Using a FAX Machine
You can connect a fax machine to an FXS port on the SPA2102, SPA3102,
SPA8000, and SPA8800. T.38 Fax is supported on these devices, for fax
transmission over an IP network. The SPA2102 and SPA3102 support a single
connection, while the SPA8000 and SPA8800 support one connection for each
pair of FXS ports (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8) for a maximum of four connections.
