Hi all, I have a Merlin Legend rev 1 with a 4 port Merlin Mail r3 that answers all incoming calls with the Auto Attendant. I am having trouble getting my fax extension working. I have an 012 module, and the jack the fax is plugged into is #21 which is Ext 30 on my dialplan. I have set up the Aux Equipment/ Fax/ Port to 21 and set the Fax Extension in Merlin Mail to 30. I can dial the extension of the fax machine internally and get its modem, but when I fax from outside, the AA starts to play my menu, then stops when it hears the fax tone, I don't hear anything for awhile (except the sending fax making its fax tone), and then I hear Merlin Mail saying that the Fax is not available, try again later.

I have combed over my manuals and this forum; any help or insite would be appreciated!

Thanks!
 
In you aux equipment settings, I believe that the extension is entered instead of the port number.
 
That part of WinSPM is a little confusing since the option is Port, but when you Inspect it shows what you enter as Extension. I agree that it is extension, but whichever way I try it I get the same error message from Merlin mail :( "The fax is not available, please disconnect and try again later" or something close to that.

Any other ideas guys? Appreciate the help!
