FaxFinder Administrator User Guide
The FaxFinder Fax Server is an IP enabled fax server that works with other devices and services on your
communication network to send and receive faxes and to perform administrative functions.
communication network to send and receive faxes and to perform administrative functions.
●
FaxFinder requires access to an SMTP server to relay emails generated by the FaxFinder. These
emails contain faxes, administrative notifications and log files. It is recommended that you create a
DNS “A” record for the FaxFinder. Depending on the location of email recipients and IP resources,
access through your network’s Internet Gateway (for WAN access) may also be required.

●
FaxFinder fax ports require analog telephone lines that provide dial tone and ring voltage at
traditional levels and cadence (traditional electrical characteristics of a POTS line). To fully use
FaxFinder’s inbound fax routing capability, the communication lines (PBX ports) need to pass DID
(direct inward dial) information (in the form of DTMF digits) to the FaxFinder (upon the FaxFinder
port going off hook to answer the call). Refer to

Before installing FaxFinder on your IP Network, you need to know the target network’s current IP
scheme and implementation. What Ethernet equipment will the FaxFinder be connected to? Is it a
simple traditional switch or hub, or a Managed V-LAN switch that is IP address aware (that will block
traffic not of its configured subnet), or a port on a network enabled appliance like a PBX or router
that has similar controls as a Managed Switch?

The FaxFinder is set from the factory with an IP address of 192.168.2.1 (netmask 255.255.255.000).
●
Identify a workstation you can use to perform the initial FaxFinder configuration. Depending on
network variables, you may have to connect the workstation directly to the FaxFinder to perform
initial network setup. You will need to identify (and possibly change) the workstation’s current IP. A
laptop’s mobility may be helpful, but consider any active WiFi connection to avoid network conflicts
with the Ethernet connection to the FaxFinder.

FaxFinder's Ethernet interface is full duplex, auto negotiating 10/100 Mb and auto polarity sensing.
Auto polarity allows you to use a traditional straight through or cross-over, Ethernet RJ-45 cable.

The FaxFinder does not support POE (Power over Ethernet) or 1GB speeds. These features may need
to be disabled on the Ethernet port that the FaxFinder is connected to.
