How PBX Routing Works
The PBX routes several incoming extension numbers to one
station port. When an incoming call is received by the PBX for
one of these extension numbers, the PBX will ring the station
port to which the FF200 is installed. The FF200 will detect the
ring and go off hook . When the PBX detects that the line has
been seized, it will send DTMF digits to the FF200 identifying the
extension number for which the fax was intended.
The FF200 will receive the fax and then check these DTMF
digits against the numbers in the FaxFinder Phone Book.
The FaxFinder Phone Book is an “inbound phonebook,” that is,
it’s a list of individuals who may receive faxes on the FaxFinder
system.
If a match is exists, the FaxFinder will direct the fax to the
matched recipient. The FaxFinder exports the fax as a TIFF file
and sends it to the matched recipient as an email attachment.
If no match exists, the FaxFinder will direct the fax to the
“Unassigned Number” email address in the FaxFinder Phone
Book.
If you are operating the FF200 in conjunction with an Avaya
Magix PBX or with an Avaya Definity PBX, then select “PBX
Mode Code” as the routing option. “PBX Mode Code” is a
special, proprietary type of PBX routing that works only with
those PBXs.
