  • Page 2: 90Si Quick Reference Guide

    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 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.
  • Page 17: Receiving A Public Fax (Dual-Mode Configurations Only)

    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. 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.
  • Page 18: Selecting A Transmit Protocol

    ISDN line, the overwealmingly 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.
  • Page 19: Ricoh/Compat Protocols (Synchronous)

    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.
  • Page 20: Using A One-Time Transmit Protocol Code

    The Green light will blink a number of times. When it illuminated steady the 90si is ready send using the Mil STD Handshake w/o FEC protocol. Notes: *1 Most fax machines have a button that when depressed, returns dial-tone from the telephone system. This but- ton is often labled Hook, Manual Dial, Monitor, On Hook Dial or something to that effect.

    Interconnect Cables Insure that all of the cables that connecte to the COTS fax, 90si and Secure Telepnone are seated properly. It might be a good idea to remove each of them, one at a time, and re-seat the connectors.
  • Page 22: When All Else Fails

    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.
