the commands in quote marks
(``"'') and insert a newline character ``\n'' where lines should be
broken. An example of a multi-line command string is
``AT+FCQ=1\nAT+FBADMUL=20\nAT+FBADLIN=10''.
Command strings sent to the modem may include command escapes that
force the host to alter the DTE-DCE communication rate, the
flow control scheme used between the host and modem, delay for a period of
time, flush input data, and wait for a specific response from the modem. The
following escape codes are interpreted:
Escape Effect
<none> enable no flow control between DTE and DCE
<xon> enable software flow control between DTE and DCE
<rts> enable hardware flow control between DTE and DCE
<2400> set the DCE-DTE baud rate to 2400 bps
<4800> set the DCE-DTE baud rate to 4800 bps
<9600> set the DCE-DTE baud rate to 9600 bps
<19200> set the DCE-DTE baud rate to 19200 bps
<38400> set the DCE-DTE baud rate to 38400 bps
<57600> set the DCE-DTE baud rate to 57600 bps
<76800> set the DCE-DTE baud rate to 76800 bps
<115200> set the DCE-DTE baud rate to 115200 bps
<delay:N> delay N x 10 ms on the host (0 <= N <= 255)
<flush> flush any pending input data from the modem
<waitfor:R> wait for the response R from the modem (see below)
<play:filename> play the specified audio file (see below)
Note that commands to the left of an escape code are sent to the
modem before the associated actions are carried out on the host. This may be
important when changing baud rates, as the result code from a command may be
returned at the new baud rate. Also, beware that not all baud rates are
supported by all systems and modems; the set of baud rates supported by a
host is usually listed in stty(1).
The ``<waitfor:..>'' escape can be used to override the
default behaviour which is to wait for an ``OK'' response to a command sent
to the modem. The possible response codes are:
NOTHING a null response
OK the default response
CONNECT ``CONNECT...''
NOANSWER ``NO ANSWER...''
NOCARRIER ``NO CARRIER...''
NODIALTONE ``NO DIALTONE...''
BUSY ``BUSY''
OFFHOOK ``PHONE OFF-HOOK''
RING ``RING...''
ERROR error status from modem
VCON voice connection indicator
OTHER any unrecognized modem response
For example ``ATO\r<waitfor:CONNECT>'' would send ``ATO\r''
to the modem and then wait for a response with a leading ``CONNECT'' in it;
and ``ATS99=2\r<delay:2><flush><waitfor:NOTHING>'' would
send ``ATS99=2\r'' to the modem, delay 20 ms, flush any input from the
modem, and then continue (not wait for any response).
The ``<play:filename>'' escape can be used to play a raw
audio file with a voice modem. This feature can be used, for example, to
play a brief audio message after picking up the line but before answering. A
configuration example may be:
ModemRingResponse: "AT+FCLASS=8;H1\nAT+VSM=131\nAT+VLS=1\nAT+VTX\n<waitfor:CONNECT><play:/sounds/enter-extension.raw><waitfor:OK>AT+VTS=[933,,150]"
ModemAnswerCmd: "<delay:100>AT+FCLASS=1;A"
CallIDPattern: SHIELDED_DTMF
CallIDAnswerLength: 4
In this example using an IS-101 voice-compliant modem, a RING indication from
the modem will cause the modem to be placed in voice mode, set ulaw audio
compression, and via the connected phone line play back the etc/play1.raw
audio file, which may say, "After the tone enter a four-digit extension,
then start the fax." Following the message a tone is played.
- ModemAnswerCmd
- The command to answer the phone. If possible, this command should generate
a result string that identifies whether the incoming call is from a
facsimile, voice, or data modem. Typically this auto-detection is
configured ahead of time; e.g. for Class 2 modems with the ``AT+FAA=1''
command.
- The following table describes how the result codes are interpreted by the
facsimile server.
Result String Default Class 1 Class 2 Class2.0
CONNECT FAX Fax - - - -
CONNECT Data Unknown - -
NO ANSWER No Answer - - -
NO CARRIER No Carrier - - -
NO DIALTONE No Dialtone - - -
ERROR Error - - -
FAX Fax - - -
DATA Data - - -
+FCON - - Fax Fax
+FCO - - Fax Fax
+FDM - - Data Data
+FHNG: - - Error Error
VCON - - Voice Voice
The ``Default'' column indicates the interpretation made for
the result string in either class 1 or 2 unless explicitly overridden.
The ``Class 1'' column indicates result strings handled specially for
modems operating in class 1, the ``Class 2'' column indicates special
handling for modems operating in class 2, and the ``Class 2.0'' column
indicates special handling for modems operating in class 2.0.
Unknown entries imply that interpretation is based on the way in
which the call was answered; if answering is done for an explicit call
type, that type is assumed, otherwise a Fax call is presumed.
- ModemAnswerDataBeginCmd
- The command to send to the modem once a data connection has been
established.
- ModemAnswerDataCmd
- The command to explicitly answer the phone for a data connection. This
command must generate a result string that identifies the incoming call is
from a data modem. If this parameter is not specified or is null, then the
value of ModemAnswerCmd is used instead. See also
AdaptiveAnswer and AnswerRotary.
- ModemAnswerDialCmd
- The command to explicitly answer the phone for a dialed connection. This
command must generate a result string that identifies the incoming call is
from a facsimile modem. If this parameter is not specified or is null,
then the value of ModemAnswerCmd is used instead.
