Your 90si comes from the factory set for the Secure Only mode, whereby the commercial (COTS) fax connects to the 90si’s FAX jack (the other two phone jacks remain empty) and the 90si’s RS-232 Data cable connects to the Secure Data port of your crypto device. In this configuration the COTS fax can only be used for classified transac- tions with the crypto in Secure Data Mode.
(the 90si like electronics that they build into their faxes) along with the fax machine. Be- ing an external device, you retain your investment in the 90si and replace only the COTS fax machine (at COTS prices) when necessary.
GateWay Fax Systems, inc. 1 .3 Looking at your 90si The figures below indicate the location and functions of the 90si buttons, indicators and connectors. Old -vs- New 90si: • Old 90si has DIP switches on bottom. • New Async-Capable 90si does not.
Secure Voice, Secure Data and Clear Voice modes. It is for this reason that we recommend that you choose one of the more basic COTS faxes to connect to your 90si. All of the COTS faxes automated features will not function in the Secure environment.
Public or Unclassified documents as well; see Section 2.3.2 Dual-Mode Considerations. If your 90si is factory fresh, it is already pre-set to operate in this mode. If it has been in another location or you are unsure of the current setting, set the Configuration to (01) Secure Only. See Section 2.4, Setting Your Cho- sen Configuration for instructions on how to do this.

Setting Your Chosen Configuration If you are using the Secure Only Configuration and your 90si is new from the factory, you need not set the config- uration. If on the other hand your 90si is not factory new or you have chosen one of the Dual-Mode configurations you will need to tell the 90si what configuration you will be using.
Entering the Default Settings mode is done with the Secure Telephone / Crypto idle (not in Secure Data mode) by pressing and holding the Reset button on the side of the 90si for five (5) to six (6) seconds until both Green and Red lights extinguish.

The Easy-Fax 90si STU-III Gateway uses an external power supply. Since the 90si has no ON/OFF switch, the device is “on” as soon as power is applied. To confirm that the 90si is properly powered and ready to operate, ensure that the Green "POWER" light is illuminated and that the Red "FAULT" indicator is extinguished.
To send a public (unclassified) fax, simply place the call as you normally would using the fax machine handset, hook button (speakerphone) or one of its' programmed auto-dial buttons. Note: The 90si will not allow you to send a public facsimile while the secure telephone is in the secure data mode. 3 .5 Receiving a Public Fax (Dual-Mode Configurations Only) Receiving a public (unclassified) fax differs depending on whether you are using one or two telephone lines.
ISDN line, the overwhelmingly large number of STE's connected to PSTN lines will drive most secure fax users to this mode. As a result, the 90si comes with the Async Protocol (with a baud rate of 9600 bps) set as the factory default.
Setting and Using the Default Transmit Protocol There are two ways to tell the 90si what protocol you wish it to use when transmitting a secure fax. One way is using the Default Protocol Settings described in this section and the other is using the One-Time Codes described in the next section.
Interconnect Cables Insure that all of the cables that connect to the COTS fax, 90si and Secure Telephone are seated properly. It might be a good idea to remove each of them, one at a time, and re-seat the connectors.
Insure that you can send and receive a public fax. If you are using the Secure Only configuration, temporarily disconnect the fax from the 90si and connect it directly to the outside phone line. When you test receiving a fax, be sure to listen to how may rings occur before the fax answers.

90si User’s and Reference Guides. Asynchronous Async for short, Asynchronous refers to the way in which data is passed between the 90si and the attached Secure Phone. Specifically, no physical "clock" signal is generated by the Secure Phone. Instead, the timing data is em- bedded in the data and must be decoded by the 90si and the far end secure fax.

Red Data Port The term Red Data Port refers to the RS-232 serial interface on the crypto device to which the 90si's "STE" cable connects. It is also re- ferred to simply as Data Port. RS-232 Recommended Standard 232 is an industry...

"clocked" between the 90si and the Secure Phone using clock signals generated by the Secure Phone. The clock signal tells the 90si what "data rate" the Secure Phone is using. Two-Line Dual-Mode Configuration This 90si configuration allows the attached fax to function as BOTH a secure fax AND a non- secure fax.
