Requirements
AC power outlet within 10 feet.
Telephone wall jack and cable to reach the FaxReceiver
An Ethernet cable for the connection from the FaxReceiver to an Ethernet hub or switch connection that will connect to the mail server.
Important Information
NOTE: The device is designed to operate in a typical office environment. Choose a location that is:
Away from sources of vibration or physical shock.
Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields produced by electrical devices.
Provided with a properly grounded wall outlet.
The modem/card can be installed in either the top or bottom slot.
WARNING NOTES:
Do not attempt to modify or use the supplied AC power cord if it is not the exact type required.
Whenever the chassis cover is to be removed, ensure that the system is disconnected from its power source and from all telecommunications links, networks, or modem lines.
Do not operate the system with the cover removed.
THE PROCESS
A fax is received, a connection with the mail server is established, the fax is decoded and sent to the mail server as a GIF file for each page embedded in the email.
If you are private individual use your email account and password as you use for your existing mail client on your computer, this is all you need.
If you are a corporate user we recommend to set up a dedicated email account for the FaxReceiver i.e. fax1@mydomain.com and then copy the people to be informed of incoming faxes from this account. This allows you to keep a copy of every received fax in this account for recording purposes. It is up to you if you want to give each FaxReceiver its own mail account or if you want to use the Location Name to distinguish which device actually received the fax.