- ModemAnswerFaxBeginCmd
- The command to send to the modem once a facsimile connection has been
established.
- ModemAnswerFaxCmd
- The command to explicitly answer the phone for a facsimile connection.
This command must generate a result string that identifies the incoming
call is from a facsimile modem. If this parameter is not specified or is
null, then the value of ModemAnswerCmd is used instead. See also
AdaptiveAnswer and AnswerRotary.
- ModemAnswerVoiceBeginCmd
- The command to send to the modem once a voice connection has been
established.
- ModemAnswerVoiceCmd
- The command to explicitly answer the phone for a voice connection. This
command must generate a result string that identifies the incoming call is
for voice. If this parameter is not specified or is null, then the value
of ModemAnswerCmd is used instead. See also AdaptiveAnswer
and AnswerRotary.
- ModemAnswerResponseTimeout
- The maximum time, in milliseconds, to wait for a response from the modem
after sending ModemAnswerCmd. Note that you may want to shorten
this value when using the server-based adaptive answer strategy; see
AdaptiveAnswer.
- ModemATCmdDelay
- A delay, in milliseconds, that should be performed before each ``AT''
command string is sent to the modem.
- ModemBaudRateDelay
- The amount of time, in milliseconds, to pause after setting the baud rate
on the serial line. This is only needed for hosts and modems (such as
USRs) where setting the serial line parameters does not take effect
immediately.
- ModemCommaPauseTimeCmd
- The command to set the time, in seconds, that the modem should pause when
encountering a ``,'' modifier in the dialing string.
- ModemDialCmd
- The command to place a phone call. The string is assumed to be suitable
for use as a parameter to the sprintf(3S) function; so the ``%''
character should be escaped as ``%%''. The dial command must include a
single ``%s'' where the number that is to be dialed is to be substituted.
Facilities such as tone or pulse dialing, outgoing prefixes to route
though a PBX, and so on should be included in the dialing command string.
It is also important that, if possible, a trailing ``@'' symbol should be
included so that the modem returns result codes that distinguish between
no answer and no carrier. Use of the ``@'' permits the server to reduce
the probability that a wrong number is continually redialed. If the modem
does not support this facility, then it may be necessary to raise the
number of retries done when a ``NO CARRIER'' result is returned.
- ModemDialResponseTimeout
- The maximum time to wait, in milliseconds, for a response from the modem
after sending This value should be longer than the timeout programmed into
the modem through the ModemWaitTimeCmd parameter. This additional
server-based timeout is provided to guard against modems that can ``lock
up'' when dialing the telephone.
- ModemDoPhaseCDebug
- Whether or not to query the modem for responses during image data
transmission. Normally the modem should not produce any responses during
Phase C data transmission. However, in some debugging scenarios (i.e. some
Class 2.1 modems may show debugging information) it may be appropriate to
query the modem for responses during the data transmission.
- ModemDTRDropDelay
- The time, in milliseconds, to pause between placing DTR OFF
and DTR ON while resetting a modem. This value should be at
least equal to the time-value of the analogous S-register, usually
S25.
- ModemEchoOffCmd
- The command to disable echoing of commands sent to the modem.
- ModemFlowControl
- The type of flow control to use between DTE and DCE; one of
``NONE'', ``XONXOFF'' and ``RTSCTS''. This value is used to select the
string sent to the modem to initially establish DTE-DCE
flow control; one of ModemNoFlowCmd, ModemSoftFlowCmd, and
ModemHardFlowCmd. The current flow control setting is also used to
select the appropriate flow control command to send to the modem when the
software switches to Class 1, 2, or 2.0; see Class1HFLOCmd,
Class1NFLOCmd, Class1SFLOCmd, Class2HFLOCmd,
Class2NFLOCmd, and Class2SFLOCmd.
- The server supports both software and hardware flow control for Class 1,
Class 2, and Class 2.0 modems. Whether to use hardware or software flow
control depends on the capabilities of the modem and the host hardware and
operating system. Communication rates above 9600 baud often require that
hardware flow control be used for reliable DTE-DCE
communication. However, beware that many modems only support software flow
control when sending or receiving facsimile.
- Note that modems usually support software flow control even if they have
no explicit AT-command to activate it; in this case it is switched on when
the modem enters fax mode, having AT+FCLASS=... from DTE.
- ModemFrameFillOrder
- The bit order to expect for received HDLC frames and to use
when formulating HDLC frames to send. This value may be
either LSB2MSB when bits are ordered from
least-significant-bit to most-significant-bit (as in the
CCITT specification) or MSB2LSB when bits
are ordered in the reverse direction.
- ModemHardFlowCmd
- The command to setup hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control between
DTE and DCE.
- ModemMinSpeed
- The minimum acceptable signalling rate for transmitting facsimile page
data. Possible values are: 2400, 4800, 7200, 9600, 12200, and 14400.
- ModemMfrQueryCmd
- The command to send to the modem to get the manufacturer identification
string. If this parameter is not set, then it is initialized to
``AT+FMFR?'' for Class 2 modems, or to ``AT+FMI?'' for Class 2.0 modems,
or to ``ATI3'' for Class 1 modems. If the parameter begins with a ``!'',
then the remainder of the string is taken to be the identification string
and no command is issued to the modem.
- ModemModelQueryCmd
- The command to send to the modem to get the model identification string.
