Re: [hylafax-users] Test Eicon/Modem at lower speeds

Hi all,

I'm testing hylafax with Eicon Server boards and had a question regarding
connection speeds.

The server is configured to use Eicon's ttyds for fax receipt and sending. We
have done some testing on the configs and I was hoping for some help and user
experience.

1. Could we force the boards to connect at lower speeds, f.e. fixed to 9600baud?
I tried the settings in the Eicon config, but that seems to work for their fax
app only. We had some connection problems and I would like to see if this might help.



Because the Diva Server works as a type of "fax proxy" there are two communication channels, one going on between the Diva Server and the remote fax device, and another (nearly independent) going on between the Diva Server and HylaFAX.


You can make adjustments in HylaFAX to limit the communication rate between HylaFAX and the Diva Server, but that may not have any bearing on the communication rate between the Diva Server and the remote fax device, which is probably what you want to do. In order to adjust the communication rate that occurs between the Diva Server and the remote you'll need to look into the Diva control utilities that come with the Diva Server ttyds driver.

2. What would be the preferred modem config, Class 1 or Class 2?



I believe that Eicon recommends Class 2. And, since the Diva Server works as a proxy-of-sorts the advantages of Class 1 over Class 2 are lost anyway, so it's probably best to run them as Eicon recommends and as most other Diva Server users run them.


3. Is the default Class config sufficient or are there known 'tweaks'. If so, is
a preferred config available online?


The config/eicon-2 prototype should work well for you. Most tweaking will need to be done in the Diva control utilities.


Lee.
