FaxFinder Cabling Guide Application Considerations 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.

FaxFinder Cabling Guide Application Considerations 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.

FaxFinder Cabling Guide Cabling Instructions 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. MultiTech Systems, Inc.
