Multi-Tech FaxFinder Quick Start

Getting Started

This guide shows you how to set up your Multi-Tech Model
FF200 FaxFinder 2-port fax modem system. The FaxFinder is a
fax server for networked environments. With it, you can receive
faxes as emails and send faxes from any application that can
print.
The FaxFinder operates in two modes: PBX Routing Mode and
1
POTS Mode .
PBX Routing Mode. When connected to station ports (2) on a
2
PBX , the FF200 functions as a network fax server with full two-
way fax service. Multiple PBX extension numbers are dedicated
to incoming fax traffic which is routed to the FF200. (Two station
ports are needed. Faxes transmitted to any of the PBX's fax-
dedicated extension numbers all go to the station ports serving
the FF200.) The FF200 converts the incoming faxes into
graphic files that are sent as email attachments to fax recipients
on the ethernet network.
1. The mode is set in the Modem Configuration screen of the
FaxFinder Server software.
2. For FF200 compatibility in PBX Routing Mode, the PBX must
support 'convergent routing,' that is, the routing of multiple
extension numbers to a single station port. PBXs lacking this
functionality can still be used with the FaxFinder in POTS
Mode.