If this parameter is not set, then it is initialized to to ``AT+FMDL?''
for Class 2 modems, or to ``AT+FMM?'' for Class 2.0 modems, or to ``ATI0''
for Class 1 modems. If the parameter begins with a ``!'', then the
remainder of the string is taken to be the identification string and no
command is issued to the modem.
- ModemNoAutoAnswerCmd
- The command to stop the modem from automatically answering when the phone
rings.
- ModemNoAutoAnswerCmdDelay
- The time, in milliseconds, to pause after receiving the OK following
ModemNoAutoAnswerCmd before any further commands are sent to the
modem. All input from the modem is flushed after pausing.
- ModemNoFlowCmd
- The command to disable flow control between DTE and
DCE.
- ModemOnHookCmd
- The command to place the phone ``on hook'' (i.e. hangup).
- ModemPageDoneTimeout
- The maximum time to wait, in milliseconds, for a response from the modem
after sending a page of facsimile data (e.g. the time to wait for a
response to a Class 2/2.0 AT+FET command).
- ModemPageStartTimeout
- The maximum time to wait, in milliseconds, for an initial response from
the modem when sending a page of facsimile data (e.g. the time to wait for
a response to a Class 2/2.0 AT+FDR command).
- ModemRaiseATCommands
- Indicates whether or not all configuration AT commands for the modem
should be raised to upper-case automatically. The standard is for all
upper-case to be used in AT commands, and indeed, some rare modems have
been known to malfunction with lower-case commands. However, sometimes an
administrator may want to use lower-case commands in a rare condition such
as to work around modem blacklisting of dialed numbers.
- ModemRate
- The baud rate to use for DCE-DTE communication. This value may be one of:
115200, 76800, 57600, 38400, 19200, 9600, 4800, 2400, 1200. The default
value is 19200 because many modems lock the rate at 19200 when sending or
receiving facsimile. Note that not all values are supported by all
operating systems and modems; consult stty(1) for the available
rates on your system.
- ModemReadyCmds
- A string of commands to issue to the modem during reception
initialization. This string is sent to the modem after the standard
set of configuration commands required by the fax server. This is done,
for example, to un-busy a DID line so that calls can come through.
- ModemRecvFillOrder
- The bit order to expect for received facsimile data. This value may be
either LSB2MSB when bits are ordered from
least-significant-bit to most-significant-bit (as in the
CCITT specification) or MSB2LSB when bits
are ordered in the reverse direction. According to the various
specifications all modems should return data in LSB2MSB
order. However most Class 2 modems (except maybe only Multitech) use
MSB2LSB for compatibility with modems that were built with
Rockwell hardware/firmware that included a bug that was too widespread to
correct.
- If this parameter is not set, then it is autodetected and set to
LSB2MSB for Class 1 and Class 2.0 modems and
MSB2LSB for non-Multitech Class 2 modems. However this may
be wrong for your modem, so you will have to specify this parameter
explicitly.
- ModemRecvSuccessCmd
- A string of commands to issue to the modem after a successful receive
session before the call is disconnected.
- ModemResetCmds
- A string of commands to issue to the modem during initialization. This
string is sent to the modem before the standard set of
configuration commands required by the fax server. Note that these
commands should not include normal reset commands that are
specified through other parameters. For example, commands to setup
flow control, DCD handling, DTR handling,
etc. should be specified through the appropriate configuration parameters
and not through this parameter. In addition the soft reset command
(usually ``ATZ'') should not be included in this string; the servers issue
this command explicitly.
- ModemResetDelay
- The time, in milliseconds, to pause after setting DTR ON,
while resetting a modem. DTR ON does not respond with
``OK'', so this parameter should be long enough to allow the modem time to
be ready for ModemSoftResetCmd successively.
- ModemResultCodesCmd
- The command to enable result codes.
- ModemRevQueryCmd
- The command to send to the modem to get a firmware revision identification
string. If this parameter is not set, then it is initialized to
``AT+FREV?'' for Class 2 modems, or to ``AT+FMR?'' for Class 2.0 modems.
If the parameter begins with a ``!'', then the remainder of the string is
taken to be the identification string and no command is issued to the
modem.
- ModemSendBeginCmd
- The command to send to the modem upon establishing carrier during a
transmit operation. This parameter is useful for systems that are
incapable of enabling hardware flow control without DCD
asserted.
- ModemSendFillOrder
- The bit order the modem expects for transmitted facsimile data. This value
may be either LSB2MSB or MSB2LSB (see also
ModemRecvFillOrder above.) Virtually all modems expect transmitted
facsimile data in LSB2MSB bit order.
- ModemSetVolumeCmd
- The commands to use to set the modem speaker volume levels. There should
be five whitespace-separated commands, one each for setting the volume to
``Off'', ``Quiet'', ``Low'', ``Medium'', and ``High''; the default is
``"ATM0 ATL0M1 ATL1M1 ATL2M1 ATL3M1"''. See also
SpeakerVolume.
- ModemSetupAACmd
- The command to setup adaptive answer support in the modem-if
available. Adaptive answer is the term used for the ability to distinguish
between calls from facsimile, voice, and data sources. Note that this
string is the last command issued by the device drivers during setup, so
the command string may, if necessary, switch to a different operating mode
(e.g. on some Rockwell-based modems it is necessary to issue the
``AT+FAA=1'' command in Class 0).
