Receiving Faxes in Automated Routing Mode
In Automated Routing Mode, the FaxFinder Server delivers incoming faxes to client PCs in their email
inboxes.
1. A PBX extension number must be assigned to the client PC at the FaxFinder Server.
2. For fax reception, the client PC and the FaxFinder server need not both be connected to the same
Ethernet LAN system. (A sales representative, for example, could receive faxes sent to her home
office fax number even though she is traveling overseas, if she uses an Internet email account.)
3. A fax document is sent to the PBX extension number of a client/recipient on the FaxFinder system.
The fax call is routed to the FaxFinder server and there converted to a PDF or TIFF graphic file. The
graphic file is attached to an email message that is sent to the intended recipient’s email address (as
specified in the FaxFinder Phone Book).
4. The incoming fax arrives in the recipient’s email inbox as a message with an attachment.
The email message is marked as being from the FaxFinder Administrator.
The sender’s “Remote ID” and the recipient’s name appear in the “Subject” line of the email
message. (The Remote ID comes from the sending fax machine and is typically the sender’s fax
number or name.)
