Alert message problems
I am unable to send a Page or FAX using the modem port.
Possible Cause 1: The Page and Fax options are not enabled.
Fix: Go to the Configuration Mode and enable Page and FAX notification via the System
Params menu option.
Possible Cause 2: The default modem initialization string is not compatible with your modem.
Fix: Change the modem initialization string in the System Params option. Refer to your modem
manual for its initialization string.
The following modem models require their own initialization strings.

SCSI problems
ACS-8990 is not properly identified by the SCSI adapter during initialization of the
computer system.
Possible Cause: The SCSI ID set for the ACS-8990 is being used by another SCSI device
attached to the same SCSI card.
Fix: Select the Set SCSI ID option from the SCSI Params menu and specify a different SCSI ID.
Most SCSI host adapters provide an onboard ROM BIOS, or software utility, that displays the
devices attached and their SCSI IDs. Disconnect ACS-8990 from the SCSI host adapter card
and during the system boot, or by running the utility, note the SCSI IDs already in use.
The ACS-8990 is identified as all SCSI IDs.
