Troubleshooting the FaxPress Enterprise/Enterprise Redundant T1’s Dialogic Fax Board

Very infrequently, the T1 line will not synchronize properly between the FaxPress Enterprise and the central office. This will cause issues with sending and receiving multiple page faxes. In this case, the Enterprise fax board can be configured to synchronize with the connected T1 line using the steps described below.

Implement the following changes very carefully. Incorrect parameter value changes may compromise fax board function. If you have any questions regarding this procedure, contact Castelle tech support.

To synchronize the Enterprise with your T1 line if you’re experiencing problems sending multiple page faxes, follow these steps:

1. Attach a mouse, keyboard, and monitor to the FaxPress Enterprise. Although Remote Desktop can be used for configuring other aspects of the Enterprise system, it can’t be used for this.
2. Power on the Enterprise.
3. Log into the Enterprise system as Administrator. The default password is castelle. Make sure castelle is all lower case.
4. Open the Services tool. (Start>Settings>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services.)
5. Stop all Castelle services.
6. Stop the GammaLink System service.
1. Stop the Dialogic System Service.
2. Navigate to Program Folders\Intel\Dialogic System Software\Configuration Manager- DCM.
3. Right-click on Bus-0 and select Configure Device.
4. Select NETREF One FRU (User Defined) and edit its value to GDK_T1 0.
5. Click Apply.
6. Select Derive Primary Clock from (User Defined) and edit its value to NETREF_1.
7. Click Apply.
8. Select Primary Master FRU (User Defined), edit its value to GDK_T1 0.
9. Click Apply.
10. Select Using NETREF One (User Defined) and edit its value to Yes.
11. Click Apply.
12. Refer to the following table to verify all the parameter values are correct, then proceed to step 13.
