Setting Security Transmission; Setting For Use Of A Closed Network; Setting Block Junk Fax - Muratec F-100 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 dialed number to the other unit's
Subscriber (the phone number at the top of that unit's transmissions; see page 1.10).
ID
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
mission activated, your machine would disconnect its calls to such machines.
• Access codes can cause confusion. — If an autodialer 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 2.33) is not the same as the protection passcode.
Once set this way, your machine will disconnect calls coming in from other
machines.
