Fax Routing Overview; Inbound Routing; Outbound Routing - Multitech FaxFinder FF240-IP Administrator's Manual

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
■
Static IP address
FaxFinder does not support automatically assigned IP addresses via DHCP. FaxFinder is set from the factory
with an IP address of 192.168.2.1 (netmask 255.255.255.000).
■
Ethernet and RJ-45 Cable
You need to know if your Ethernet equipment has a simple traditional switch or hub, a managed V-LAN
switch that is IP address aware (and will block traffic that is not from its configured subnet), or a port on a
network enabled device (such as a PBX or router) with controls that are similar to a managed switch.
■
FaxFinder's Ethernet interface is full duplex, auto negotiating 10/100/1000 Mb and auto polarity
sensing. Auto polarity allows you to use a traditional straight through or cross-over, Ethernet RJ-
45 cable.
■
FaxFinder does not support POE (Power over Ethernet). You may need to disable POE features on
the Ethernet port that you connect to the FaxFinder.
■
SIP and T.38 Network Requirements
You need to know what parameters your network requires to communicate with the FaxFinder.

Fax Routing Overview

Inbound Routing

Depending on your network configuration, FaxFinder can route incoming faxes to a network printer, network
share, and through your mail server to any individual user. FaxFinder can deliver incoming faxes as email
attachments to any user on your mail system, whether local, remote, or mobile.

Outbound Routing

You can configure FaxFinder so that users can send faxes through a T.37 email, the FaxFinder Fax Client, a web
browser, or a Web API. Fax Client Software, installed on a user's Windows computer, also allows the user to send
faxes through the print function of any software.
