</a>)<br>to a Digium TDM400P card on a production system.<br><br>This fax is running OK when directly plugged to PSTN but cannot seem to hangup when connected to Digium TDM400P card.<br><br>We prepare deployment on a separate system and I cannot unplug this fax machine and move it to our test environment (which is on a different location).
<br>I'm doomed to try to reproduce the bug with another fax machine.<br>And as you can guess, we were unsuccessful yet to reproduce it with the couple of (entry level) fax machines I could get a hand on.<br><br>So I was telling myself : "what if I could buy the most inclusive fax-modem, connect it to a PC, and run a bunch of test scripts to gather useful information on both production and preparation systems ?".
<br><br>For example, it seems that Brother 8360P uses Super G3 mode.<br>Is there a fax-modem offering such capability so that I could easily check if I still cannot hangup when I enable or disable Super G3 mode ?<br><br>
Ideally, I would run a batch script with a fax-modem-equiped-PC to gather compliance inputs against V34 and other fax standards.<br><br>Your advice underlining A200D PCM switching capability is very relevant, anyway, as it shows a way to prove a fax issue can be solved changing or configuring an analog TDM board.
