FHNG -6

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi,

I received in about 50% of the case the following logs while receiving a
fax.
My modem is a generic rockwell chipset OEM modem.
I followed the Rockwell hints to use a switchbd to 19200 in mgetty.config.
But the log (down there) said the contrary.

I can receive fax fine from a fax sent by a fax modem, but some regular fax
machine has problem talking to my current setup.

Any hints?

My fax deamon log:

An incoming fax transmission failed (+FHNG: -6):
Sender ID:
Pages received: 0

Modem device: ttyS1

Communication parameters:
    Resolution : normal
    Bit Rate   : 2400
    Page Width : 1728 pixels
    Page Length: A4 (297 mm)
    Compression: 0 (1d mod Huffman)
    Error Corr.: none
    Scan Time  : 0

The fax receive was *not* fully successful
The Modem returned +FHNG: -6
   (TIMEOUT waiting for modem response (int.))


regards, your modem subsystem
