Chapter 1 – Product Description &

Specifications

Product Description

This manual describes four Multi-Tech V.34 fax servers: the FF130 1-port FaxFinder unit, the FF230 2-

port FaxFinder unit, the FF430 4-port FaxFinder unit, and the FF830 8-port FaxFinder unit. All four of

these units are complete, economical, easy-to-use network fax servers. With any of these units, you can

send and receive faxes as emails and send faxes from any application that can print.

When connected to a station port on a PBX, the FaxFinder functions as a network fax server with two-

way fax service. Multiple PBX extension numbers are dedicated to incoming fax traffic which is routed to

the FaxFinder. The FaxFinder converts the incoming faxes into graphic files that can be sent as email

attachments, to a network share, to a printer or even to trash. Because faxes can be delivered in the

form of email, the fax recipient could be at any reach-able email address. So, for example, a sales person

could receive faxes while traveling by using a regular company fax number and picking up the email

messages remotely. Each fax-dedicated PBX extension number can be associated with a particular email

address.

Chapter 2 – Getting Started

Introduction

This chapter shows you how to set up your Multi-Tech Model FF130/230/430/830 FaxFinder.

The setup process includes both cabling of the FaxFinder unit and configuration of the FaxFinder server

software. The FaxFinder server software resides on the FaxFinder unit and does not need to be installed.

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 called or calling 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.

To operate the FF130/230/430/830 FaxFinder system in conjunction with a PBX, that PBX must be able

to route incoming calls from many PBX extension numbers to a single PBX station port. This multiple-

extension-to-single-port capacity allows multiple PBX users to have their own unique directory numbers

for receiving faxes. If you are using the FF130/230/430/830 in conjunction with a PBX, be sure that the

PBX has this multiple-extension-to-single-port functionality and that it is activated.

Incoming calls can be routed multiple ways by the PBX:

1. One to one mapping with the incoming number mapped to a station port where the FaxFinder

resides.

2. Route based on the calling number. For this the PBX and phone service must support CID or ANI. This

can allow multiple predefined calling numbers to be routed to a FaxFinder port and onward to any

client.

3. Route based on the called number. For this the PBX and phone service must support DID or DNIS. This

can allow multiple predefined called numbers to be routed to a FaxFinder port and onward to any

client.

FaxFinder Operating Modes

When placed in the optimal environment, the Multi-Tech Systems FaxFinder can provide a host of useful

functions. Inbound routing, that is fax transmissions coming into the FaxFinder unit; can be sent to many

destinations. An incoming fax can be sent directly to a printer to be immediately printed, it can be sent

to an email address for paperless reading, it can be discarded, or it can be deposited to a shared

directory for users to retrieve should they have access rights.

Inbound Routing. Fax clients receive faxes in the form of email attachments. From the remote fax

sender’s perspective, PBX extension phone numbers are functionally identical to ordinary fax phone

lines. Also, inbound faxes can be automatically printed or stored in a shared folder for archiving or

multiple user access.

Outbound Routing. Fax clients on the network can send faxes directly from their PCs using any

application program that can print. The application program must be set so that the FaxFinder itself is its

printing destination. In response to the ‘Print’ command, the FaxFinder turns the ‘print file’ image into a

fax. The FaxFinder transmits the fax to the public phone system (PSTN) or to another PBX extension.

Store and Forward faxing allows for emails to be sent through the FaxFinder as a fax or users can simply

When connected directly to a regular POTS line (or to a PBX without ‘convergent’ routing capability), the

FaxFinder functions as an outgoing fax server with incoming fax service going through one or more

attendants. Each of the FaxFinder’s modems has a separate fax number and each modem can have a

separate attendant that receives the fax messages as emails and then has the duty to direct them to

their intended recipients. (Note that one attendant could serve more than one of the FaxFinder’s

modems – some or all of the modems.) For example, an FF830 FaxFinder might be used in a company

with several departments that regularly receive faxes but in differing volumes. Suppose the sales

department and the purchasing department receive many faxes and the shipping and service

departments receive much less fax traffic. In that case, three of the FF830 modems might direct faxes to

a single attendant in the sales department, and an additional three modems might direct faxes to the

purchasing department; one modem might be directed to an attendant for the shipping department and

another to an attendant for the service department. When not connected to a PBX, all incoming faxes go

to a single email recipient, the attendant, who then sends them on, as needed, to the intended

recipient. It is also possible to operate a FaxFinder unit in a mixed mode such that some of its modems

are connected to PBX extensions while other of its modems are connected to POTS lines.
