2.3.1 Secure Only Configuration (Recommended)
This factory default configuration allows the attached COTS fax to function only as a secure fax. If you wish to
process Public or Uncalssified documents as well; see Section 2.3.2 "Dual-Mode Considerations."
If your 90si is factory fresh, it is already pre-set to operate in this mode. If it has been in another location or you
are unsure of the current setting, set the Configuration to (01) Secure Only. See Section 2.4, Setting Your Cho-
sen Configuration for instructions on how to do this.

2.3.2 Dual Mode Considerations
We define Daul-Mode as any 90si configuration that allows the COTS fax to directly access an outside line,
around the Secure Telephone, thus enabling the transmission and reception of unclassified faxes. The differienta-
tion between sending a document using the Secure Phone's Secure Data Mode (a secure fax) and sending that
same document to a non-secure fax is procedural. Therefore, if your 90si is configured for Dual-Mode, an un-
trained operator could compromise a document. It is for this reason that the 90si is factory set to the Secure Only
mode.
If untrained (regarding the 90si) people have access to your secure fax location, use the Secure Only Configura-
tion and have the users go elsewhere for unclassified faxes. If, on the other hand, a limited number of people have
access to the 90si, and they can all be trained on safe 90si operation, then one of the Dual-Mode configurations
may be approprite for the location.
If you wish to use your 90si system for both secure and non-secure (unclassified) fax documents choose one of the
the following dual-mode configurations.
