Station type "fax"

[maverick2689]

I'm running CM2, and just went through a conversion from Verizon PRI to Verizon Business, which brought in 5mb of VoIP, and are spitting it out to me as t1/PRI via a cisco2911.

I've already gone through having to use a new COR that uses a different route pattern that pre-pends a 555 before any call coming from a fax machine (set to the new COr) so that their Cisco knows its a fax call and leaves it uncompressed.

All that said, I am still dropping outbound faxes and Verizon is pointing at me and the pbx. When I went through the list of fax machines and changed their COR, I also adjusted their "station type" to "fax". Is there any chance that by changing the type from 2500 to fax that I am indeed causing the problem somehow?

We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.

If your switch looks like this, fax and 2500 are the exact same thing other than the name.
No difference in functionality.

Beautiful, thanks so much....

Back to finding out from VZ as to why fax send/receives are intermittently working.
