Airport and Fax through DSL

Hi
I would occasionally like to receive a fax through my computer. I would know ahead of time the fax was coming. I may or may not want to print the fax after I've viewed it. I have a dual G5 operating OS 10.4.10 connected to the internet through airport and an Actiontec DSL modem. I've read the help topics, fooled around a bit and searched various forums but I can't figure out if this is possible. Would it make a difference if I unplugged the ethernet cord leading from the DSL from the Airport and plugged it directly into the computer when I knew a fax was coming? If it's possible how would I set it up? Would I have to somehow disconnect from server to do it?
Any help is appreciated,
Ray

The AirPort Express (AX) has no ability to receive or send FAXes. None of Apple's base stations have that ability.
Connecting the DSL Ethernet output of the DSL modem to your Mac won't work. The Mac's FAX software is expecting a FAX to come in via analog telephone line.
You might want to check out an internet FAX service like eFax.

  • How to use iMac w/Airport and DSL connection as a wireless router ???

    My iMac G5 (with Airport) is connected via Ethernet to a DSL modem.
    I want to connect my iBook G3 (non-Airport) wirelessly through the G5 to access the internet in a small home network, (without a standalone router).
    I have a USB adapter (ASUS wl-167G) and MAC OS drivers for the iBook. I seem to be getting a connection to the Airport card in the G5, but nothing to the modem with Safari or Firefox.
    I need some detailed instructions on setting up the iMac to access the DSL normally AND pass through a wireless connection for the iBook.
    Future plans are to buy an Airport Express for stereo and printer purposes.
    If using the Express will greatly simplify what I'm trying to do here, please advise so, (and how), and I'll get one now.
    Thanks
    Ken

    Thanks sig, but I am already set up that way. Also in sharing>internet>
    Airport options: channel-automatic, firewall-off, services-on (file sharing,Etc.)
    Network Status shows: Built -in -Ethernet, active and a IP address. Airport, sharing is on and using Airport and an ID #
    I also tried setting Airport to channel 11 (what the USB "Dongle" is connected to).
    Still no joy.
    I think I may need to manually configure both Airport TCP/IP in the iMac, and the USB Adapter in the iBook but I don't know what values to enter for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Router.
    In way over my head, here. Any additional help is greatly appreciated.

  • No Internet via Airport Extreme and Speedtouch Ethernet DSL modem

    I've recently purchased a McBook pro and wanted to create a wireless network. I have a new Airport Extreme Base Station and have successfully set that up, but with no internet connection!
    I can get a perfect connection by hardwiring either of my machines to the DSL Modem directly (via Ethernet cable), but when i connect the Airport Extreme to the DSL Modem via ethernet there is no internet.
    After a bit of research i'm wondering if there is a "bridge" issue... though i have no idea what that means or how to resolve it. Can anyone help?
    Details:
    Airport Extreme 802.11n
    Speedtouch DSL Modem (Thomson ST510 v6)
    G5 Power PC Tower (10.4.11) will connect to the Airport Extreme via ethernet, currently connects to the DSL modem via ethernet.
    MacBook Pro (10.6.4) will connect wirelessly. can currently connect to the internet through the DSL modem via ethernet.
    Dynamic IP via ISP connection via PPPoa

    Hi Steven, I know this question has been answered and is a couple of months old but I think you may be able to help with my set up? I have a Thomson speedtouch 510 v6 modem router provided by Karoo (UK). My other Belkin N modem router has just bust [again] so the Speedtouch is my old faithful backup device. Now, i've never been able to get on ichat with the Belkin as its a mimo n speed and this is apparently not compatible; So i'm now on ethernet with the st510 and have just set up ports for ichat thanks to a thread called http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2719419&#2719419.
    What I want to know from you (because I really need a wireless router to get me off this ethernet support system and back on airport) is how you're getting on with the st510 / airport extreme combo now and can you use ichat on it? If so does your connection doctor say full cone in network settings or something else? As I say, I really want to use ichat and have never been able to in 3 years of owning my Macbook Pro. Hope to hear back from you Steven. Regards Steph

  • Syncing iphone and computer through Airport Express?

