Need to hook up home fax machine Help!
 

:Screen_of_Death::Screen_of_Death:
We can't figure out how to set up our home fax/scanner. Is there anyone who could help us?
Thx

Did your fax work at a previous location or is it new?

Is it connected wirelessly via wifi or connected by a cable to your PC? If wifi, is your network secured ( does it require a one time password to access? ).

Can you print to it?

Do you have a telephone connection or are you using a telephone system like Ooma?

Knowing the answers to these questions may help get you up and running.

At worse case, there are services I believe provided by resident(s) of TV that will come to your home to help for a fee. Hopefully, you can this resolved without having to pay someone.

Best of luck!

Lets starts something new! Helping not hiring!
 

I would be happy to assist you (yes without any cost) if you are in the Villages! Please PM me with your contact information if you still need help.

Generally you should have your fax/scanner in-line between your phone signal source (wall outlet) and your phone. Here is a routing sequence where you can just eliminate the element(s) that are not applicable:

Wall Outlet > modem > router > printer/fax/scanner > phone

This is the setup I have with a Comcast setup, but it's probably similar with any provider's incoming signal.

If this doesn't help then you should describe the exact routing you already have set up similar to what I did above so any answers can be specific to your needs.
