REMEDY for Manual Routing Mode

A. Situate yourself in a place where you can see the FaxFinder unit and, simultaneously, use a phone on a regular POTS line.

B.From that ordinary POTS phone, dial the phone number of the FaxFinder.

C.As the call is completed, watch the FaxFinder’s TD and RD LEDs.

If these LEDs remain off, then the FaxFinder’s phone connection may be faulty.

If the LEDs flicker on and off in response to the call, then there is something wrong with the FaxFinder software. Call Multi-Tech Tech Support (1-800-972-2439).

5. What if I don't get the email to me of the test fax that I sent?

REMEDY. Check the Current Status: POTS Modem n screen while the fax is in progress to see if it goes through the following states: Waiting for Connect, Negotiating, Receive Page n, Post Page Processing. If it does, then check the Fax Log screen to see what the FaxFinder thought had happened. Also check the Pending Msgs status on the Current Status screen and Email Status to see if it has No Errors. Based on these indications perhaps a solution can be found. If not, call Multi-Tech Tech Support (1-800-972-2439).
