Static Or Dynamic Delivery; Pbx Call Routing - Multitech FaxFinder FF240 Administrator's Manual

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Static or Dynamic Delivery

The source and type of communication lines that connect to FaxFinder dictate if the inbound fax routing method is
set for dynamic or static delivery. Dynamic delivery is based on the number dialed by the party sending the fax.
Static delivery is based on which communication line/FaxFinder port the inbound fax uses.
Although FaxFinder ports can be connected to an ordinary phone line (POTS line), they are often connected to a
PBX extension/station port. FaxFinder can deliver incoming faxes as email messages to any user on your network.
Use this feature when your PBX can route multiple receiving numbers to a single station port. A PBX may
determine which number was dialed by the originator, for example, through an IP enabled PBX communicating
directly with an IP based PSTN service or other IP enabled communication equipment.

PBX Call Routing

1. PBX sends a call to the FaxFinder by ringing the extension connected to the FaxFinder port.
2. FaxFinder picks up (goes off hook).
3. The PBX transmits a string of DTMF digits to the extension. Usually this is the last x number of digits
dialed by the calling side.
4. FaxFinder port answers as a fax machine and receives the incoming fax.
5. When the fax transmission completes, FaxFinder uses the DID information to determine delivery options.
FaxFinder does this by reading the recipient inbound routing table in the FaxFinder.
When the PBX provides call routing information, it does not matter which FaxFinder port (line) receives the call.
The fax will be routed to all the delivery options associated with the DID number (recipient extension) defined in
the Recipient routing table.
If the PBX/analog line cannot provide DID call routing, incoming faxes will be routed solely on the delivery options
associated with specific FaxFinder port (line) that the call was received on. You can define multiple delivery options
for each physical line/port.
