This information is displayed when creating or amending a Communication Line to control which lines are activated when the subsystem CPPD is started.

Entries

AS/400 line speed (AFG only)

This determines the line speed of the IBM i communications line.  You should leave this as the default of 0=19200 as this will match the speed of the Ascom Fax Modem that you have installed. The choices are 0=19200 or 1=38400.

Fax Card Function

Determines whether the line is used for Sending, Receiving or Both Send and Receive.

The possibilities are:  

Maximum Active Faxes (FS/400 only)

Determines the maximum number of faxes (19), which are in the process of being sent by IBM Facsimile Support/400 at any one time.  If there are too few the full capacity of the fax card may not be used, if there are too many you do not have such direct control over the status of faxes.  Both the lines for a fax card are treated together so that this number should be the same on both lines (if link type *fax).  If both lines are in use, 3 should be sufficient.