- ModemSetupDCDCmd
- The command to setup DCD handling. On most systems the
facsimile server will enable the CLOCAL flag on the tty device to which
the modem is connected. This should insure that the system does not close
an open file descriptor associated with the modem if carrier is dropped.
Thus, for most systems and modems ModemSetupDCDCmd should setup
DCD to reflect carrier.
- ModemSetupDTRCmd
- The command to setup DTR handling so that the modem is
reset when the DTR signal is lowered by the host. The
facsimile server uses this facility to insure that modems are not left in
a ``locked up'' state.
- ModemSoftFlowCmd
- The command to setup software (XON/XOFF) flow control between
DTE and DCE.
- ModemSoftResetCmd
- The command to force a soft reset of the modem.
- ModemSoftResetCmdDelay
- The time, in milliseconds, to pause after receiving the OK following
ModemSoftResetCmd before any further commands are sent to the
modem.
- ModemSoftRTFCC
- Whether or not to enable software-driven Real-Time Fax Compression
Conversion. RTFCC allows HylaFAX to convert the image compression between
MH MR and MMR formats regardless of how faxq formatted the image file.
Note that when using RTFCC, the compression format of the file will be
ignored, thus the ``-1'', ``-2'', and ``-3'' options for sendfax, ps2fax,
and others will only influence how the document is prepared by faxq and
will not influence the actual negotiated session parameters.
Class2RTFCC takes precedence over ModemSoftRTFCC and if both
are enabled, then software-driven RTFCC will not be performed in favor of
the firmware-driven RTFCC.
- ModemType
- This parameter must be set to one of: ``Class2'', ``Class2.0'', or
``Class1''; to indicate that the modem is a Class 2-, Class 2.0-, or Class
1-style modem, respectively. If this parameter is not set, then it is
autodetected and the highest supported fax class is used.
- ModemVerboseResultsCmd
- The command to enable verbose, as opposed to numeric, result codes.
- ModemWaitForConnect
- If enabled, the facsimile server will not consider a connection
established when answering an incoming call until a ``CONNECT'' status
string is received. This is useful mainly for Rockwell RC32ACL-based
modems that send ``FAX'' and ``DATA'' status messages before sending
``CONNECT''.
- ModemWaitTimeCmd
- The command to set the number of seconds to wait for a carrier signal when
placing a call or answering the phone.
The following parameters apply to the implementation of the
CCITT T.30 facsimile protocol in the Class 1 device driver.
They should not be changed without full understanding of the operation of
the server.
- FaxT1Timer
- The value of the T1 timer in milliseconds. This timer is
used to time out the initial session contact; i.e. receipt of
DIS/DCS.
- FaxT2Timer
- The value of the T2 timer in milliseconds. This timer is
used to time out receiving responses and commands.
- FaxT4Timer
- The value of the T4 timer in milliseconds. This timer is
used to time out the reception of HDLC frames and, usually,
trigger frame retransmissions.
The following parameters are specific to the configuration of
Class 1-style modems; they should not be changed lightly:
- Class1Cmd
- The command to set the modem into Class 1 operation.
- Class1AdaptRecvCmd
- The command used to enable adaptive reception support (usually
``AT+FAR=1''). This feature is new in T.31, and many modems will not
support it. This feature may reduce the number of reception failures due
to errors cascading from +FCERROR messages.
- Class1ColorJPEGSupport
- Whether or not to enable support for T.30-E full-color facsimile with JPEG
compression. Enabling this automatically enables
Class1GreyJPEGSupport.
- Class1EnableV34Cmd
- The command to enable V.34-fax support with at least the desired maximum
primary channel rate.
- Class1ECMSupport
- Whether or not to support T.30-A error correction protocol. Use of ECM
will require 64 kilobytes of free memory per modem in active use.
- Class1PersistentECM
- Whether or not to continue to retransmit and allow one to continue to
receive image data in ECM protocol which is not accepted as valid after
four successive attempts.
- Class1ECMFrameSize
- The size in bytes of image frames to transmit during ECM protocol. This
setting will also indicate a preference in receive sessions. The only
acceptable values are 64 and 256. A setting of 64 may be useful on
high-load systems and possibly environments with extremely poor line
quality.
- Class1ExtendedRes
- Whether or not to support resolutions other than normal and fine. This
option has been deprecated by Class1Resolutions.
- Class1FrameOverhead
- The number of extraneous bytes in HDLC frames sent to the
host in response to an ``AT+FRH'' command. For modems that properly
implement the Class 1 interface, this number should be 4 (the
default).
- Class1GreyJPEGSupport
- Whether or not to enable support for T.30-E greyscale facsimile with JPEG
compression. This is always enabled if Class1ColorJPEGSupport is
enabled.
- Class1HookSensitivity
- The number of times to ignore on-hook detections and merely treat them as
command or modem errors.
- Class1JBIGSupport
- Whether or not to enable support for T.85 monochrome facsimile with JBIG
compression. Options are ``true'' for support in both sending and
receiving, ``false'' for no support, ``send'' for support only in sending,
and ``receive'' for support only in receiving. If, during the build
process a compatible JBIG library was found then send support is enabled
by default. If, during the build process the TIFF tools are found to
support JBIG then receive support is enabled by default.
- Class1HasRHConnectBug
- A Class 1 modem should only report CONNECT after AT+FRH=3 when V.21 HDLC
data is detected. However, some modems will incorrectly report CONNECT
after AT+FRH=3 whenever any carrier is present. In such cases
Class1HasRHConnectBug should be set to ``true''.
