Muratec F-150 - Manual (Page 82)

Beyond the basics
Setting security transmission
Your fax’s security transmission feature provides extra assurance that your documents
go where you’re sending them. When this feature is activated and your machine sends a
fax, the machine compares the last four digits of the dialed number to the other unit’s
Subscriber
ID (the phone number at the top of that unit’s transmissions; see page 1.10).
If these digits match, your call goes through. If they don’t, your machine disconnects the
call and prints an error message telling you to check the condition of the remote unit.
Before you activate this feature, please consider:
• Not all fax machine owners enter their phone numbers in their Subscriber
ID s. —
Indeed, some machines don’t even have a Subscriber ID . So, with security trans-
mission activated, your machine would disconnect its calls to such machines.
• Access codes can cause confusion. — If an autodialer entry ends with a long-distance
or other access code, activating this feature prevents calls to that fax. (After all,
the other fax’s users won’t put your codes at the end of their Subscriber
ID s.)
Note: In the following instructions, your fax’s LCD abbreviates Transmission as Tx.
1 Press / PROGRAM , J , 1, 1, ENTER . The LCD shows the current setting:
If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 3.
Otherwise, proceed to step 2.
2 To change the setting, press or / PROGRAM once or twice until your chosen
setting appears. In this example, we’ve chosen On.
3 Press ENTER to save the setting.
Setting for use of a closed network
For maximum communications security, use a closed network. This limits your
machine to faxing to and from only other Muratec fax machines which can “present”
the proper passcode.
Important: The passcode you use for closed network operation (and limiting polling
access; see page 2.33) is not the same as the protection passcode.
Once set this way, your machine will disconnect calls coming in from other
machines.
To set your fax machine’s closed network password:
1 Decide upon, and then write down, the four-digit closed network passcode
(0000–9999) you want to use and put it in a safe place.
2 Press / PROGRAM , J , 0, 9, ENTER . The LCD shows the current code:
If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 4.
Otherwise, proceed to step 3.
3 Use the numeric keypad to enter the desired four-digit closed network passcode.
4 Press ENTER to save the setting.
Note: To turn off the closed network passcode and return to normal fax reception,
change the code to 0000 by repeating steps 1–4 and entering 0000 in step 3.
To set your fax machine to operate in a closed network:
1 Press / PROGRAM , J , 1, 0, ENTER . The LCD shows your fax’s current setting:
If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 3.
Otherwise, proceed to step 2.
2 To change the setting, press or / PROGRAM once or twice until your chosen
setting appears. In this example, we’ve chosen On.
3 Press ENTER to save the setting.
Setting Block Junk Fax
Your fax machine’s Block Junk Fax feature lets you bar the gates against unautho-
rized incoming faxes (“junk fax”) … but, first, please understand how this feature
works, to determine whether it is right for you. There are four possible settings:
• Off — The feature isn’t activated.
Closed Net.: On
Program/Enter
