Installation where an outgoing fax machine is required on incoming line: NOTE: If you daisy chain from an outgoing fax machine, it should be set to either not auto answer or answer after 4 rings or more so that the FaxReceiver will pickup first. NOTE: You should also set the fax machine to tone dialing and not pulse dialing. Pulse dialing causes voltage spikes on the line that can be mistaken for an incoming ring, and the FaxReceiver will attempt to answer. Copyright 2006 Rin

LEDs The LEDs are itemized as follows: LK (Yellow) LED The Link LED indicates that the port is functionally connected to an external port. It lights up solid when the connected hub is turned on and connected to the LAN. If the LED does not light up, there may be a problem with the cabling or the Ethernet hub. These last two LEDs enable monitoring of the traffic passing through the device. TX (Red) LED The Transmit LED blinks when a data packet is being sent from the FaxReceive

This will work on any FaxReceiver that is on the same virtual network. Black Box has provided a FaxConfig utility that allows you to perform the basic IP configuration of any FaxReceiver that is on the same physical network. These are the steps necessary to configure the FaxReceiver using the Windows command prompt telnet client.

TCP/IP SETTINGS 1) Enter an unused IP Address from your network, or click on the DHCP/RARP Enable. NOTE: If you change to an address that is NOT in the same network range that your PC is, you will still be able to see the FaxReceiver with the FaxConfig utility, but you will not be able to change any parameters until you are on the same subnet. 2) If you are not using DHCP or RARP, make certain that the Subnet Mask is correct. 3) If you are not using DHCP or RARP, set t

6) Time Server IP 1,2, & 3. The 192.043.244.018 address is the time server at NCAR. You can change this to a preferred timeserver and add two more timeservers. Without a timeserver the timestamp will be incorrect and your spam filter may trap the email. NOTE: All timeservers send the time UT. In order to set the time stamps correctly you must adjust your Time Zone Offset under the Fax Settings tab. There is a list of public timeservers at this URL: http://tf.nist.gov/service/time

Maximum is 30 rings. 7) Time Zone Offset – This is the offset from UT. If you are in Greenwich, England, this number will be 0.

TELNET SETTINGS Select the TelNet tab. 1) Telnet port – This will enable the end user to set up a port that the company does not block (e.g. port 80 or even port 25).

If you change the TELNET port number and don't reboot, the new number takes effect on the *second* new telnet session. i.e. open telnet o
