5.2 Fax routing
An important GFI FaxMaker attribute is the ability to determine the correct recipient of an incoming
fax. GFI FaxMaker provides several methods for this, each with its advantages and disadvantages.
Typically, DID routing is recommended for larger installations, while MSN and Line routing are
recommended for smaller installations.
Select the type of routing to use:
Routing method Description
DID/DTMF Routing
(ISDN/Analog/Digital)
Through DID routing, the telecommunications provider assigns you a range of virtual numbers
that enable individual users/printers/public folders to have their own fax numbers, without the
need of a physical fax line for each.
For more information, refer to DID/DTMF Routing (ISDN/Analog/Digital) (page 75).
MSN Routing
(ISDN only)
Route received faxes based on the line MSN number.
For more information, refer to MSN routing (page 77).
OCR Routing Route incoming faxes depending on the fax’s text content. Fax pages are converted to text using
OCR technology and text is searched for the user's first and last name and/or other configurable
text phrases.
For more information, refer to OCR routing (page 77).
Line Routing Route faxes based on the fax line that the fax was received on.
For more information, refer to Line routing (page 79).
CSID Routing Caller Sender Identification routing uses the sender’s fax machine ID to route faxes to particular
users.
For more information, refer to CSID routing (page 79).

5.2.1 DID/DTMF Routing (ISDN/Analog/Digital)
Through DID routing, the telecommunications provider assigns you a range of virtual numbers that
enable individual users/printers/public folders to have their own fax numbers, without the need of a
physical fax line for each. If you already have ISDN you can use available lines from your PBX. On
answering the fax call, the ISDN protocol passes the number on which the call is being answered to
GFI FaxMaker.
