Chapter 2: Installation
D. Use the Routing field to set the FaxFinder’s operating mode. For Manual Routing Mode, set the Routing field to “Pots Line.”
For Automated Routing Mode, set the Routing field to “DTMF Digits,” or, if a mode code for your PBX is listed in the
E. Dial Prefix (or ‘access digit’). When the FaxFinder is attached to an extension of a PBX or key phone system, an access digit is often required to ‘get an outside line’ (that is, to make a connection to the PSTN). Often a “9” or an “8” is used for this purpose. You can also add a comma (“,”) to insert a pause that may be required to receive dial tone for the outside line.
If needed, enter the access digit and optional comma in the “Dial prefix” field. Inform FaxFinder client users that they should not insert any access digits when entering fax numbers in the FaxFinder Send Fax screen or in their FaxFinder Address Books. Instead, client users should enter fax numbers the way they would dial the number from an ordinary residential phone line. Finally, avoid any access digit combination that might predispose client users to make fax calls accidentally to 911 or any other official/emergency phone number.
F. Fax Debugging. Leave this feature OFF. It is intended for use only by
G. Init String. Set only if modem is in situation that requires an AT command to be inserted after each use.
H. Set the Max DTMF Digits field per the requirements of the PBX with which the FaxFinder will interface (if applicable).
I.Fax ID. The value entered in the “Fax ID” field will appear in the fax log printed by the sender’s fax machine and, typically, will be printed at the top of each page of the transmitted fax.
In Automated Routing Mode (where the Routing field is set to “DTMF Digits” or a ‘mode code’ option for a particular PBX brand), the Fax ID is typically the PBX fax extension number of the FaxFinder Administrator or the number of the phone line to which the FaxFinder is connected.
In Manual Routing Mode (where the Routing field is set to “Pots Line”), the Fax ID is typically the number of the phone line to which the FaxFinder is connected.
In either mode, an organizational identifier, like the company name, might be used as the Fax ID instead of any fax number.