- Class1HFLOCmd
- The command to setup hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control between
DTE and DCE when operating in Class 1. This
command is issued immediately after sending the Class1Cmd to switch
the modem to Class 1 operation.
- Class1MRSupport
- Whether or not to enable support for two-dimensional Modified Read (MR)
image data format compression.
- Class1MMRSupport
- Whether or not to enable support for two-dimensional Modified Modified
Read (MMR) image data format compression. Note that MMR support requires
also ECM support to be enabled.
- Class1NFLOCmd
- The command to setup no flow control between DTE and
DCE when operating in Class 1. This command is issued
immediately after sending the Class1Cmd to switch the modem to
Class 1 operation.
- Class1PageLengthSupport
- The coded value for page lengths supported by the modem. The only correct
values and meanings are these: ``1'', A4 page length; ``3'', both A4 and
B4 page length; ``7'', unlimited page length.
- Class1PageWidthSupport
- The coded value for page widths supported by the modem. The only correct
values and meanings are these: ``1'', A4 page width; ``3'', both A4 and B4
page width; ``7'', all of A4, B4, and A3 page widths.
- Class1PPMWaitCmd
- The command used to stop and wait before sending the post page message,
except before sending EOP, when Class1EOPWaitCmd is used instead.
We must ensure that the high-speed carrier has stopped completely.
According to T.30, Chapter 5, Note 4, this delay should be 75 +/- 20
ms.
- Class1ResponseWaitCmd
- The command used to stop and wait after sending TCF, before attempting to
receive a training response from the remote. Set this to ``AT+FRS=1'' if
you experience ``DIS/DTC received 3 times'' errors.
- Class1Resolutions
- A bitmapped (bit-or'd) value indicating the resolutions to be supported
during facsimile operation. Individual resolutions follow Table 21/T.32
and are defined as follows:
Bit Description
0 (0x00) R8 x 3.85 l/mm, Normal
1 (0x01) R8 x 7.7 l/mm, Fine
2 (0x02) R8 x 15.4 l/mm, Superfine
4 (0x04) R16 x 15.4 l/mm, Hyperfine
8 (0x08) 200 dpi x 100 l/inch
16 (0x10) 200 dpi x 200 l/inch
32 (0x20) 200 dpi x 400 l/inch
64 (0x40) 300 dpi x 300 l/inch
Thus, a value of 3 would indicate support for normal, fine, and superfine
resolutions.
- Class1RMQueryCmd
- The command to send to the modem to get the list of supported reception
bit-rates. If the parameter begins with a ``!'', then the remainder of the
string is taken to be the modem response and no command is issued to the
modem.
- Class1TCFWaitCmd
- The command used to stop and wait before sending TCF, similar to
Class1PPMWaitCmd. According to T.30, Chapter 5, Note 3, this delay
should be 75 +/- 20 ms.
- Class1TMQueryCmd
- The command to send to the modem to get the list of supported transmission
bit-rates. If the parameter begins with a ``!'', then the remainder of the
string is taken to be the modem response and no command is issued to the
modem.
- Class1EOPWaitCmd
- The command used to stop and wait before sending the post page message
similar to Class1PPMWaitCmd. We allow a different setting in the
case of EOP, however, because empirically some machines may need more
time.
- Class1ModemHasDLEBug
- Used to indicate that the modem does not correctly duplicate DLE
characters in the V.21 communication to the DTE.
- Class1MsgRecvHackCmd
- If receive failures occur due to +FCERROR just prior to image data
reception, setting Class1MsgRecvHackCmd to AT+FRS=1 may help.
- Class1RecvAbortOK
- The time, in milliseconds, to wait for an ``OK'' result code from the
modem after aborting an HDLC frame receive (``AT+FRH=3'').
If this number is zero, then the modem is assumed to not correctly
implement aborting and instead the driver will wait 200ms, flush any
input, and then send ``AT\n'' and wait 100ms for an ``OK'' result.
- Class1RecvIdentTimer
- The time, in milliseconds, to wait for an initial DCS when
receiving a facsimile. CCITT recommendation
T.30 specifies this as the value of the T1
timer. However, adaptive answering schemes such as that described above
under the AdaptiveAnswer parameter may require that this timer be
shortened.
- Class1RMPersistence
- The number of times that an attempt to receive the high-speed data carrier
should be made, resulting in +FCERROR, before the low-speed message
carrier reception is attempted. Some modems are quick to (perhaps
incorrectly) return +FCERROR, and for those modems a value of 2 or 3
should be used. For modems that are not quick to return +FCERROR, a value
of 1 should be used. Proper tuning of this can provide a type of
"adaptive reception control" for modems that accurately return
+FCERROR without supporting Class1AdaptRecvCmd. For those modems
that support Class1AdaptRecvCmd, Class1RMPersistence should
probably not be set at 1, although +FCERROR should almost never occur with
such modems.
- If the modem does not support the reporting of +FCERROR or adaptive
reception control, then Class1RMPersistence should probably be set
at 0, which causes the timeout looking for the high-speed data carrier to
be shortened, thus increasing the likelihood of recovery from any
dissynchronization. When Class1RMPersistence is other than 0 it is
assumed that the +FCERROR reporting or Class1AdaptRecvCmd is
functional and therefore the timeout looking for the high-speed data
carrier is lengthened.
