PREMIUM EXEC SUSPEND MODE AND BITFAX SOFTWARE
|
|
|
|
|
|
PROBLEM: When sending a fax using BitFAX software, the Premium Exec
|
|
will not suspend.
|
|
|
|
SYMPTOM: Without user intervention, suspend mode is disabled after
|
|
sending a fax using BitFAX software.
|
|
|
|
AFFECTED
|
|
SYSTEMS: All AST Premium Exec Systems.
|
|
|
|
SOLUTION: Reinitialize the modem. This is performed by using the
|
|
command "astmodem" and involves toggling the modem off and
|
|
then on. The commands can be executed from the DOS command
|
|
line or from a batch file.
|
|
|
|
Command Line Example:
|
|
|
|
After the faxes have been sent and the BitFAX program has been exited, enter
|
|
the following two commands at the DOS prompt:
|
|
|
|
astmodem off
|
|
astmodem on
|
|
|
|
Batch File Example:
|
|
|
|
Include the following three entries in a batch file:
|
|
|
|
bitfax
|
|
astmodem off
|
|
astmodem on
|
|
|
|
Then execute the batch file. Upon exiting the BitFAX program, the commands
|
|
"astmodem off" and "astmodem on" are executed automatically.
|
|
|
|
Note: These examples assume the DOS path statement is pathed to these two
|
|
commands.
