3 .0 Using your 90si

3 .1

Applying Power

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.
3 .2

Sending a Secure Fax

Use the following, generic, procedure to send a secure fax. You may want to make a version for your secure phone
and COTS fax that references the appropriate details.

Off-Hook
Most fax machines have a button that when depressed, returns dial-tone from the telephone system. This button
is often labeled Hook, Manual Dial, Monitor, On Hook Dial or something to that effect. If your fax only has a
handset lift it off-hook, dial a "1" and press the Start button and then hang it back in its' cradle. If your fax does
not have a handset or a hook button (many HP faxes don't) simply eliminate this step (i.e. use 1, Start).
Secure/Non-Secure Differentiation
Secure faxes are always initiated from the secure phone / crypto and then the secure phone is placed in secure data
mode for the duration of the secure fax transmission. The 90si will not allow public faxes to be initiated from the
secure phone / crypto.
3 .3

Receiving a Secure Fax

Important: Your commercial fax device MUST be set to auto-receive as a fax for your 90si system to work
properly. Additionally, make sure that your fax is set to auto-answer on the fewest number of rings it will allow.
Ideally one or two rings. (See your faxes manual).
