Set the Channel for Outbound Calls
$fax_send_channel chan
$fax_send_line chan
This command specifies that a particular outgoing channel or channel group is to be used for FoD callbacks in this application. The two command names are synonymous. For a callback request, CopiaFacts places a copy of this command as the $fax_send_line command in an FS file.
In a .USR file, this command has no effect on fax broadcasts nor on any server operations using externally generated FS files. It only affects the contents of a callback FS file generated from a fax-on-demand or fax mail retrieval request.
In a .UJP file, using this command is equivalent to specifying the $fax_send_line command in every FS file of the job.
 | Warning: using $fax_send_line commands very often results in severe performance degradation. This is because FS files are picked up for processing even if the specified channels are busy, and then have to be discarded. The result is an under-utilization of outbound resources. If possible use different TOSEND queues, not $fax_send_channel to specify special processing, and enable the queues on specific COPIAFACTS instances. |
The parameter on this command is used as follows:
| chan | the channel number or channel group(s) to be used, which must specify a valid outbound line for the system but need not be on the same network node that is processing the request. |
Default: any line configured for outbound may be used.
Examples:
$fax_send_channel 8 ; use user channel 8
$fax_send_channel 5 ; force WATS channel use
$fax_send_channel BC1,BC2 ; use two channel groups defined in CFG
