Installing Brooktrout TruFax Boards
The Brooktrout TruFax series of analog fax boards consists of models with one or two loop-start
channels. Multiple TruFax boards can be installed on a single computer, but TruFax boards cannot
be used in combination with any other type of fax board. Instructions in this section apply to all
supported Brooktrout TruFax boards unless otherwise noted.
The following table lists all of the Brooktrout TruFax series fax boards supported by RightFax.
Setting the I/O address
This section applies to the ISA TruFax board only. You do not need to set an I/O address on either
the TruFax 100 PCI or TruFax 200 PCI.
Before installing ISA TruFax boards, you must manually set the base I/O address on each board.
The base I/O address is set on the board using switches 1 through 8 on the address selection dip
switch unit on the fax board. Refer to your Brooktrout documentation for the location of this unit on
your board.
Warning Do not use a pencil or any other object that conducts electricity to move the switches on the SW1
unit. Using graphite and other electrically conductive materials may cause severe damage to the board.
Each fax channel on the TruFax uses four consecutive I/O addresses. The address specified on the
address selector switch defines the base I/O address for the first channel. The second fax channel on
the board uses an address four greater than the first channel. For example, if the TruFax has its base
address set to 140, the two fax channels on the board will use addresses 140 and 144. If you have
multiple ISA TruFax boards installed, be careful not to assign overlapping I/O addresses.
