View System Infomation
vxu system info
- This command will display the system information of the unit as shown below:
Update Boot Loader
vxu update boot loader
- This command will update the boot loader of the faxbridge. The boot loader is the program that loads the actual operating system when the unit is turned on.
Firmware Update
vxu update kernel image or vfwu
- In some cases, the faxbridge may be running an older version of its firmware so the vxu update kernel image command may not work. In those cases, the vfwu command would have to be used instead.
Change the Faxbridge Configuration
vxu fax config px "x"
- The x in that command is a place holder and can be replaced with either of the following:
- 0, 1, 2, or 3
- Each of those denotes a different configuration that the faxbridge will use to communicate with the fax machine.
- That being said when configured to default (ie 0) the faxbridge is supposed to adjust to whatever device it is connected to. This command would be used to force a particular configuration.
Configuration Reset
vxu fax config reset
- This command is used to reset the faxbridge configuration back to 0 which is the default.

- This command is useful to see if the faxbridge is able to communicate with the fax machine.