    Hi,
    I have a 3G iPhone, a MacBook Pro and an Airport Express. I was wondering if I could sync my calendar and contacts through the airport express (wirelessly) instead of actually connecting the the two by USB cable? I can control iTunes via my iPhone so I should also be able to get them syncing stuff like iCal and Contacts na?
    thanks

    I forgot to mention my limited knowledge of iphone technology - so I have no clue what your answer means.  I literally need someone to walk me through this step by step.

  • I was setting up my Airport and thought the first set up did not go through, so I set up again and I ended up with two accounts instead of one.  How can I manage to have only one account now? Thanks for the help.

    I was setting up my Airport and thought the first set up dod not go through, then I set up again and ended up with two wireless accounts.  I use it for the prointer and the iPad, and I can see both accounts in the iPad.  How do I get rid of one account?  Thanks for the help!

    me.com accounts can be used for iCloud.  See the FAQ section in:

    but it may be too late if you have already created a new AppleID.
    A few years ago Apple said they were working on allowing account merging, but it never happened (maybe objections from copyright holders).

  • Airport Extreme and AT&T DSL Modem Settings?

    I have given up!  Switched from Time Warner CAble Modem Internet connection with my AEBS network after 3 years without problems.  Moved and had to switch and get AT&T DSL High Speed Internet using their Modem (WESTELL REV: S, ADSL2+ ROUTER).  Ever since self-installing this "system", I have been totally unable to use my wireless network to connect to the Internet, as wired and configured like the TWC connection!  THE ONLY WAY TO GET ON THE INTERNET IS:
    1)     TO TURN OFF AIRPORT (FROM MENU AT TOP OF SCREEN).
    2)     CONNECT THE ETHERNET CABLE DIRECTLY INTO THE MACBOOK PRO 17" (MBP) ETHERNET PORT AND THE OTHER END DIRECTLY
            TO THE AT&T DSL MODEM (ITS ONLY ETHERNET PORT).
    3)     The Internet then works fine.
    I have thoroughly messed-up BOTH my MBP's Network settings and my AEBS' manual settings -- to the point I have no capability to remember the "correct" settings for the MBP Network Settings nor the settings for the AEBS!!!
    In looking into the communication settings for the DSL MODEM (using Safari and its IP address -- 192.168.1.254 -- to access and look at them), I recorded them after activating the service online with AT&T and they are these settings:
    Downstream Rate:               3008 Kbps
    Upstream Rate:                    512 Kbps
    Internet IP Address:              75.47.152.126
    Internet Gateway Address:  151.164.186.1
    DNS Servers:                        68.94.156.1 dnsr1.sbcglobal.net
                                                   68.94.157.1 dnsr2.sbcglobal.net
    Mode:                                   PPP on the modem (Private IP for LAN device)
    Local Network
    Modem IP Address:              192.168.1.254
    Ethernet Status:                    Connected
    Maybe you can tell, but I'm not sure if this modem is using PPPOe or DCHP OR NAT OR BOTH OR WHAT, but the "PPP on the modem (Private IP for LAN device)" suggests it has its PPPOe settings internal with my Member ID so this modem can and does connect to the Internet -- BECAUSE WHEN CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO MY MBP's ETHERNET PORT AND DIRECTLY TO THE MODEM's ETHERNET PORT, THE MBP IS CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET (but I cannot utilize my AEBS features also like printing and allowing another notebook pc to wirelessly connect thru the AEBS to the Internet like the TWC method did)!
    I know this may seem confusing, but I am desparately depending on your help with exactly what settings I need to make inside the AEBS and to make to the MBP's Network settings for both Airport and Ethernet usable!!!
    SO, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME BY PROVIDING ME WITH EITHER (OR BOTH) OF THIS INFORMATION:
    1)     COMPLETE SETTINGS FOR EACH AND EVERY FIELD IN THE AEBS MANUAL SETUP AS WELL AS COMPLETE SETTINGS FOR EACH
            AND EVERY FIELD IN THE MBP NETWORK SETTINGS FOR THE AIRPORT PORT AND THE ETHERNET PORT.
    2)     SEND ME FULL WEBSITE ADDRESSES AND TOPIC TO GO TO TO FIND OUT ALL OF THESE DATA TO BE ENTERED INTO MY SYSTEM.
    I THANK YOU FOR ANY AND ALL HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE!!!!!
    LARRY W. HAMILTON

