Setting Security Transmission; Setting For Use Of A Closed Network; Setting Your Fax Machine's Closed Network Passcode - Muratec MFX-1500 Operating Instructions Manual

Setting security transmission

Your fax's security transmission feature provides extra assurance that your documents
go where you're sending them. When this feature is activated and your machine sends
a fax, the machine compares the last four digits of the dialled number to the other
unit's Subscriber (the phone number at the top of that unit's transmissions; see
ID
page 1.19). If these digits match, your call goes through. If they don't, your machine
disconnects the call and prints an error message telling you to check the condition of
the remote unit.
Before you activate this feature, please consider:
• Not all fax machine owners enter their phone numbers in their Subscriber
Indeed, some machines don't even have a Subscriber
transmission activated, your machine would disconnect its calls to such machines.
• Access codes can cause confusion. — If an autodialler entry ends with a long-
distance or other access code, activating this feature prevents calls to that fax.
(After all, the other fax's users won't put your codes at the end of their Subscriber

Setting for use of a closed network

For maximum communications security, use a closed network. This limits your
machine to faxing to and from only other Muratec fax machines which can "present"
the proper passcode.
Important: The passcode you use for closed network operation (and limiting polling
access; see page 2.32) is not the same as the protection passcode.
Once set this way, your machine will disconnect calls coming in from other machines.

Setting your fax machine's closed network passcode

1.
Decide upon, and then write down, the four-digit closed network passcode
