[WISPA] OT Fax over Voip
I have a customer that we installed an IP phone system for. They moved their office to a new building where the telco couldn’t or wouldn’t bring service to. So I have the PBX at their old location where the COs come in and we go over a wireless link to the new office where they use their internet and IP phones, and all works great. So their fax machine sits at their old location and they want it in their new location. They are not interested in doing Internet fax at this time, but I may have to introduce it again. A while ago we bought some Grandstream gateway devices. We have them configured correctly and they transmit and receive voice just fine, just no fax. So, the scenario would be the CO goes into a gateway device to convert to digital, goes over the LAN to the other gateway device. That device hooks up to the fax machine. If someone has done this before can you share the products you may have used? The products we have say they will work this way, but no luck, just voice transmission. I may have a bad device as well. Also, is there any internet fax services that allow users to use their existing fax machine? I know it’s a little weird to ask that, but some people have a hard time with change using their PC to send faxes thanks heith mnwireless ___ Wireless mailing list Wireless@wispa.org http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless

Re: [WISPA] OT Fax over Voip
http://www.vitelity.com/services_vfax/ Works perfect. Order the Fax Enable device and it will allow the old fax machine to function perfectly. You also get the benefit of fax-to-email capability if they want it turned on. Unless they do a ton of faxes each month, the standard per minute rates are the way to go.

I just uploaded my FCC Comments on the ATT experiment, one which proposes that fax capabilities be lost.

Internet fax is actually the worst of both worlds, putting fax in series with email. So it's useful if you get the occasional fax from someone who can't scan documents otherwise, but it's not useful if you use fax the way pharmacies, doctors, and courts do. Since VoIP doesn't support modems or fax, if they need real fax, they need a way to extend the signal (dial tone) to the new site. This can't just run over best efforts IP. But there are systems that do the timing and buffering to enable TDM to be reliably emulated across a wireless link (I suggest using a high-priority VLAN and no public IP). We're using the RAD IPmux series. We're putting them in to replace T1s, for instance, to support fire department voting receivers (very quality critical) across Ethernet radios. Not exactly cheap, but it's a nice tool. They are available with different types of interfaces. -- Fred R.

I don't want to start a long thread about fax but --RANT Fax over copper was never either secure or private. The transmission always was fairly easy to intercept if you were snooping on a particular individual/business. Plus, you have no idea who walks up to the recipient fax machine which I maintain should disqualify it for both the legal and medical communities. Some of the old time phone phreaks used to have the CO automatically bridge lines to a cable pair that they had acquired during call setup. (Hopefully they were all chased out of the system some time ago) Fax is a loose standard and should have died out a decade ago. (IMHO) A peer-to-peer encrypted, standards based system would have been the likely result and this silliness about supporting analog fax would go away. /RANT That said both of the methods mentioned in this thread work about as well as traditional copper which is less than 100%. Even on copper expect a few customer calls. Internet fax is actually the worst of both worlds, putting fax in series with email.

[WISPA] OT Time Clocks...
OK This is a little off topic as far as wireless goes but I am looking for a time clock to keep track of employee time. Presently we are on the honor system (and I don't have a problem with that...just too much manual labor for the bookkeeper) and they mark down their own time on a sheet. At the end of the pay period someone has to retrieve their time sheets, fax them to the office, and then add up the time, enter into Quickbooks and then print payroll. The crews turn out at a remote site that is not part of the main office. Its time to work smarter not harder. I am looking for a time clock that can be connected to the Internet at the warehouse and all time info will be accessible remotely. Anyone have any suggestions?

Bob, Particularly if you do not have a supervisor who can sign off on time sheets each week, having a timeclock that can report to a central location is an absolute must.

So the bookkeeper either gets no sheets or blank white sheets of paper.

Re: [WISPA] OT Time Clocks...
That's why my pay period ends on a Friday and payroll isn't until the next Wednesday... I have all weekend and most of Monday to get payroll into QuickBooks for direct deposit.

That would work but I would probably drown in the tears or the crying would make me deaf! :-) On 3/31/2014 8:42 PM, Forrest Christian (List Account) wrote: That's why my pay period ends on a Friday and payroll isn't until the next Wednesday...

Check out TimeTrex. There's a free/community edition, and the paid version is pretty reasonable and has an Android/iOS app, job costing, etc. The setup, especially if you have to shoehorn existing policies into it, can be a little arduous.
