Beyond the Basics

Setting for use with a closed network

For maximum communications security, use a closed network. This limits your machine to only communicating with other Muratec fax machines which can “pre- sent” the proper passcode.

Important: The passcode you use for closed network operation is not the same as the protection passcode.

Once your machine is set up for a closed network, your machine will disconnect calls coming in from fax machines other than Muratec fax machines.

To set your fax machine’s closed network password:

1	Decide on the four-digit closed network passcode (0001–9999)you want to use.
	Write it down, and put it in a safe place.
2	Press /PROGRAM, J, 0, 8, ENTER. The LCD shows the current code:
		Set Passcode
		Passcode	:0000
3
	Use the numeric keypad to enter the desired four-digit closed network passcode.
		Set Passcode
		Passcode	:5627

4 Press ENTER to save the setting.

Note: To turn off the closed network passcode and return to normal fax reception, change the code to 0000 by repeating steps 1–4 and entering 0000 in step 3.

To set your fax machine to operate in a closed network:

1	Press		/PROGRAM, J, 0, 9, ENTER. The LCD shows your fax’s current setting:
		Closed Net.		:Off
			Program/Enter
2
	Press		or /PROGRAM until the mode you want appears.
	Here, we’ve chosen On.

Setting Block Junk Fax

Your fax machine’s Block Junk Fax feature lets you bar the gates against unautho- rized incoming faxes (“junk fax”). But before you block junk fax, first understand how this feature works, to determine if it’s right for you. There are four possible set- tings for Block Junk Fax:

•Off — The feature isn’t activated.

•Mode1 — Your fax machine checks whether the last four digits of any phone number in your autodialer matches the last four digits of the remote fax’s sub- scriber ID (the phone number part of the TTI). If it doesn’t find a match, your machine disconnects the call.

•Mode2 — This mode rejects any call from a number whose last eight digits match any number in the blocked numbers list (explained later). Your machine can hold up to 30 blocked numbers.

•Mode3 — This rejects numbers that are not in the autodialer and also rejects num- bers that are in the blocked numbers list. This lets you keep a number on your autodialer for transmission to it, while still blocking its incoming calls by putting it in the blocked numbers list.

But before you activate the Block Junk Fax feature, please consider:

•Not all fax machine owners enter their phone numbers in their Subscriber IDs. — With Block Junk Fax activated, your machine would reject faxes from these machines.

•Access codes can cause confusion. — If an autodialer entry ends with extra codes, such as long-distance codes, Block Junk Fax will block out calls from those faxes.

To set Block Junk Fax:

1	Press		/PROGRAM, J, 1, 1, ENTER. The LCD shows your fax’s current setting:
		Block Junk Fax:Off
			Program/Enter
2
	Press		or /PROGRAM until the mode you want appears.
	Here, we’ve chosen Mode2.
		Block Junk Fax:Mode2
			Program/Enter
3
	Press ENTER to save the setting.
	What you do next depends on what you selected in step 1:

• If you selected Off or Mode1, your machine returns to standby mode.

• If you selected either Mode2 or Mode3, go on to step 4.
