right that an unused port does try to connect to CM and at the least
generates lots of fails in the event logs. I go ahead and add the second
port into CM, so it can register, and I just don't configure a line on
it. This stops the error messages and perhaps stops calls dropping as
you describe.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>My experience of ATA's and faxes is not good. We have a combination
of faxes + VG224 and faxes + ATA and I only seem to get problems with the
ATA's. Quite often they will get their knickers in a twist and stop giving
dial tone, and a power off / on sorts them out and they will then
work again for a few months. Other times I get problems with fax
transmission, ranging from failed sending / receiving to a fax being sent and
received ok, but the sending fax machine reports it didn't get delivered
so it proceeds to send it again...and again...and again... (very
frustrating for the recipient!) The solution to this one was to drop the
speed of fax transmission down to 14400 and this cured the
problem.<BR> <BR>One thing to be wary of is that if the second ATA port
is not being used, you must disable it. If you don't you will get calls
dropping as the ATA will reset occasionally when the second port tries to talk
to the CM, but as it isnt configured it doesent get very far. If a call is in
progress on port 1 at the time it will get dropped.<BR> <BR>Faxes on
our VG224's seem to work on the main with very few problems (mostly
fax passthrough, some fax relay). We have CM
6.1.3.something_odd..... and are en-route to CM7 them CM8 over the course of
this year.<SPAN