    The AEBS defaults to 10.0.1.x for internal LAN IP addresses. I'm guessing the Callvantage defaults to 192.168.1.x
    You'll have to find out how to access the admin webserver on the call Callvantage, set it to a fixed IP the AEBS would see and enable the Default Host option on the AEBS with the IP address you gave the Callvantage.
    Default Host is Applespeak for DMZ.

  • Send faxes through F110  and Interest Indicator

    Hello all,
    we have SAP ECC 6.0. , and it is needed to send faxes through F110 ,
    1) I would like to know the steps to send a fax through the  f110 transaction
    2) Only send faxes for the vendors with interest indicator
    3) Do you know some user exit to calculate interest with different interest indicators?
    Regards
    Olga

    Hi Olga,
    For customers, to use different interest rates, and calculate the interest amount in the payment file created by transaction F110, program RFFOBR_A, you need to:
    1) Go to  "Define Interest Calculation Types", in customizing (SPRO).
    2) Go to "Define Reference Interest Rates" in customizing (SPRO).
    3) Go to "Define Time-Based Terms" in customizing (SPRO).
    4) Go to Enter Interest Values in customizing (SPRO).
    After, go to the customer master data, Company Code data, folder account management and fill the field "Interest Indicato" with the code created in the step 1 above.
    When you run the proposal, the payment file will have the interest amount calculated considering the billing amount and the interest rate defined to the customer.
    Her in Brazil, we work in this way.....
    I hope that this could help you solve your issue....!!!!

  • FAX through HP laser jet 3050 which is connected on a Windows Network. I m also connected to this Network and i print through HP LJ 3050. How can i sent fax through HP LJ 3050?

    HOW can i sent FAX through HP laser jet 3050 which is connected on a Windows Network.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Apparently there is no HP software support for the HP 3050 fax or scan functions with OS X 'Lion' 10.7:
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c02950970 #A1
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?&objectID=c0292511 4
    Alternatives?
    1) Run a Windows client on the Mac using Boot Camp or one of the available virtualization programs like Parallels, VMware Fusion, and others so you can run the latest Windows print/fax/scan driver.
    2) If your Mac hardware supports an older OS X version, downgrade to one (Snow Leopard?) that still had support for print, fax and scan.
    3) Buy a newer printer. A 2007 model is 5+ years old, and should now be fully depreciated in a business.

  • Cannot send/receive Fax through Windows Fax and Scan

    Having a problem with Windows Fax and Scan on Small Business Server 2011 Standard SP1.  When I call the fax number, I can see the line ringing in the Fax Status Monitor, but it errors out with "The incoming call cannot be answered as a fax
    call".  I've also tried sending and receive an error: "No dial tone was detected"  I've connected a regular phone to the line and placed an outside call and received a call from an outside line.  No errors are logged in Event
    Viewer, but If I check the Server Roles, Fax Server shows Event ID 32092, 32032 and 32031
    Troubleshooting so far has consisted of:
    Restarting Fax service
    Removing/Readding the Fax Account in Windows Fax and Scan
    Checked Print Spooler and Fax queue for held documents to clear (none)
    Uninstalled/reinstalled the fax modem in Device Manager
    Run Windows Update(several security updates pending)
    Checked the DeviceToMonitor key in HKCU to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fax\UserInfo matches the DeviceName key in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fax (at one point it did not match)
    Removing/Readding the Fax Role.  In the process, also removing registry keys: HKLM_SOFTWARE_MICROSOFT_FAX, HKCU_Software_Microsoft_Fax, HKLM_SOFTWARE_Microsoft_Windows_CurrentVersion_Telephony_CountryList, HKLM_SOFTWARE_Microsoft_Windows_CurrentVersion_Telephony_Locations.
    At one point or another, I have already reviewed the following links:

