FaxFinder Cabling Guide Getting Started
MultiTech Systems, Inc. 3
Introduction
This guide describes the hardware setup of the FF120, FF220,
FF420, and FF820 FaxFinder units, that is, how to connect their
cables for operation, and some preliminary considerations for
their inter-operation with PBX units. Instructions for software
setup can be found in the following chapters of the Administrator
User Guide:
Chapter 3: Server Installation,
Chapter 5: FaxFinder Client Software Configuration, and
Chapter 8: Device Manager Installation & Operation.
Mechanical Mounting
The FF120 & FF220 FaxFinder can be surface mounted with
screws spaced according to the dimensions shown. The FF420
& FF820 are normally table-top units but can be rack-mounted.

graphic file attachments. They will send faxes by printing to
the FaxFinder server from application programs.
FaxFinder Operation
The FaxFinder Fax Servers provides two-way fax service to PC
client users on an Ethernet network.
Fax Sending
For outgoing faxing, users send faxes by using the Print
command of any application program and selecting the
FaxFinder as the target Printer.
Fax Receiving: Automated vs. Manual Routing
For incoming fax service, the FaxFinder converts the incoming
faxes into graphic files (PDF or TIF) that are sent as email
attachments to fax recipients on the ethernet network. These
emails may then either go directly to the recipient (Automated
Routing Mode) or to an attendant who will forward them to their
ultimate recipients (Manual Routing Mode).
To use Automated Routing Mode, the FaxFinder must operate
in conjunction with a PBX and the PBX must be able to route
many incoming DID fax numbers to a group of station ports as
DTMF digits. On the Multi-Tech website (look up “FaxFinder”
under Documents and see Configuration Guides) we have a list
of certified PBX configuration guides for FaxFinders. If you
Application Considerations FaxFinder Cabling Guide

believe that your PBX has the necessary DID routing capability
but your PBX is not listed, contact Multi-Tech Technical Support
(see page 2). In Automated Routing Mode, the line ports on the
FaxFinder will be connected to the appropriate station ports on
your PBX.
With Manual Routing, each phone line connected to the
FaxFinder can have an email address assigned to it. In this case
the POTS lines will be connected to the line ports on the
FaxFinder.
