FaxFinder Operation
Fax Sending
For outgoing faxing, users send faxes by using the Print
command of any application program and selecting the
FaxFinder as the target Printer.
Fax Receiving: Automated vs. Manual Routing
For incoming fax service, the FaxFinder converts the incoming
faxes into graphic files (PDF or TIF) that are sent as email
attachments to fax recipients on the Ethernet network. These
emails may then either go directly to the recipient (Automated
Routing Mode) or to an attendant who will forward them to their
ultimate recipients (Manual Routing Mode).
To use Automated Routing Mode, the FaxFinder must operate
in conjunction with a PBX and the PBX must be able to route
many incoming DID fax numbers to a group of station ports as
DTMF digits. On the Multi-Tech website we have a list of
certified PBX configuration guides for FaxFinders. If you believe
that your PBX has the necessary DID routing capability but your
PBX is not listed, contact Multi-Tech Technical Support. In
Automated Routing Mode, the line ports on the FaxFinder will be
connected to the appropriate station ports on your PBX.
With Manual Routing, each phone line connected to the
FaxFinder can have an email address assigned to it. In this case
the POTS lines will be connected to the line ports on the
FaxFinder.