- Class1SwitchingCmd
- The command used to ensure that the sending facsimile device has turned
off its modulator (i.e. loss-of-carrier) as recommended by T.31: Appendix
II.1.
- Class1SFLOCmd
- The command to setup software (XON/XOFF) flow control between
DTE and DCE when operating in Class 1. This
command is issued immediately after sending the Class1Cmd to switch
the modem to Class 1 operation.
- Class1TCFMaxNonZero
- The maximum percentage of non-zero data bytes permitted in an acceptable
received TCF. Note that this number does not include any
leading non-zero data in the received data. See also
Class1TCFMinRun.
- Class1TCFMinRun
- The duration, in milliseconds, of the minimum run of zero data in an
acceptable received TCF. This value should be specified
according to a 1.5 second transmission of zero data (i.e. it should be
between 0 and 1500). See also Class1TCFMaxNonZero and
Class1TCFMinRunECMMod.
- Class1TCFMinRunECMMod
- The factor by which Class1TCFMinRun should be modified in the case
of an ECM session. As ECM protocol allows retransmissions it is commonly
faster to accept a lesser-quality data stream and the subsequent
retransmisisons than it is to allow the communication speed to slow down
(where the demodulation may still not produce an ideal data stream,
anyway).
- Class1TCFRecvHackCmd
- If receive failures occur due to +FCERROR just prior to TCF data
reception, setting Class1TCFRecvHackCmd to AT+FRS=1 may help.
- Class1TCFRecvTimeout
- The maximum time to wait, in milliseconds, for the first byte and again
for the entirety of the Training Check (TCF) message data
that is received during the training phase of the facsimile reception
protocol.
- Class1TMConnectDelay
- The time, in milliseconds, to delay after receiving CONNECT following +FTM
before sending image data. T.31 8.3.3 requires the modem to respond with
CONNECT before the modulation training pattern. If transmission begins
before the remote has successfully completed its own modulation training
pattern then data, especially during TCF, could be lost. Many modems do
not follow T.31 in this regard, and thus the default is zero; however its
use with such modems would likely have a negligible effect.
- Class1ValidateV21Frames
- Whether or not to use the FCS bits of received V.21 HDLC frames to check
the validity of the frame itself. Most Class 1 modems perform this check
independently (per T.31 7.4) and do not require this feature to be
enabled.
The following parameters are specific to the configuration of
Class 2- and Class 2.0-style modems:
- Class2Cmd
- The command to set the modem into Class 2/2.0 operation.
- Class2AbortCmd
- The command to use to abort an established session. After using this
command to abort a session, the fax software will send
ModemOnHookCmd and then reset the modem by dropping DTR
.
- Class2APCmd
- A largely unused option for modems supporting ITU-T.32, Class 2.1,
standards. This command would be used to enable sending and receiving SUB,
SEP, and PWD frames.
- Class2APQueryCmd
- A largely unused option for modems supporting ITU-T.32, Class 2.1,
standards. This command would be used to query the capabilities of sending
and receiving SUB, SEP, and PWD frames. The value ``none'' may be used if
the modem does not support any Class2APQueryCmd.
- Class2BORCmd
- The command to setup the bit order of sent and received facsimile data.
Usually the command ``AT+FBOR=0'' is used so that data is sent and
received in direct bit order (LSB2MSB). Some modems, such as the
Everex 24/96D, must use reversed bit order for Phase B and D data
exchanges to avoid a bug that results in garbage data being placed in the
padding of EOL codes. The bit order specified by this
command must correspond to the settings of the ModemSendFillOrder
and ModemRecvFillOrder parameters.
- Class2BUGCmd
- The command to use to enable or disable the tracing of HDLC
frames sent and received by the modem. This tracing information should be
returned to the host in ``+FHR:'' and ``+FHT:'' status strings. Note that
many Class 2 modems do not support this facility, which is largely used
for diagnostic purposes. The value ``none'' may be used if the modem does
not support any Class2BUGCmd.
- Class2CIGCmd
- The command used to set a polling identifier. This string is inserted into
the format ``%s="<id>"''.
- Class2CQCmd
- The command to use to set up parameters for copy quality checking. For
example, for an Everex 24/96D modem this parameter might be set to
``AT+FCQ=1\nAT+FBADMUL=20\nAT+FBADLIN=10''. Class2CQCmd should be
configured to set-up all available copy quality services available per
Class2CQQueryCmd. To disable features that are available, configure
Class2CQQueryCmd with a ``!'', and then set Class2CQCmd
accordingly.
- Class2CQQueryCmd
- The command to send to the modem to get the copy quality capabilities
string. If the parameter begins with a ``!'', then the remainder of the
string is taken to be the capabilities string and no command is issued to
the modem; this can be used together with the Class2CQCmd to force
copy quality checking to be done in the server instead of in the modem.
See also PercentGoodLines and MaxConsecutiveBadLines for
parameters used to do server copy quality checking. If copy quality
checking is configured to be done by the modem then it is not done by the
server.
- Class2CRCmd
- The command to use to enable the reception of facsimile.
- Class2DCCCmd
- The command used to set modem capabilities. This string is inserted into
the format ``%s=vr,br,wd,ln,df,ec,bf,st''.
- Class2DCCQueryCmd
- The command to send to the modem to get the Class 2/2.0 capabilities. If
the parameter begins with a ``!'', then the remainder of the string is
taken to be the capabilities string and no command is issued to the
modem.