    Hi billats,
    Regarding to Event ID 32092, 32032 and 32031, please refer to the following articles.
    Event ID 32092 — Received Fax Status
    Event
    ID: 32092 Source: Microsoft Fax
    Please Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft
    does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.
    Event ID 32032 — Sent Fax Status
    Event ID 32031 — Sent Fax Status
    On current situation, please refer to the following steps to troubleshoot. Then check if can find more clues
    and help us to solve this issue.
    Please verify if the incoming fax can be received from other fax machines.
    For modem, please temporarily reduced the speed to 4800bps for the Fax software.
    Please increase the
    Rings before answering value for the fax device to 2 rings in Shared Fax Service Manager.
    Just for a test. Would you replace the old modem with a new one? Then monitor the result.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can I use Magic Jack for BOTH phone calls and Fax. Is Magic jack PLUS BETTER.

    I am using the Magic Jack for regular phone calls. Now, I want to use it for Faxing in and out - on Windows - on a wireless connection to my Officejet 8600 Pro Plus. I see a lot of problems in the forum. Is it easier to buy and use the new Magi Jack PRO. AND. PLEASE, Does anyone have instructions for the installation and use?

    I'm going to be up front and straight forward with you.  Magic Jack, does not work with faxing 90% of the time.  It's not designed to.  That being said, you still have to have a phone line plugged into the printer to fax.  There is no such thing as wireless faxing.  There is internet faxing, through companies such as eFax, and you can use eFax wirelessly form the front panel of select printers.  The 8600 is not one of those printers though.  The printers that include the eFax app are in the PhotoSmart line.  Now that you know all of that, you can try to get faxing to work with magic jack, but it' most likely not going to work.  Here is a list of the things you can try:
    Fist make sure you have a DSL/Digital filter installed in the line.  Next, set the fax speed to slow.  You can find steps in this document that will help with that.  Last make sure the ECM (Error Correction Mode) is off.  To turn off the ECM:
    From the home screen, touch the right arrow.
    Touch setup.
    Touch fax setup.
    Touch advanced fax setup.
    Scroll down to ECM.
    Touch ECM.
    Touch off.
    Touch the home button.
    That's about all you can do to get it to work, and even then it's not guaranteed at all.  Like I said, Magic Jack does not work with faxing.

  • Payment Advice Issue- Print and fax at the same time

    Hi,
    Currently payment advices are being sent to business partners (vendors) thorugh fax/email.   This is because process module Z_SAMPLE_PROCESS_00002040 is active in the system.  
    What I want to do is to be able to also print the payment advices even if vendor has communication data in the master data.  Program RFFoEDI1 is used with a custom form.   IDOCS are sent correctly to bank and remittance advices are faxed to vendor successfully.   With business wanting hard copies of remittance advices, when I try to reprint after first payment run is done and faxes sent running RFFOEDI1 and the payment document number, system says no records selected.   I searched in OSS and all the notes related to this issue are already in our system. 
    I have tried hard to solve this but no luck even I have done this before with other print programs but no RFFOEDI1.  One option is to remove the fax/email addresses from vendor which allows me to print but client does not want to remove fax numbers from vendor master. 
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Look into BTE 2050, through which you could possibly e-mail an additional copy to a generic company e-mail as back up electronic filing of RA. And then you can print it if need to print them on Adhoc basis

    may it be that in those cases where it doesnt work, that you got no fax number?
    Since it works soemtimes, it seems there are no errors, but rather in some cases some important info is missing, fax number may be one of thsoe important info in a FAX scenario.
