Advanced fax board configuration options include speed settings, dialing settings, and several additional options specific to the capabilities of each modem.
To define the properties for a fax device, select the device listed in the Devices folder and click the Properties toolbar button 
. The device Properties dialog box is opened.
To define or modify advanced settings for the fax device, click the Advanced tab in the device Properties dialog box.
Define the following Device Communications options:
| • | Modem Speed (bps) - The Modem Speed is the speed at which the device operates and reflects the speed at which the fax files will be transmitted. |
| • | Host Speed (bps) - The Host Speed option is only available for serial modems and reflects the speed at which the PC will communicate with the fax board. |
| NOTE: | For serial fax devices (Class 1, 2, 2.0), the Host Speed must be faster than the Modem Speed. You should select a Host Speed that is at least two times the Modem Speed. For example, if your Modem Speed is 9600, then choose a Host Speed of 19200. If your Modem Speed is 14400, then choose a Host Speed of 38400. |
| NOTE: | emFAST will NOT support Class 1, 2, 2.0 modems in Production environments. |
| • | Use hardware flow control - This option is available only for serial boards and may be referred to in the device's documentation as CTS or "clear to send." |
The Device Settings you define are specific to the capabilities of the device. Refer to the manufacturer's documentation for detailed specifications.
The Dial Timeout duration indicates how long the board should wait for a carrier. By default, the board will wait for 60 seconds for an answer tone. If there is no response, FACSys will hang up. Note that international calls might require longer wait times.