- Class2DDISCmd
- The command to set session parameters before dialing. This string is
inserted into the format ``%s=vr,br,wd,ln,df,ec,bf,st''. Setting this
parameter enables support for Class 2 modems that do not properly
implement the ``AT+FDIS'' command by setting up session parameters before
dialing the telephone.
- Class2DISCmd
- The command used to set the current session parameters. This string is
inserted into the format ``%s=vr,br,wd,ln,df,ec,bf,st''.
- Class2ECMType
- The interpretation of the EC parameter in the modem DCC response varies
between the Class 2, ``2'', and Class 2.0, ``2.0'', specifications. This
configuration parameter allows the administrator to specify which type to
use. The corresponding specification type is used by default.
- Class2HexNSF
- Whether or not to parse the NSF strings reported by the modem using
hexadecimal values. By default, they are parsed as hexadecimal
values.
- Class2HFLOCmd
- The command to setup hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control between
DTE and DCE when operating in Class 2/2.0.
This command is issued immediately after sending the Class2Cmd to
switch the modem to Class 2/2.0 operation. For Class 2.0 operation the
default is ``AT+FLO=2''.
- Class2JPEGSupport
- Whether or not to enable and utilize the JPEG support found in the
modem.
- Class2LIDCmd
- The command used to set the local identifier string. This string is
inserted into the format ``%s="<id>"''
- Class2MINSPCmd
- The command used to set the minimum acceptable speed to be negotiated for
transmitting page data. This string is inserted into the format
``%s=<speed>''
- Class2NFLOCmd
- The command to setup no flow control between DTE and
DCE when operating in Class 2/2.0. This command is issued
immediately after sending the Class2Cmd to switch the modem to
Class 2 operation. For Class 2.0 operation the default is
``AT+FLO=0''.
- Class2NRCmd
- (Class 2.0 only) The command to setup negotiation message
reporting. For the correct operation of the Class 2.0 driver this command
must enable the reporting of: receiver parameters, transmitter parameters,
and ID strings. It is not necessary to enable reporting of non-standard
frames for correct operation of the Class 2.0 driver.
- Class2PACmd
- A largely unused option for modems supporting ITU-T.32, Class 2.1,
standards. This command would be used to set up the polling address string
enabled by the Class2APCmd.
- Class2PHCTOCmd
- The command to use to set the Phase C timeout parameter (in seconds). The
value ``none'' may be used if the modem does not support any
Class2PHCTOCmd.
- Class2PIECmd
- (Class 2.0 only) The command to use to control procedure interrupt
handling. Procedure interrupts should be disabled because HylaFAX
does not provide a mechanism for dispatching procedure interrupts to an
administrator.
- Class2PTSCmd
- The command to use to set the received page status code. When copy quality
checking is done in the host, this command may be used to control the
post-page response delivered to the sender. Beware that some modems do not
properly implement this command in which case the server should be
configured to not do copy quality check: see the PercentGoodLines
and MaxConsecutiveBadLines parameters to understand how to defeat
copy quality checking.
- Class2PTSQueryCmd
- The command to use to query the received page status code. This command
may be used to determine the post-page response returned from the
receiver. Beware that some modems do not properly implement this command
in which case this setting should be set to ``none''.
- Class2PWCmd
- A largely unused option for modems supporting ITU-T.32, Class 2.1,
standards. This command would be used to set up the password string
enabled by the Class2APCmd.
- Class2RecvDataTrigger
- The character to send to the modem to trigger the transmission of received
data from the modem to the host. This character is specified to be
DC1 (octal 21) in the draft specification 2388-A and
DC2 (octal 22) in the 2388-B specification. Most Class 2
modems accept DC1 or both DC1 and
DC2. Some modems however only accept DC2.
Note that string parameters may use C-style escape sequences, so
DC2, for example, would be specified as
``"\022"''.
- Class2RELCmd
- The command to use to enable the delivery of byte-aligned
EOL codes in received facsimile. If this parameter is
defined, then received facsimile data will be marked to indicate that
EOL codes are byte-aligned; otherwise they will be marked
as not (necessarily) having byte-aligned codes.
- Class2RTFCC
- Whether or not to enable MultiTech's Real-Time Fax Compression Conversion
which is available in later firmware revisions for the MT5634ZBA-V92,
MT5634ZPX-PCI-V92, and other models. RTFCC allows HylaFAX to convert the
image compression between MH MR and MMR formats regardless of how faxq
formatted the image file. If RTFCC is available with your firmware, then
the response to ``AT+FFC=?'' is non-zero. Note that when using RTFCC, the
compression format of the file will be ignored, thus the ``-1'', ``-2'',
and ``-3'' options for sendfax, ps2fax, and others will not influence the
actual negotiated session parameters.
- Class2SACmd
- A largely unused option for modems supporting ITU-T.32, Class 2.1,
standards. This command would be used to set up the destination subaddress
string enabled by the Class2APCmd.
- Class2SendRTC
- Whether or not to append an explicit ``Return To Control'' (RTC) signal to
the page data when transmitting. The Class 2 and Class 2.0 specs (i.e.
SP-2388-A and TIA/EIA-592) state that the modem will append
RTC when it receives the post-page message command from the
host; this parameter is provided in case the modem does not correctly
implement this.
- Class2SFLOCmd
- The command to setup software (XON/XOFF) flow control between
DTE and DCE when operating in Class 2/2.0.
