Chapter 3 – Server Installation
This chapter shows you how to set up your Multi-Tech Model FF100 FaxFinder.
The setup process includes both cabling of the FF100 unit and configuration of the FaxFinder server
software. The FaxFinder server software resides on the FaxFinder unit and does not need to be installed.
Prerequisite: Determining PBX Compatibility &
Configuration
To operate the FF100 FaxFinder system in conjunction with a PBX and in "PBX Routing Mode," that PBX
must be able to do convergent routing. That is, it must route incoming calls made to many PBX
extension numbers to a single PBX station port. For example, fax calls to twenty PBX extension numbers
(555-3101 through 555-3120) might be directed to a FaxFinder unit at 555-3121.This multiple-extension-
to-single-port capacity allows multiple PBX users to have their own unique directory numbers for receiving
faxes.
If you are using the FF100 in conjunction with a PBX and in "PBX Routing Mode," be sure that the PBX
has this multiple-extension-to-single-port capacity and that this capacity is activated.
