Server Installation Multi-Tech FaxFinder Quick Start

f. Fax ID. The value entered in the “Fax ID” field will appear in

the fax log printed by the sender’s fax machine and,

typically, will be printed at the top of each page of the

transmitted fax.

In PBX Routing Mode (where the Routing field is set to

“DTMF Digits” or a ‘mode code’ option for a particular PBX

brand), the Fax ID is typically the PBX fax extension

number of the FaxFinder Administrator or the number of the

phone line to which the FaxFinder is connected.

In POTS Mode (where the Routing field is set to “Pots

Line”), the Fax ID is typically the number of the phone line

to which the FaxFinder is connected.

In either mode, an organizational identifier, like the

company name, might be used as the Fax ID instead of any

fax number.

g. Smart Dial. When Smart Dial mode is ON, the FaxFinder will

look for a dial tone before dialing. If, under normal

circumstances, no dial tone is presented to the FaxFinder,

then set Smart Dial to OFF. When Smart Dial is OFF, the

FaxFinder modem will seize the phone line and dial after a

3-second pause whether a dial tone is present or not.

Hint: If ‘no dial tone’ messages appear consistently,

set Smart Dial to OFF.