This command is issued immediately after sending the Class2Cmd to
switch the modem to Class 2/2.0 operation. For Class 2.0 operation the
default is ``AT+FLO=1''.
- Class2SPLCmd
- The command to use to enable a polling request. The value ``none'' may be
used if the modem does not support any Class2SPLCmd.
- Class2TBCCmd
- The command to use to enable stream-mode communication between the host
and modem. The value ``none'' may be used if the modem does not support
any Class2TBCCmd.
- Class2UseLineCount
- Whether or not to use the line count reported to HylaFAX by the modem
firmware decoder.
- Class2UseHex
- Whether or not to parse the capabilities strings reported by the modem
using hexadecimal values. By default, they are parsed as decimal
values.
- Class2XmitWaitForXON
- Whether or not to wait for an XON character from the modem
before sending facsimile data to the modem for transmission. Note that
this is only relevant for modems that conform to the Class 2 spec (i.e.
SP-2388-A). The Class 2.0 specification states that the host may transmit
data immediately upon receiving CONNECT and that no
XON character will be sent to the host.
The following parameters are specific to the configuration and
operation of the IXO/TAP and UCP support for sending pager messages and GSM
SM. Parameter not used for UCP are marked with ``(IXO/TAP
only)''.
- The commands to send to a modem to prepare the modem for a call to pager
service provider. Typically these commands place direct the modem to
communicate with the service provider at 300 bps using the V.21 protocol.
Per-service provider command strings can be setup in the info database;
see hylafax-info(5).
- The maximum length for a pager text message. Messages longer than this
number are truncated. Per-service provider message lengths can be setup in
the info database; see hylafax-info(5).
- IXOService
- (IXO/TAP only) The service identification string transmitted as
part of the IXO/TAP protocol.
- IXODeviceID
- (IXO/TAP only) The terminal device identification string
transmitted as part of the IXO/TAP protocol.
- IXOMaxUnknown
- The maximum number of unrecognized messages that will be accepted at
various stages of the IXO/TAP protocol before the sender
will abort and hangup the phone.
- IXOIDProbe
- (IXO/TAP only) The time, in seconds, between sending a ``\r''
during the initial ID recognition sequence of the IXO/TAP
protocol.
- IXOIDTimeout
- (IXO/TAP only) The maximum time, in seconds, to wait for the
initial ID response from the service provider.
- IXOLoginRetries
- (IXO/TAP only) The maximum number of attempts to login to a service
provider.
- IXOLoginTimeout
- (IXO/TAP only) The maximum time, in seconds, to wait to complete
the login procedure.
- IXOGATimeout
- (IXO/TAP only) The maximum time, in seconds, to wait for a Go-Ahead
message from the service provider.
- IXOXmitRetries
- The maximum number of times to try sending a text message block in a
single call.
- IXOXmitTimeout
- The maximum time, in seconds, to try transmitting a text message
block.
- IXOAckTimeout
- (IXO/TAP only) integer 30 IXO: max time to wait for msg block ack
(secs) The maximum time, in seconds, to wait for an acknowledgement to a
transmitted message.
Per-modem configuration files are typically derived from prototype
files that have been created for known modems. These prototype files are
kept in the config subdirectory and, by convention, have names that
identify a brand or type of modem and the DTE-DCE flow
control scheme the prototype files configures. The faxaddmodem(8)
program that is used to configure a modem for use with HylaFAX
selects a prototype configuration file using information retrieved from the
modem and comments embedded in the prototype files. For Class 1 modems the
product ID code returned by the command ``ATI0'' and the response from the
command ``ATI3'' are used to select a prototype configuration file, while
for Class 2 modems the manufacturer and model as returned by ``AT+FMFR?''
and ``AT+FMDL?'', respectively, are used (or ``AT+FMI?'' and ``AT+FMM?'' for
Class 2.0 modems).
A Class 1 prototype configuration file is identified for use by
faxaddmodem by searching for a comment of the form:
# CONFIG:CLASS1:144:.*:RTSCTS: Manufacturer='AT&T' Model=Dataport
In this example ``144'' is the product ID code for an AT&T DataPort modem,
``.*'' is a regular expression matched against the result string returned by
the ``ATI3'' command, and ``RTSCTS'' indicates the modem is configured to use
hardware flow control during fax operation. The remainder of the line is
evaluated by the sh(1) and used to specify the modem's manufacturer and
model (since Class 1 modems do not have standard commands to query this
information).
Class 2 and 2.0 prototype configuration files match the string
``manufacturer-model-flowcontrol'' against a
sh(1) glob pattern specified in the configuration file, where
manufacturer and model are the strings returned by querying
the modem and flowcontrol is either ``RTSCTS'' for hardware flow
control or ``XONXOFF'' for software flow control. For example:
# CONFIG: CLASS2: ZyXEL*-RTSCTS
# CONFIG: CLASS2.0: USRobotics*-XONXOFF
are configuration comments that appear in the prototype file for a
ZyXEL 1496E with Class 2 support, and for a US Robotics Courier modem with
Class 2.0 firmware.
The faxaddmodem program merges server-specific
configuration parameters into a prototype configuration according to
comments placed in the prototype file. All lines between ``BEGIN-SERVER''
and ``END-SERVER'' comments are placed with the appropriate server
configuration parameters. Note that this means modem-related configuration
parameters must be placed outside this area of the file.
