PBX Compatibility

Before proceeding with cabling or software installation, you

should confirm that the telephony equipment with which you

intend to use the FaxFinder is compatible with it. Although the

FaxFinder can simply be connected to an ordinary phone

subscriber line (a POTS line), it is often connected to a PBX.

One of the convenient features of the FaxFinder is its ability to

deliver incoming faxes as email messages directly to users on

an ethernet network. This direct service depends on the PBX's

ability to route multiple phone extension numbers to a single

station port. If the PBX lacks that ability, incoming faxes must be

sent to users through an attendant. If you will be connecting the

FaxFinder to a PBX, it is important to understand the PBX's

capabilities in this regard beforehand. The following section

explains why the capabilities of your PBX will determine how you

set up the FaxFinder unit to work with it.

The FaxFinder FF100 Fax Server provides two-way fax service

to PC client users on an Ethernet network. For outgoing service,

users send faxes by using the Print command of any application

program and selecting the FaxFinder as the target Printer. For

incoming fax service, the FaxFinder converts the incoming faxes

into graphic files that are sent as email attachments to fax

recipients on the ethernet network.
