rom the end user's perspective, received faxes will continue to print on the fax machine,
just as they always have.
Your Concord FaxLync (ATA) device connects your stand-alone fax machine, or
MFP, to Concord's cloud-based fax platform using your internet connection. While
inbound faxes will continue to print at your fax machine or MFP, receiving faxes via
FaxLync differs from traditional analog fax reception in a number of ways.
The inbound fax is not directly received by the FaxLync ATA, or your fax machine,
itself. The fax is first received by Concord's fax platform at one of our redundant
data centers. Once the fax has been successfully transmitted, Concord servers will
save the fax image electronically and post this for retrieval by your FaxLync device.
The FaxLync device will poll Concord servers, every sixty (60) seconds, looking
for new faxes. When it sees that a new fax job has arrived, your FaxLync device
will retrieve the fax image via your internet connection. Once that transfer is
completed, the FaxLync device will then call your fax machine or MFP and
transmit the image for printing.
Because Concord fax platform is handling all of the inbound calls, your fax number
should never ring busy. Since the fax calls are not being made directly to the
FaxLync device, note that there will be a slight interval between the time the sender
receives a confirmation of delivery and the time that the image actually prints on
your FaxLync device.
