FaxFinder Cabling Guide Getting Started
MultiTech Systems, Inc. 3
Introduction
This guide describes the hardware setup of the FF100
FaxFinder unit, that is, how to connect its cables for operation,
and some preliminary considerations for its inter-operation with
PBX units. Instructions for software setup can be found in the
following chapters of the User Guide:
Chapter 3: Server Installation,
Chapter 5: FaxFinder Client Software Configuration, and
Chapter 8: Device Manager Installation & Operation.
Mechanical Mounting (Optional)
The FF100 FaxFinder comes with a mounting bracket to
facilitate attaching it to a flat surface.

PBX Compatibility
Before proceeding with cabling or software installation, you
should confirm that the telephony equipment with which you
intend to use the FaxFinder is compatible with it. Although the
FaxFinder can simply be connected to an ordinary phone
subscriber line (a POTS line), it is often connected to a PBX.
One of the convenient features of the FaxFinder is its ability to
deliver incoming faxes as email messages directly to users on
an ethernet network. This direct service depends on the PBX’s
ability to route multiple phone extension numbers to a single
station port. If the PBX lacks that ability, incoming faxes must be
sent to users through an attendant. If you will be connecting the
FaxFinder to a PBX, it is important to understand the PBX’s
capabilities in this regard beforehand. The following section
explains why the capabilities of your PBX will determine how you
set up the FaxFinder unit to work with it.
FaxFinder Operating Modes
The FaxFinder FF100 Fax Server provides two-way fax service
to PC client users on an Ethernet network. For outgoing service,
users send faxes by using the Print command of any application
program and selecting the FaxFinder as the target Printer. For
incoming fax service, the FaxFinder converts the incoming faxes
into graphic files that are sent as email attachments to fax
recipients on the ethernet network.

If the FaxFinder is connected to a PBX station port and that PBX
can route multiple phone extension numbers to the FaxFinder,
then each user can have his/her own incoming fax number and
faxes will go directly to each user’s email address. This is the
FaxFinder’s PBX Routing Mode of operation. Because there
are several ways of implementing PBX routing mode (some
generic and some specific to certain PBXs) there are several
different “Routing” settings in the FaxFinder software’s “Modem
Configuration” screen that will implement the PBX Routing Mode
for these different situations.
If the FaxFinder is connected directly to a POTS line or to the
station port of a PBX that cannot route multiple extension
numbers to a single station port, then all incoming faxes must go
to the email address of a single recipient who acts as an
attendant and forwards the faxes to the intended recipients.
This is the FaxFinder’s POTS Mode of operation. In the
FaxFinder software’s “Modem Configuration” screen, you simply
choose the “POTS Line” option to implement the POTS Mode of
operation.
In order for each user to receive incoming faxes directly, the
FaxFinder must be connected to a PBX that can route multiple
extensions to a single port (convergent routing). If your PBX
does not support this convergent routing, then incoming faxes
must be sent to recipients through an attendant.

Cabling Process
Part A: Connect the FaxFinder to Power Outlet and
Ethernet
Summary: Place the FaxFinder in a convenient location, and
then connect it to your AC power outlet and Ethernet.
1. Connect FaxFinder to AC Outlet.
Plug the DC power transformer into a power outlet or power
strip. Secure the other end to the PWR jack on your FaxFinder.
The DC power transformer is included with your FaxFinder.
Caution: Use only the DC power transformer supplied with
the FaxFinder. Use of any other transformer voids the
warranty and can damage the FaxFinder.
Note: The FF100’s power supply connector will be either:
(1) a plug-to-jack connection with a screw-on retaining
ring, or (2) a simple plug-to-jack connection.

2.Verify powering.
After power is applied, there is a 4-second delay before the
PWR LED comes on. In normal operation, the PWR LED will be
flashing.
When you apply power, the FaxFinder performs a diagnostic
self-test. The PWR indicator flashes when the test is complete
and the unit is ready. If this does not happen, check that the
power supply is solidly connected and that the AC outlet is live.

3. Connect FaxFinder to Ethernet Network.
Plug one end of your RJ45 ethernet cable into the FaxFinder’s
ethernet jack and the other end into your network ethernet hub.
This ethernet cable is not included with your FaxFinder unit.
Caution: Before connecting to the Ethernet Network, make
sure that the network to which you are connecting the
FaxFinder is not a 192.168.2.x subnet. Because the
FaxFinder’s factory default IP address is 192.168.2.1,
connecting it to a network that has a different device at
that same IP address would cause data interference.
If it is a 192.168.2.x subnet, connect from the
Administrative PC to the FaxFinder using an RJ45
crossover cable until the FaxFinder’s IP address has
been configured. Thereafter, connect the FaxFinder into
the network with an ordinary RJ45 cable.
