Chapter 3 – Basic FaxFinder Configuration

Modem Fields

Field
Modem The internal modem number, which is based on the FaxFinder model (1-2 for the FF240, 1-4
for the FF440 and 1-8 for the FF840).
Fax ID This value appears in the fax page header. Typically, it is the fax number or the company
name, so that recipients can identify each page with the sender's name or number. For Fax
ID regulations, consult the FCC website.
Country Code Use this to set the modem's Country Profile Code. For correct operation, use the country
code for country where you are using the FaxFinder.
Answer On If you set Routing to POTS Line, enter how many times the line should ring before the
modem answers it. If this is 2, the modem will pick up the line after it detects two ring
sequences.
If you set Routing to DTMF Digits or a PBX mode code, the modem ignores this value. PBX
mode code and DTMF Digits routing always pick up after one ring sequence.
Max Extension Used when Routing is set to DTMF Digits or a PBX mode code. Enter a value that matches
Digits the number of digits to be passed by the line/PBX to the FaxFinder modem port. The
supported range length of a DTMF string is from 1 to 15 digits.
Routing For inbound fax calls from the PSTN, this setting determines whether the modem checks the
line for DID routing information in the form of DTMF digits. This setting directly effects how
other Inbound Routing fields should be configured.
Note:
Select from the following three options:
POTS Line
DTMF Digits
___Mode Code PBX Mode Code is similar to DTMF Digits, except the DTMF digits from the
26
For DTMF Digits or PBX Mode Code routing, the modem listens up to 15 seconds
for all expected DID routing information. If it detects only a portion or none of the
expected digits after 15 seconds the modem will declare a timeout and proceed
to make fax answer tones. After a fax is received, it will be delivered as if POTS
Line is the selected routing technique.
With this option, the modem does not look for DID routing information
from the line/PBX. When the modem receives a fax, FaxFinder delivers it
based on options defined for this line number in the Lines section of the
Inbound Routing page.
With this option, the modem listens for DID routing information from the
PBX line. DID information must be a string of DTMF digits. FaxFinder makes
fax answer tones after it hears the expected number of DID digits (Max
Extension Digits).
After the modem receives a fax, FaxFinder tries to match the DID number
it heard with entries in the Recipients table to determine delivery options.
PBX also contain information that FaxFinder doesn't use. FaxFinder needs
to know the incoming mode code format to identify and extract the DID
extension number imbedded within.
FaxFinder includes PBX Mode Codes for some device manufacturers. If the
codes for your device are not included, select User Defined and add the
code to the Routing Definition field.
