Faxes
For outgoing faxes, the FaxFinder works the same in both Automated Routing Mode and Manual Routing
Mode. Each client must be 'registered' with the FaxFinder Server unit. To send a fax, the client/user
'prints to FaxFinder' from an application program. That is, the client/user picks the FaxFinder as the
destination printer in a particular application program and then prints the document to send the fax.
In the remainder of this chapter, we introduce our fictitious sample FaxFinder systems. First, we show the
server software parameters that must be set for this simple system. Next we show two pairs of
illustrations about fax reception and fax transmission. In the first pair, we show what happens in the
FaxFinder system when a fax is received, from both server and client perspectives. In the second pair,
we show what happens when a fax is sent. The server perspective comes first. We then show sending
from the client perspective along with a setup for that client. We briefly explain each step of the process.
Finally, we show how the FaxFinder assembles the components of the fax message for the convenience
of the user.
For simplicity, we use an FF420 unit and employ only two of its ports.
These illustrations explain how the FaxFinder system fits into your Ethernet network and what client users
will encounter when they begin to use the FaxFinder Client software.
