Polling Security
Polling Security allows you to prevent unauthorized polling of your machine.
When this function is activated, polling will only take place when one of the
following conditions is met:
♦
The fax number of the polling fax machine has been stored in your
machine’s list of permitted fax numbers (called "passcode numbers"). The
polling fax machine must also have its fax number programmed in itself, as
explained in
Entering Your Name and Fax Number in Chapter 1.
♦
A System number has been programmed in the polling fax machine which
matches your machine’s System number or one of your machine’s ID
numbers.
♦
An ID number has been programmed in the polling fax machine which
matches your machine’s System number.
System and ID numbers are 4-digit numbers which provide you with an
alternate means of giving and receiving polling permission when you don’t
want to use fax numbers. The steps for programming these numbers are
described in the following pages.
Note: System and ID numbers can only be used if the other fax machine is also a
Sharp machine.
